My special needs brother was in elementary school in the 80s. I remember when services were sparse for him. Luckily, my parents were educators and were able to figure it out. Most Americans are not in that boat. We cannot leave our SPED kids behind. #DontDefundPublicSchools

The projection king. We chronicled and documented all the paid operatives Trump had at his events during his campaign posing as rando citizens. This also shows you that these protests are working and he is hearing it from his allies in Congress.

Lindsey Graham is the definition of a weak, sniveling, gutless opportunist — an unprincipled political weather vane who grovels before power with embarrassing desperation. A hollow man with no convictions, no integrity, and no spine, shifting his loyalties whenever it serves his personal interests.

Zelensky owns a suit, and he looks damn good in it. Because he has a decent tailor. And he's in really great physical condition. He actually IS young and vigorous. He doesn't need a suit to be a leader. Clothes definitely don't make the man.
