If you care about public education in Ohio, I can't recommend the "10th Period" newsletter enough. Stephen Dyer's latest post details how House Republicans intend to screw over fiscally responsible districts to peddle the mirage of "tax relief." 10thperiod.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Trump: "What it was, we believe, is somebody that was on the line with permission, somebody that worked with Mike Waltz at a lower level, had Goldberg's number or call through the app, and somehow this guy ended up on the call."

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

The entire conversation is a disaster. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

NH Republicans are going to try to shut down the New Hampshire State Library tomorrow through a budget cut vote. This library is THE OLDEST state library in America. They are also going to vote to eliminate the NH Council of the Arts. If you're in NH, pound the lines and tell your reps to vote no

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

Lots of folks talking about what could be happening to the USPS. I did a dive into what that means for Alaska, especially when it comes to the topic of Bypass mail, which is grossly misunderstood in the Lower 48. Takeaway - the costs to the USPS for ditching Bypass would be huge.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

If we can ever succeed in making government cool again, one idea that would be wonderful is a 21st-century version of the Works Progress Administration. One specific project I’d love to see is a giant oral history project of care workers. Curious what other projects/topics people would like.
