So the school privatizers issue a “report” that says we need more school privatization (charters, etc), and it gets reported like they have no dog in the fight? Fascinating.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Another huge blinding neon sign of how Not Normal politics is right now. The very mention of a politician cutting a single penny of funding to homeless vets would've been a major scandal at any time between WWII and 2016. Today? Billions of dollars? Just part of the scenery.
Trump is stealing almost $4 billion from a program to prevent homelessness in Vets, by falsely claiming it isn't working. As usual, the facts contradict Trump's claims.
