Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

Certified school librarians boost test scores, grad rates, & critical thinking, yet their numbers are declining. When we fight for school libraries, we fight for the future of education, & when we fight for the future of education, we fight for a better future PERIOD. #Skybrarians #TLChat #EduSky

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans from predatory lenders, junk fees, and fraud. Shutting it down does nothing more than give sketchy companies a free pass to prey on the public. We’re not going to let that happen.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
