Those states do fund vouchers so children can be sent to private (often racially segregated) schools. Trump has made the DOE and the DOJ powerless to do anything about this growing trend. #ProPublica

The DHS propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown is peak hypocrisy from the party that fired federal workers and now threatens to fire more. They gut paychecks, spread lies, and call it freedom. It’s political thuggery. Call it out.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

It would be very good if investigative journalists would dig into JPL's stated reason for these layoffs and the likely consequences for JPL's ongoing projects.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

What's going on at CBS News?

1. This AM we learned Bari Weiss sent an email to CBS News staff asking them to submit a memo explaining how they spend their time and what’s working/not working.

Now, the Writers Guild, the union which reps some CBS News staff, says it has sent a demand to CBS to get more info about Bari’s request
Dear Guild Members: We are aware that Bari Weiss sent an email asking CBS employees to provide information about their jobs and feedback about CBS News. Many of you have expressed concern to us about the purpose of the email, and we share those concerns. That is why we sent the company an immediate demand to provide information about the email by Monday. (Information request copied below.) We suggest that you refrain from responding until we are able to share the information that we receive so that you can make an informed decision by the Tuesday deadline. Solidarity, Michael Isaac, Director of Broadcast/Cable/Streaming News Brandon West, Field Representative Sophie Martin, Field Representative Dana Trentalange, Field Representative

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Sure was worth it to pull Kirby to put in the lefty huh?
forbesandshea.bsky.social
Forbes & Shea @forbesandshea.bsky.social · 5d
They are STILL talking about pulling him at Carpenter. The rest of the Tigers CANNOT TOUCH KIRBY and he's below pitch count average. Walk Carpenter in the 6th and leave Kirby in until he shows you decline. Do not let one hitter dictate a panic call to the pen.

Forbes & Shea @forbesandshea.bsky.social · 5d
Wow is the booth stupid. Kirby has allowed 2 hits to 1 guy and no walks. You do NOT pull him if he simply allows a baserunner. Just walk Carpenter if you need to.
