A puff piece from the new CBS News on Alpha Schools, the AI-driven chain with plans to expand across the US and is eager to take more funding from taxpayers through voucher and ESA programs.
Is AI replacing teachers? At 2 North Texas private schools, it is
It's called Alpha School for grades K-8, and it's the most expensive private school in Texas. One campus is in Plano and the other is in Fort Worth.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.
Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.
These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

There are two problems with Senator Collins sponsoring a bill to continue SNAP benefits during the shutdown:
1. House Republicans refuse to come to work so nothing will happen.
2. Trump already has money that he’s legally required to use for SNAP and won’t

One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.
That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.
