Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 6hThis seems like something that shouldn't matter until you realize this senator (and his staff) are on the Senate Armed Services Committee, but are demonstrably incapable of fact checking or overseeing anything at all. 000
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 12hThis statement is either ignorant or a lie. Multiple sources including the census show 1/2 of young kids are cared for by a non-relative. And common sense says there are many parents who would love to put their kids in better care arrangements if they could afford it. 200

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 29/09/2026I want this so bad but I think a lot of people on this site can't (for the best reasons, bless you) accept that most Americans hate schools and education. Like a large majority. "More money for public schools" would be as popular as "more money for data centers." I hate that it's true but it is. 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 28/09/2026Ever have like a micro-moment nightmare?

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 25/09/2026Research shows that numeracy is as high-signal a predictor of future success as literacy.

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 24/09/2026Every single person involved in this must go to prison. Just like all the other crimes. Dems, that is our demand. We won't move on from this. We will bury it in prison cells so it never happens again. You can do that or we'll find others who will. 000
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 23/09/2026Serious question: There are lots of empty storage tanks. Are diesel prices expected to be severely elevated long enough that domestic refiners just store things for 90 days to maintain prices? Both as a marketing tactic and to deter future expert bans? 010
