This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.
Don Wilson@drwconvexity

@RoKhanna I am highly confident society will derive greater benefit if that capital is in Elon’s hands than in the hands of the government.

@italianstalions @end3of6days9 We are starting the hybrid schooling this year and are excited about it. It's a great structure in my opinion. More people should try it.

@end3of6days9 Homeschooled from K-Grade 4 - my son is now going to be a Jr. in high school. He started attending a hybrid school in 5th, he goes 2x a week and does the rest at home. There are clubs, dances, he plays basketball and baseball. He's disciplined and more than prepared for college.

This homeschool mom was asked what her kids are “missing out on” by not going to traditional school… and her answer flips the whole conversation. At 10:37 on a Monday morning, one daughter is still sleeping in, the other is calmly doing schoolwork, and there’s zero rush for the bus or stress about exams. She says her kids are missing out on lockdowns, homework, bullying, fluorescent lights, bells, and that prison-like environment where kids are controlled and lined up by age. Instead, they have peaceful mornings, full parental control over what they learn, and real socialization through neighborhood friends, sports, and community — not just sitting in a classroom all day. With over 3.4 million kids now being homeschooled in the U.S. (about 6% of school-age children), more families are seeing the benefits. Research shows homeschooled students typically score 15–25 percentile points higher on standardized tests, and the vast majority of studies find they’re better adjusted socially and emotionally. Sometimes what looks like “missing out” is actually the best decision for your family. What do you think — could homeschooling be a smarter path for more kids these days?

@Watcher3552028 @Philip_Sarnecki Anyone voting for Sarnecki doesn't understand KS politics and will be disappointed in how much doesn't get accomplished if he wins. Until you get rid of the RINOs in rural Kansas you need a leader that can work across the isle. Yes that means working with RINOs & Dems.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@WeThePeopleKS What a lot of people on here don't understand is that unless more MAGA candidates run for office in rural KS and unseat the state reps and state senators out there it won't matter who you elect and how MAGA they are. The rural RHINOs are the problem... not Masterson

@PeteMundo @SaveStandard This is such a dumb argument. More daylight later in the day gives kids more time in the sun which is better for their health. See... I can make it about kids also.

Florida golf lobby pushing HARD for a terrible policy. Permanent standard time is the way. You want kids going to school in the dark and the sun rising at nearly 9am for much of the country in the winter? So some retirees can golf longer in Florida? NO! @SaveStandard
Rick Scott@SenRickScott

This is excellent news! I look forward to FINALLY passing my Sunshine Protection Act out of the Senate and making this commonsense policy a reality for the American people.

In Kansas, public schools receive about $20,000 per student. A Kansas teacher (making an average salary of $60,000) could teach 4 kids in their home and make more money. Your districts prioritize admin salaries, not teachers. Go to school board meetings. Run for board positions.
Robert Pondiscio@rpondiscio

I became a school choice guy the day I found out my salary as a South Bronx public school teacher was less than NYC paid to educate just two of the kids in my classroom. "Give me six of them. I'll teach them in my apartment for the same price, lunch included," I remember thinking. "And if a kid doesn't pass the state tests, no charge."

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

Chaos at Grand Central 4-5-6: Machete maniac slaughters three elderly riders in broad daylight. Bodycam drops the horror—Anthony Griffin, 44, screaming “I am Lucifer,” hacks an 84-year-old man’s face open, splits a 65-year-old’s skull, and slashes a 70-year-old woman. Blood everywhere on the crowded platform. Cops roll up, scream 20+ times for him to drop the blade. He charges them instead. Bang—two shots, Griffin drops dead. While city officials brag “crime is down,” New Yorkers are getting chopped up by machete-wielding demons in the middle of morning rush hour. This is the reality they’re hiding.

The House just voted against banning soda from SNAP. Why should the government fund your soda purchases? If SNAP recipients want to buy sugary drinks, they can do it on their own dime, not on the backs of a taxpayer-funded nutrition program.

@BarackObama Can we all agree that it’s racist to draw congressional maps based solely on skin color? Can we also agree that eradicating race-based maps is a good thing? By the way, Utah’s only black member of Congress is being replaced by a white man because democrats drew new maps.

Barack Obama@BarackObama·
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
