The sooner this happens, the better. Maybe that old white man will acquiesce and hand the chair over to her. That'd be smart, deferential, and politically astute -- recognizing his own limitations and acknowledging her growing influence among the voting age group Dems want to attract. Do it.

I have a student whose reading improved two whole grade levels since September - from barely sounding out to almost ready for beginner chapter books - and I'm sending her to talk to every teacher who has ever taught her so they can all celebrate with her. She's about six feet tall today.

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.
