Some districts spend more money checking if a child "deserves" a meal than they would just feeding every student.

Universal school meals are about more than compassion, they're about common-sense administration that saves taxpayers money.

Denying medical assistance is unacceptable in any circumstances.

Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organizations from providing services in #Gaza and the #WestBank, #Palestine.

A look at how Trump-era work requirements could impact people who receive public benefits
The Trump administration made work requirements for low-income people receiving government assistance a priority in 2025.

'"As usual, union members are more concerned about imagined grievances and silly political fights than the abysmal test scores of our nation’s students,"'

The separation of church and state is far more than a "silly political fight." Also that flag has been co-opted by Nazis so...

The flag, which depicts a pine tree and the words "An Appeal to Heaven," was seen hanging outside the office of a top Education Department official.

Last year I was wait-listed for an affordable apartment. I already found an apartment by the time I received a notice of unit availability last month.. for $1200/month. That is $100 more than my non "affordable housing" apartment.

The possibility of being shot is the same danger every kid in the US faces just going to school everyday. At least officers sign up for it.
