She must be feeling unappreciated because she is on a roll today... The thing I am most surprised at about concerning this post is that she was actually AT a public library.

DC school email on Fri:
Congratulations on the completion of the first week of school!
I wanted to share a quick update before the weekend. A parent called to let us know that the NG is currently present on H Street between 4th and 8th. Just [keeping everyone] aware as you head home today.

Think Trump withholding $7 million in DOE funding for schools is bad for you locally? The House is still holding $1.1 billion of DC's budget hostage (DC tax $, not fed $). DC is now losing budget monies allocated for education plus 20% of the DOE money they were allocated.

I'm playing ostrich right now- briefly sticking my head in the sand on politics/policy. My kinders are writing monologues "tricking" their audience into believing kitchen utensils are alive. Have some fun and take a minute, like they are, to think what these items might say about their day. #EduSky

The House is STILL holding DC's budget hostage. The CR treats DC as a federal agency and, mid-spending year, reverted the District to 2024 budget levels. DC faces $1B in cuts across services. This is DC taxpayer $ (NO fed $).
Please call your reps or the Speaker- he's the one holding up the vote.

Wasn't the promise that we would be respected internationally again part of FOTUS's platform? From the Polity Project

If my school waits for DCPS to call a 2-hour delay (or snow day,) and DCPS waits on the federal government... and OPM is the one who makes the decision for the federal government, does that mean we will never get a snow day or 2-hour delay ever again? #EduSky

Teachers: Erring on the side of caution, now is the time to ask your admin if they have a plan in place for students whose parents may get picked up by ICE while at work. If Trump follows through on his rhetoric, our students still need a safe place to go at the end of the day. #EduSky

It seems Musk, Trump, and Trump. Jr. are inferring that the fires are spreading because there isn't enough white supremacy.

McGillicutty is finished- aside from a hair trim. (Well, I'm pretty sure he's McGillicutty... He might be Murgatroid. I'm not sure yet. Votes accepted.)
