Oh look— COLUMBIA ACADEMY, which takes vouchers, is raising their tuition fees… just like public school advocates predicted they would.🤔
Congrats @GovBillLee on successfully steering hundreds of millions of dollars to already wealthy (mostly religious) private schools, for kids who already go there

Those metallic letters in the correct font didn't happen overnight. This has been planned for a long time. So when Donald says he is "surprised" and "honored" by the name-change, he is lying. It was his plan all along.

Sorkin: Trump said that China was going to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of the year. I’ve asked members of the administration: the end of the year is basically here—we’re about 15 days away. I think we’ve sold about 300,000 metric tons. So how do you get from 300,000 to 12 million?
