Fall 2023 data shows school district staff gave whopping approval ratings for 50 AEA programs and services: 46 soared above 90 percent, meeting or exceeding expectations, and four (4) rocked approval ratings above 80 percent, still shining bright!

When the naming of a new Trump special counsel is just an excuse for you to create another podcast in his name make no mistake you are a grifter profiting every day off the choreographed illusion of "fighting Trump"

We need a loss and damage finance facility. We need climate justice. We need action. Time is running out, which is why decision makers need to step up at #COP27 #GenerateAction ⏰ @CYPavilion

Our reporting at @NPR has found no substantial link between #fentanyl smuggling and immigration. Overwhelming majority of smuggling from Mexico comes through legal ports of entry and does not involve undocumented migrants. Republican politicians continue making this false claim.

A vote for Trump is a vote for: 1 Children in cages 2 Bragging about sexual assault 3 Destroying the environment 4 200,000 dead from #COVID19 5 Illegal surgeries on immigrant women 6 Tear gassing peaceful protesters 7 Rampant police abuse of Black Americans 8 Sociopaths & cults

A vote for Republicans is a vote for safe communities, great jobs, and a limitless future for ALL Americans. Instead of letting Washington change us, despite all that we have been through, we are changing Washington! vote.donaldjtrump.com

No, Mr. President, asking foreign leaders to investigate your political opponents is not done all the time. And it isn't right.

As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time. This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!

They're from America, and you're right about one thing: Currently their government is a complete and total catastrophe.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to “Make America Great Again” has always been about making America white again. Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power.

"Superstorms know no party boundary," says @JimLangevin. "Climate change is real. It is affecting the military. These are not things you get a choice to believe in or not believe in," adds Republican @RepMattGaetz. See more in this @rollcall video: rollcall.com/news/video/brac…
