There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Looking for Novavax???
Several CVS locations in Northwest Arkansas have received two boxes (about 10 doses is my understanding) of the Novavax Covid vaccine: Nuvaxovid. It is NOT LISTED on their website. You must call to confirm they have it before you go. Get ‘em while they’re cold!

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays

A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.
