The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Shout out to all the public school teachers, principals, secretaries, paraprofessionals, students and families! Here’s a story I made last year featuring the principal of Sanchez in San Francisco: www.kalw.org/2024-04-15/i...
It's the principal
What’s it like to be a principal? Why is there turnover?

Republicans’ budget bill could strip free school meals away from up to 18.3 MILLION CHILDREN.

They are taking food out of kids’ mouths so they can give billionaires a tax cut.

SHAME.

One Republican is exposing the Trump cronies' “big, beautiful” lie:

Speaking to CNN, Rep. Thomas Massie said, “Under the policies of this bill, we’re going to add ... $3.5 to $5 trillion more [to the deficit] than would have been added otherwise.” Trump replied he should be voted out of office.

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?

RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research

D: I just read them to you!
