Public schools following standards have seen similar declines. By the time children begin school they are accustomed to the short attention span that is the norm online. They treat school computers the same. They resist reading on screens and race through online testing as if on a video game.

They really have negatively impacted childrenโ€™s learning especially.

American schools werenโ€™t broken until Silicon Valley used a lie to convince them they wereโ€”now reading and math scores are plummeting | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath warns the U.S.โ€™s $30 billion bet on laptops in schools has made Gen Z less cognitively capable than their parents.

"Technology was put in schools in a bid to help them learn. Instead, Horvath said, computers had an adverse impact on learning.

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people โ€” not Netanyahuโ€™s right-wing government โ€” should determine U.S. foreign policy.

Netanyahu on how Israel is different from Iran: "Here's the difference ... these mass murderers in Tehran target civilians."

Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the murder of between 75,000 and 186,000 civilians, at least 20,000 children or babies.

You can't respond to something which hasn't happened.

That's an attack, not a response.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Arenโ€™t Getting Help from the State Department โ€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,โ€ a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East โ€” but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

Americaโ€™s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

Kristi Noem must go now.

It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability.

She believes sheโ€™s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents.

We demand answers.

USA gun laws suck. The 2nd Amendment specifically deals with, "a well regulated militia, being necessary to the protection of a free state, ..." Yet, the Court says it isn't about militias. It uses the word, "regulated." The state isn't the enemy, it is about "protection of a free state."

Rubio Today: Itโ€™s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. Thatโ€™s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didnโ€™t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

She doesnโ€™t raise her voice!โ€จShe raises accountability!

Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they werenโ€™t!

Strong women donโ€™t need permission!โ€จThey need evidence!โ€จAnd she brought receipts!
