Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse.
He wants his depo tape made public - no again.
The second strike boat video? - nope.
Epstein files law complied with? - not today.
Vote on ACA? - maybe next year.
Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

I feel awful for our expert civil servants who faithfully served our country only to be fired by unqualified, uncaring, irresponsible men who couldn't even make it one year doing government work.

The market lie at the heart of public education policy
Treating public schools as competitors in an education marketplace shifts blame downward, obscures chronic underfunding and corrodes the very purpose of public education.
