If you watched the Oval Office, Trump targeted two individuals whose only offense was saying the truth. Then he targeted a law firm because it sued FoxNews. It ended with him totaling the money Big Law firms that have capitulated owe him in pro bono.

We cannot give up. We must all commit to fight.

“Syntax refers to the rules governing the arrangement of words & phrases in a sentence to convey meaning.”

Teachers don’t have time to “reinvent the wheel” like creating their own scope & sequence. That’s why I love this Syntax scope & sequence-it does all the planning for me for each grade level!

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.

Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

This will be Paul Weiss' most enduring shame. Performatively denouncing an honorable man and a former partner in order to please an autocrat.

"Paul Weiss has acknowledged the wrongdoing of its former partner Mark Pomerantz."

A "former" major Democratic law firm.

Lawyers at Paul Weiss now have a choice. Stay and understand you are now aligned with Trump or leave with your dignity.

Teachers have been told repeatedly to differentiate for the individual learning needs of students…but according to behaviour scientist Dr. Berens, the story that Ss learn differently is NOT true!

“Actually all students don't learn differently- the learning process is the same for all human beings.”

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Washington makes money available to the states to help young people with disabilities enter the work force. New Jersey has the worst record of helping connect families with such help.

When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.

The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees.

Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.
