TEA reviewing 180 complaints over educators’ Charlie Kirk assassination posts

Very insightful piece here. I appreciate Petrilli’s intellectual clarity.

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid:

Medicaid is a more cost-effective way to save lives than lots of other things the government pays for, like vehicle inspections or some cancer treatments. More from me + @sangerkatz on a big new Medicaid study: https://t.co/fQ7dl4PnmH

Trump 2.0 is likely to be bad for education reform, says Mike Petrilli. It's also possible the loss will encourage Democrats to fight for the center again, including by embracing sensible education reforms. Let’s give this possibility a hearing:

When Harris picked Governor Walz, some of the disability rights advocates in Minnesota I know there were thrilled.

Before he was picked as Kamala Harris' running mate, Tim Walz had done some important work on Medicaid and disability. AARP actually ranked Minnesota number one for long-term services and supports. It's one of the better states for home care. https://t.co/udjZKahtlM

ICYMI: @yourewrongabout and I did a whole episode about the anti-vaccine panic. I think with Robert F Kennedy Jr becoming HHS Secretary, it's fair to call it the most successful moral panic in recent years. https://t.co/a6AgCxPcEn

A 13-year-old with autism and an intellectual disability told a teacher his backpack would blow up, worried someone would confiscate his favorite stuffed bunny. Police arrested him and charged him with a felony. My latest with @PaigePfleger
