Miami-Dade schools are set to lose $45M in federal funding for migrant students, teacher development, and English learners. The cuts come amid a sweeping rollback of education grants by the Biden admin. My latest for the @MiamiHerald: miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
I'm excited for the Rubio vs. Gabbard cage match. Remember: Rubio helped produce a report concluding that Moscow aimed to harm the Clinton campaign and help Trump and Gabbard even talked Russian interference on Rogan’s podcast.
ICE in trying to meet their quotas is arresting green card holders, who are lawfully in the U.S. Recently a green card holder in Seattle was released after he had spent one month in solitary confinement. It is the ICE tormentors who should be in confinement.

A dark day for NPR and PBS . I never thought I'd live to see an President so twisted in his hatred of public service broadcasting that he would do all he could to damage and destroy it. Worst for rural communities who will have stations go dark.

Republicans are forcing a vote to slash funding for public tv and radio – money that was already committed in a BIPARTISAN vote. People were hired and organizations were structured around this funding. This is NOT how you make government more efficient. I’m a NO.

There are politicians who say it is disrespectful to those who died to focus on what went wrong with the response to the July 4th flood in Kerr County. On the contrary, now is the time to implement an advanced warning system when attention to the failures is white hot.
