Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning.

(Published Dec. 2024)
Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers.
Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

As much as I like stem education, perhaps we need to revisit where those curriculum minutes came from.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Why do I think of Lynda and Stewart Resnick every time trump talks about how dry it is in Southern California?
Trump: "We shouldn't be in a position where you have tumbleweed that's dry as a bone. Even tumbleweed can be nice & green & rich & it's not gonna burn. You don't even have to remove it. It's not gonna burn. But it's just dry. So I hope you can all get together & say I'm so happy with the water."

The MAGA faithful's response to a bishop's plea for mercy is startling. Are these the 'Christian values' they're always talking about? www.azcentral.com/story/opinio... via @azcentral
I've never been prouder of my church after hearing Episcopal bishop's plea to Trump
Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop who prayed for mercy, has been shown none by Trump and the Christians who follow him. Where are their values?

The media called Musk's salute, which Neo Nazis celebrated, a "hand gesture."

Why won't they acknowledge exactly what we all saw here?

As someone who worked in national newsrooms for years, let me explain why the media is allergic to meeting the moment in times like this.

To all the gaslighters at NPR. Jan 6th was not a “protest”

Steve Bannon: “I want a complete 100% moratorium on all immigration."

It was never just about illegal immigration for these people.
