@JohnCornyn Correct. It's the Democrats. They've offered several clean bills, but Republicans have voted no.

There is one party working to reopen the government, fund our TSA agents, and bring democracy to the airport security line, and that’s Republicans.

Ending special, privileged security bypass for Congress at airports while TSA aren’t paid and everyone else has to wait in long lines ends today 🧵⬇️

@deplorablesport @PeteFiutak If you grew up in the south, you probably have heard of High Point. Now, a lot more people know about it.

@PeteFiutak 💯- who has heard of High Point?

There’s sports brutal, and there’s seeing your team get knocked out of the NCAA Tournament early Thursday to a school that sounds like a dispensary next to the Applebees

@beefyfridgers Love our sunsets in San Diego.

San Diego is in fact the utopia everyone makes it out to be

Spent 4 days in California and I finally understand why yall act like #that

@beefyfridgers Love our sunsets in San Diego.

@ECKilpatrick @Zblackerby Bruce Pearl was a proven coach, yet his first 2 seasons at Auburn were losing seasons. Steven pulled off a winning season with the 5th most difficult schedule.

@Zblackerby When we can fire Steven Pearl.

Auburn was left out of the NCAA Tournament. What should the biggest goal be this offseason?

@DHSgov Republicans blocked the funding bill. They are to blame.

The Democrats’ DHS shutdown has forced TSA employees to work without pay three times in nearly six months, and now agents are leaving the force—with more than 300 agents quitting since the start of the shutdown. It’s time for Democrats to end these political games, pay our TSA officers, and reopen DHS.

@Starbucks Just saw the New Starbucks Rewards. Getting only 1.2 stars per order? That's a disappointment. Now, it will take almost twice as long to get a free drink. You're making @DutchBros coffee look good at 3 points per dollar spent.

@JoshMalina Plain and simple. Vile is correct.

This is vile.

@magills_ If it's so easy, go get your credential and teach in a school.

I’ve been homeschooling my oldest for the past two weeks and have come to the conclusion that either I am an incredibly gifted teacher OR that teaching is the easiest job in the world.

@John_Culotta1 @washghost1 Research has shown that homework at the elementary level is not effective.

@washghost1 Homework does reinforce the lesson and teaches responsibility, so not sure if it's not more about her own career dissatisfaction.

I like this teacher

@templegirl96 @BuddyNoLove I'd like to see evidence of the additional breaks. Schools are back to the same schedules as before covid.

@BuddyNoLove Teachers have built in 3-4 day work weeks every week since the pandemic. In blue states they fought against in person school as long as possible and since then have added more breaks, more holidays and more professional days off. 5 day week is a rare thing. Maryland

Maybe it’s because I’m not a parent and Idk anything about school schedules, but why does it feel like kids always have a break from school?!

@drghadasasa That's awesome.

Ten years ago, my aunt went to renew her passport in Canada, where she was told she couldn't list "Palestine" as her place of birth. The only other options they gave her were "West Bank," "Israel," & "Jordan." She refused to pick from them so the employee called their managers.1/

@ShaneClaiborne Wow, that is really telling.

@GLBilingualKids @misterholmes25 @D45North Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I am unable to help as I retired at the end of last school year.

@misterholmes25 @rickfro @D45North Hi! 👋 I’m a teacher from Mexico (Mexico City – GMT-6) 🇲🇽 Would your group be available for a Mystery Skype this Friday, Jan 30? My students are 9–12 years old and we’re available all morning 😊

“Does your state end in a vowel? Last week we connected with @rickfro’s 5th graders in SanDiego California for our first #MysteryZoom of the school year! One state down, 49 to go! @D45North #mysteryskype

@cornishwatkins Those not in the classroom have no idea how many students are in our thoughts outside of school hours. Teachers can't just turn that off.

@JayneZirkle @SpeakerJohnson @GavinNewsom Hmmm, destroyed? Under Newsome, the economy has moved from 5th to 4th largest in the world. It goes back and forth between 4 and 5 depending on the value of Japan's currency.

@SpeakerJohnson @GavinNewsom Newsom has destroyed CA

The company U-Haul just released its yearly report showing more people are leaving California than ANY OTHER STATE - for the 6th year in a row. It’s EASY to see why. California has the highest state income tax in America — 13.3% — and now Democrats like @GavinNewsom are blocking President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts, denying workers real money back in their pockets. Workers are leaving high taxes behind — and red states are welcoming them with open arms. atr.org/u-haul-report-…

@JacquiPearl5 @AUJungle They fought hard and played well.

Tough start to SEC play. But I know the @AUJungle will help us bounce back on Tuesday. Stay positive, fam. This team, these players, this staff, deserve our everything.

@CollegeFBonX Indiana

Who are you cheering for to win the college football playoffs at this point?

@AUHistoryToday I was at that Sugarbowl game. So disappointed with the rankings.

1984 - In the 50th Sugar Bowl, #3 Auburn defeated #8 Michigan 9-7 on the heels of a 19-yard Al Del Greco field goal, the final of his career. The Tigers were jumped by Miami and were not named national champions despite an 11-1 record. #WarEagle #AUHistory

@DrP_Principal I remember those well. Our high school student area was a designated outside area near the parking lot. I hated going thaybway to C wing of my school.

If You Went to Public School in the Late 1970s or 1980s… You Survived This “10 things that were totally normal back then, that would absolutely never fly today” 1. Student AND Teacher Smoking Lounges Yes. Smoking lounges. For students. And teachers. “Can I bum a light?” was something you heard before homeroom (teacher to student or student to teacher). Ashtrays everywhere (many made in art or shop class). Nobody blinked. 2. The Ditto Machine Smell Worksheets came out warm, purple, and slightly damp. The first thing everyone did was inhale. That smell still lives rent-free in our brains. 3. Dodgeball With Zero Mercy This wasn’t friendly dodgeball. This was survival dodgeball. Athletes hunted. Everyone else learned fear and strategy. Teachers watched like this was character development. 4. Red Rover “Red Rover, Red Rover, send the smallest kid right over.” Kids locked arms. Someone flew. Someone cried. No ice packs. No paperwork. No phone calls home. Just recess. 5. Games With Wildly Violent Names “Kill the Carrier” “Bombardment” No one questioned the language or the brutality. You lined up and threw as hard as possible and prayed that you would survive. 6. Community Urinals No stalls. No dividers. Just a long porcelain trough. Privacy was not a concept. Eye contact avoidance became a life skill. Urine spray and mist everywhere. 7. Cafeteria Meals That Defied Nutrition (5,000 calorie delicacy) Square pizza. Mystery meat. Chocolate milk every day. Cake slabs for dessert. Calories unknown. Portions massive. Lunch ladies served food like they were fueling farmhands. “Want seconds?” was the nutrition plan. 8. Calling Out Grades Aloud Teachers didn’t quietly return tests. They announced grades. Out loud. With facial expressions and attitude. 9. Writing Names on the Board as Punishment Misbehave and your name went on the board. Then came the check marks. Circles. Underlines. Everyone watched your disciplinary arc unfold in real time. Shame was motivational (or was it). 10. Notes Sent Home With No Filter “Doesn’t apply himself.” “Talks too much.” “Is a distraction.” “Won’t be college material.” Written in red pen. Sent straight home. No context. No cushioning. If you remember these… You’re not old. You’re experienced. Which ones resonate? What did we miss?
