I’m not joking—the GOP subsidy plan is literally vouchers.
Cassidy carried the school voucher bill in the Senate too.
Same “empower” marketing.
Same basic weakness: lack of direct investment means the voucher approach leaves at-risk, costliest “consumers” in the public pool.

I try to tackle why Democrats have lost the initiative on public schools.
And contrary to critics, it’s not the unions.
If anything, Democrats have taken public school advocates for granted.

Calling all reporters quoting GOP senators on health care: The Trump/Republican Party health care plan is there for all to see. It's in Project 2025 and would remove consumer protections, privatize Medicare, restrict access to birth control and weaken vaccine mandates.

Trump says Republicans did poorly last night because he wasn't on the ballot and the shutdown. I agree. He glitters on the ballot but when he has to govern, he's a disaster. And people are on the Dem's side in the shutdown. Food for poor kids wins over tax breaks for billionaires.

I hope Kansas Gov. Kelly takes similar action.
In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:
I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Reporters, could you fact-check this. Are we, the taxpayers, on the hook, and for how much, to pay for Trump's Great Gatsby party for his rich friends while poor folks are losing their food benefits? Because if that's true, I think the this should be the lede for the next few days.
