TENNESSEAN: Test scores for students using vouchers “continue to lag behind their peers statewide, according to data released by the state…” So not only do they hurt public schools - they don’t even do what @GovBillLee claims. #LeesVoucherScam www.tennessean.com/story/news/e...

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.” The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.

Just finished watching Hard Knocks AFC North on MAX. The number one thing that stood out was how each team is coached. Taking nothing away from my Ravens or any other of the teams, but Mike Tomlin, mannnn, he’s on another level! #Hardknocks #AFCNorth #NFL #Ravens #Steelers #Bengals #Browns

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Yes, the point Bernie is making that the military budget should be cut is valid. But what Bernie misses is when he frames it as praise of Elon with no qualifier it is going to be used as validation of what these grifters are up to in general.
