Based on all the teacher's I've known, they do not get enough credit or pay for the amazing things they do.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) @repstansbury.bsky.social · 3d

Happy World Teacher Day! Today, we honor the incredible educators who nurture young minds and shape their future.

They show up every day for our kids, so we must show up for them. That means fighting for fair pay, safe schools, and the resources every classroom needs to thrive.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

I find myself doing the same thing. It's helpful to think of the day after a night of limited sleep as actually a sick day, and be glad for what I could get done.
