Bill voted to confirm RFK because he was afraid of being primaried by yahoos for going against Trump. So he fell in line. He is getting primaried by yahoos anyway. One of America's most hapless oafs.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?
CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

In the weeds takeaways:
-Five schools joined the A-list
-Most city schools earned a C
-A lot of city schools earned an A in growth - student growth year-over-year. But many earned an F in assessment - the state test scores. That means students are progressing, but still below grade level.

Walking the dog and came across a black suburban no plates windows blacked out and engine on idle. According to neighbors they have been cruising the area. Pritchard Place and Cambronne #neworleans they were parked there for at least an hour. Maybe they got sick of me walking past them. Now gone

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

*Oh good another take about how reader-funded journalism can't survive*
Is it from a writer?
1000% of the time the answer is yes.
Why are writers so dead set on killing this model, one might ask? You don't want to be reader-funded? Fine. Stop trying to take down your colleagues. It's getting old
