In a letter to the editor of @wsj.com, AFT President Randi Weingarten acknowledges the role of artificial intelligence in the classroom and explains that the AFT’s new National Academy for AI Instruction is meant to empower educators to use the tools thoughtfully and ethically in the classroom.

This is what dictators do.

Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly moved to cushy new Texas prison as she pushes for deal to tell all on Epstein, his associates Ghislaine Maxwell has quietly been moved to a far more favorable Texas prison camp as she hashes a possible deal to divulge secrets about her sex-crimes accomplice Jeffrey Epstein.

So let’s see…the Trump admin is sending innocent people to be tortured in foreign gulags, bringing back in homocidal maniacs, and transferring convicted sex traffickers into minimum security prisons. Do I have that right? nypost.com/2025/08/01/u...

Weakest 3 months of job growth since 2020.

To speak or not to speak: Why many aid groups are silent about the Trump cuts Charities usually like to talk to the public about their good works. In the wake of the Trump aid cuts, there's a new approach: "anticipatory silence." It's controversial.

$4 trillion.

Education Department says it will release billions in grant money withheld from schools The Trump administration is releasing billions of dollars in grants to schools for adult literacy, English language instruction and other programs, the Education Department said Friday.
