Vouchers, Patriotism and Prayer: The Trump Administration’s Plan to Remake Public Education Education Secretary Linda McMahon is bringing about a new era in education — and perhaps the end of public schools as we know them.

ProPublica asked Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice what percentage of kids she’d like to see in public schools: “I hope to get to zero,” she said.

Some at the Education Department agree — and are dismantling the agency from within.

Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

Screenshot of a More Perfect Union tweet quoting Trevor Noah and Zohran discussing how cities prioritize fixing problems for the wealthy while neglecting issues affecting the poor, including comments about TSA inefficiencies. Below is a video still showing Zohran speaking into a microphone during a podcast-style interview.

This is a great insight.

Inside the Company Helping America’s Biggest Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Treatments When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

When people talk about having two systems of justice, this is what they mean.

Black graphic with text "People detained in 'Alligator Alcatraz' have a right to legal representation. President Trump, we'll see you in court."

President Trump said the only way out of "Alligator Alcatraz" is to be deported — but that's not the way U.S. law works.

We're defending people's right to contest their detention and deportation in court.

😂 Good point. Bondi ordered 1,000 FBI agents to review roughly 100K pages of Epstein files (the ones that don't exist but now exist again but Obama wrote) - and Senator Dick Durbin said the FBI agents were told to "flag" any mentions of Trump. This is a must read from Marcy:

The vote was 211 to 210.

Don’t forget: Trump already tried to sue a woman in 2023 for calling him a rapist, and a judge threw the case out. The woman he tried to sue? E Jean Carroll. 😂

Wisconsin’s Derrick Van Orden received backlash over MAGA spending bill post

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Hey remember in 2017, when Donald Trump was President, and North Korea successfully tested a thermonuclear device, and in response Trump, like, decided to become best friends with Kim Jong Un?

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

It might be easier for some in the press to get it right if the Founding Fathers had used "Bribe" instead of "Emolument."

US supreme court allows Trump trans military ban to take effect Justices rule ban can be enforced while challenge plays out in court, a decision that could lead to thousands discharged

The Supreme Court just greenlit a cruel, baseless ban on transgender troops—again.

Religious extremism and bigotry have no place in our laws or our military.

We stand with those fighting for equality and dignity in service.

I believe the separation of Church and State is one of our most important ideals as a nation. When that line blurs, law and equality matters less, and flawed mortals get to act with more and more unchecked power in ways that threaten freedom.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak.

The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

How is this Making America Healthy Again?

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

This picture is concerning. The planet is much closer to us than I thought.

I'm sure this has *nothing* to do with the fact that Intuit, the company that owns TruboTax, which makes money off filing income taxes with the IRS, gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his inauguration slush fund. #Corruption

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?
