We'll be covering this on the show tonight.

The White House needs to understand: Teachers are their union. It's how we collectively have a voice. When you attack unions, you attack teachers. When you leave us out of the conversation, you ignore teachers voice.

It really is fucking scary

I have a quick question....I would like to go to Paris this summer but am concerned that there might be negative reactions to me being an American because of what Trump has been doing. Has anyone experienced any anti-American sentiments when traveling there?

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

This week, President Trump gutted the Department of Education, firing half of the staff and making it nearly impossible to distribute the resources schools depend on. As @rweingarten.bsky.social pointed out, "This is an evisceration of the department, not cuts for efficiency or waste."

One thing you really see every day is the different risk appetites between MAGA-era Republicans and Democrats. Basically compulsive, reckless, dangerous constant risk-seeking, versus almost comical levels of risk-aversion.

Republicans claim they are not planning cuts to Medicaid. They are LYING. Their plan kicks seniors out of nursing homes and leaves kids without doctors.

One more time for the people in the back.
