Straight party voting especially in rural areas has been devastating for local level candidates in the Democrat Party. Tip O’Neil used to tout the term, “all politic is local”. Now it seems that everything is driven by the national politics. Social media and 24/7 News has helped drive this.

Lots of educators concerned about what education is going to look like with the new Sec of Education. Especially lots of concerns with special education.

Really sad to see Sherrod Brown leave the Senate. He was truly someone who put his constituents over party. He is being replaced by Bernie Moreno whose goal will be to carry out DT’s agenda. I hope Sherrod runs again in 2026!

The Democrat Party has to find a way to talk to rural voters and the “fly over” states.

@mika-brzezinski.bsky.social thanks to you and Joe for starting dialogue with the President Elect. We have to have more conversations.

Thinks he can just “de-fund” a public school?

Linda McMahon will be a continued disaster for public education.

President -Elect Trump’s early cabinet picks will test the GOP Senators loyalty quickly. Goetz backfired, or was it a ploy to get other picks confirmed?

It’s so refreshing to hear @andybeshear.bsky.social support public education. To attract and retain great educators, state leaders should follow his lead. 👏

The elected officials who are working hard to destroy public ed should have to hold 2 forums/ yr to face communities.

Tell:
1) Annual voucher $ loss per district.
2) Why no citizen-led ballot initiative regarding vouchers
3)Legislator’s own explanation of vouchers
4)Accurate academic impact
