THE 211: @mkhammer explains how Microsoft is giving @rweingarten a say over the AI your child uses in the classroom.
Union bosses have spent years tightening their grip on education. Now they’re eyeing the code, too.
.@CTULocal1 spent more on running its own operations than on representing teachers, while pouring nearly $2.6 million into politics. Union leaders have some explaining to do about where members’ dues are going.
Follow the paper trail to uncover what @CTULocal1’s spending reveals about its priorities with @illinoispolicy:

Yale students just delivered a reality check to public sector unions, voting 35-25 in favor of a resolution to ban them after a debate over who actually benefits from the union machine. Spoiler: it’s not the taxpayer.
See how @AaronWithe made the case for taxpayers and challenged the union status quo in the @realDailyWire: dailywire.com/news/my-debate…
CA taxpayers shouldn’t be collateral damage in a labor dispute. @SEIU Local 1000’s planned Oct. 21 strike threatens the very services residents rely on.

Michael Lewis spent a whole book on six government employees. Great storytelling. But he never asks why union contracts make stalling this easy or why the system protects it.

.@rweingarten took home a $546K paycheck while AFT reported $5.9M in contributions, gifts, and grants. That included $250K to the Center for American Progress and $75K to the Clinton Foundation.
Union bosses sure have plenty of causes to fund, except focusing on their members. @DailySignal dailysignal.com/2026/10/06/a…
Michael Lewis tells a good story, but he’s leaving out the real problem.
The real Blockers aren’t the six rebels. They're union contracts (CBAs) and a bureaucracy that makes stalling the default, and taxpayers foot the bill.
A book that celebrates this without examining why the system shields them tells only half the story.
“What they said they were doing was so different than what they actually did,” says Michael Lewis of DOGE, the topic of his latest book, “Blockers.” “It was never going to achieve what they said it was going to achieve.” cnb.cx/3TKj4qP
.@rweingarten gets the paycheck. Teachers get the bill. Under her leadership, @AFTunion has turned members’ dues into fuel for a political operation far beyond the classroom.
Imagine representing illegal immigrants more than your own members. Do better, @rweingarten.
Instead of prioritizing tools that could cut the time nurses spend on documentation, union bosses are more focused on protecting their power and political spending.
Who benefits when union priorities shift from members to politics? THE 211 breaks it down. pluac.com/the-211
Behind the dues, deals, and political spending is a public-sector union machine built on power.
THE 211 exposes how it works:

.@rweingarten and @BeckyPringle should focus more on making sure students get the education they deserve than on giving far-left speeches about “the power of the people.”
🎥 @FoxNews
The nation's largest nurses' union took to the streets to protest technology that cuts paperwork and puts nurses back at the bedside.
Instead of embracing tools that make their members' jobs easier, union bosses are using members' dues to push their own political agenda.
This is a common theme among public sector union bosses.
