ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

My latest @npr.org story: If you have to use the U.S. Postal Service to return a mail-in ballot, USPS recommends mailing it at least a week before your state's deadline. And if you're mailing close to Election Day, stop by a post office to ask for a postmark to make sure it gets one on the same day
npr.org
Why mailing a ballot close to Election Day may get it rejected for a late postmark
If you're using the U.S. Postal Service to return a ballot close to Election Day, officials recommend getting it postmarked at a post office to avoid getting caught up in mail processing changes.

He hates MAGA as much as we do and he speaks from his gut about it. We're so used to mealy-mouthed careerist Dems looking to siphon off mythical purple voters and he is just not that. He thinks our country is in trouble and those people are to blame. And he is right.

If making false statements was a criteria by which the Trump administration fired people, the White House would be empty, Cabinet meetings with zero attendees. This is an administration where making false statements (e.g. about the 2020 election) is a condition of appointment.

Remember how we passed bills that would bar ICE agents from state and local employment as well as ban California law enforcement from doing side jobs for ICE, but then @gavinnewsom.bsky.social vetoed both bills because he's stupid and has terrible political instincts?

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

It is all men. We all share and deserve the blame and label until it's no men. Because if none are stepping up as one voice to say no and none are stepping in to stop, when their friends and family even speak about assault even as "jokes" it's encouraging and enabling the behavior and complicite

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

The Republican Party was founded in Wisconsin, but there really is not a Wisconsin Republican Party any longer. When three people are paying for 90% of a gubernatorial campaign and 80% of legislative campaigns, you have a club, not a political party, owned and funded by billionaires.
