Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

"Minutes" with a special educator are not always minutes of intervention. Coteaching isn't intervention. General push in help isn't intervention. These are "luxury goods." Intervention is a basic necessity!

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.
The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

As we move into the holidays, please remember: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids, talking about books, making books central to everything you do. Never stop changing their lives! #literacy #EduSky #books

Each year, more than 4,000 children & teens are shot and killed, & more than 17,000 are shot & wounded. Homicides account for roughly 6 in 10 gun deaths among children, & gun suicides are on the rise—a public health crisis that communities & elected officials can prevent.
