TENNESSEAN: Test scores for students using vouchers “continue to lag behind their peers statewide, according to data released by the state…”

So not only do they hurt public schools - they don’t even do what @GovBillLee claims. #LeesVoucherScam www.tennessean.com/story/news/e...

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.”

The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him.

None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!
FBI Director Chris Wray resigns following Trump nomination of Patel
FBI Director Chris Wray will step down from his post early next year, the bureau said on Wednesday, after Republican President-elect Donald Trump signaled his intent to fire the veteran official and replace him with firebrand Kash Patel.

So because *other* politicians have drinking problems, somehow that's adequate justification to put one in charge of the Pentagon. Got it.

Most Christians celebrate Jesus mainly for his birth and death, and gloss over the insignificant period between them known as "his entire life".

This we need
Two senators have introduced a constitutional amendment that would establish term limits for Supreme Court justices, a long-shot escalation of the congressional effort to overhaul the nation’s highest court amid ethics scandals and sinking public approval.
Supreme Court term-limits amendment proposed by Sens. Manchin, Welch
The long-shot proposal by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-West Virginia) would impose 18-year term limits on new justices.

And where MAGA is being fooled, is even with vouchers, they still won't be able to enroll their kids in the elite private schools 🙄 Arkansas is slowly turning public schools into low earning trade schools for the majority of students.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.
