NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

The reporting experiment demonstrates how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. No credentials or background checks required.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

Leaving it until after the midterms was intended to shield them during the election. It isn't working. It's a "don't throw me in that Briar Patch" moment for the Democrats. Any effort to use it against them will backfire double.

Even farmers who were already promised funds from the REAP program may never get them under the Trump admin’s new restrictions. Some are suing.

Really can’t get over the fact that in the Supreme Court’s mail-in ballots case, Sam Alito’s official position is “I know this rule would disenfranchise millions, and I know the law says I’m supposed to consider that fact, but I don’t care and won’t do it”

A microcosm of my frustration with 🇺🇸 political media for years now. The AfD in 🇩🇪 is, if anything, <less> far right & authoritarian than the GOP, but neither @nytimes.com nor any other major media outlet regularly calls them a far right party. But as soon as it’s 🇩🇪, right in the headline. Every time.

I noticed that it wasn't the far left people who made this about race. That is done by the anti left to smear people on the left. You make yourself the enemy of the left by catering to fascists and genociders.
"Catering to enemies" refers to the act of accommodating, pleasing, or yielding to the demands, desires, or comfort of people who oppose you, dislike you, or actively wish you harm.Depending on the context, this phrase can carry a few different meanings:1. Political or Strategic CompromiseIn leadership, politics, or business, it describes a situation where a person or organization appeases their rivals or critics instead of supporting their loyal allies.

The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 marked a significant shift, allowing for-profit companies to enter the healthcare market, which has since become the predominant model in the industry. Profit is the wrong incentive for a sacred industry such as healthcare.
