Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats. But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids. This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

This screenshot is the smoking gun. The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance. Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him. 1/2

Is it fair to use A.I. to grade student essays, if you’ve prohibited students from using A.I. to write them? Teachers are increasingly using the technology in their own work, like grading essays and tutoring struggling students, even as they express profound hesitation about its ethics.

So basically, only Christians people will be allowed to work for the government? If you have a Bible thumping co-worker shoving Republican Jesus down your throat everyday, and tell them to back off, you’re fired? MAGA Christians will weaponize this on their LGBTQ co-workers and whoever they hate…

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
