"State law in Arkansas doesn’t require much to open a private school, nothing about teacher skills or what kids learn. But it does require that all schools display an American flag, and we wanted to follow the rules." Unbelievable story. Also, immediately ordering the ProPublica Academy pencils.

Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.
