Chad Adleman's recent Substack on DOGE and IES. Feeling all the feels over here while reading it.

“Don’t pull the rug out from under kids.” Watch & share: @rweingarten.bsky.social talks to @cnn.com about what kids need to thrive as Senate hearings convene for Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon. youtu.be/um-DcyIrHSU

While Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid, Democrats are fighting to save it. We know that healthcare is a human right, not a privilege for the wealthy. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Sharing some Black brilliance, because Black History Month should absolutely be celebrated.

Thankful for this view. It means I’m at an amazing hospital, with amazing doctors and an amazing mission. Thankful for good heath insurance so my daughter doesn’t have to suffer because of her scoliosis. She’s thriving!

What we're seeing with this map is mainly the impact of how Title I cuts would hit low-spending (low-wealth) states. - from @axios.com's April Rubin www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...
