@ronrule So, I haven't used public safety or the library . I'd like a refund for that part of my taxes. Same idea. Equally ridiculous.

If you homeschool your kids, you should be exempt from the portion of your property taxes that goes to the local schools.

Name a player — not named Derek Jeter or Cal Ripken Jr. — that you respect the most for staying loyal to one team for their entire career. In an era of constant movement, those guys are rare. Who’s your pick? 👇⚾ Bonus points if you watched them their whole career.

When healthcare feels overwhelming, look for one concrete thing you can do. Right now, the Department of Education has opened a public comment period on a proposed rule that would remove nursing from the “professional degree” classification. That sounds technical. It isn’t. If this change goes through, nurses and advanced practice providers could lose access to certain federal loan programs that make advanced training financially possible. That affects who can afford to become a nurse practitioner. It affects who stays in the workforce. It affects access to care. As a reconstructive microsurgeon, I cannot care for the volume of women I serve without the nurses and nurse practitioners on my team. They are not assistants. They are licensed, credentialed professionals practicing at the highest level of their training. They are the backbone of American healthcare. If you care about access to safe, high quality care, this matters. The public comment period is open and closes on March 2nd. Here is how to leave a comment. It takes five minutes: 1. Go to regulations.gov 2. Type into search “reimagining and improving student education” 3. Click “Submit a Formal Comment” 4. Write a short statement. It can be simple. For example: “I support recognizing nursing as a professional degree. Limiting access to federal loan programs will worsen workforce shortages and reduce access to care.” 5. Enter your information and click submit You do not need to be a doctor or a nurse to comment. You just need to care. Small actions matter. Words matter. Please take a few minutes to support recognizing nursing for what it is: a profession.

@ZebMic @tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG Doesn't matter what the 5th year is, it's still M additional year of loans to pay off. University of Kansas tried something similar years ago and had to quit because future educators were choosing other schools .

@JRobbins_Math @tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG 5 years after school but concentrated on educ courses (not bachelor of something + only 1 year of bachelor of education).

If you were having dinner with Anita Archer tonight, what you ask her?

@ZebMic @tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG Who will be paying for that 5th year? Why would anyone pick education if it takes 5 years to begin to earn money?

@tetheredtoed1 @MrZachG 5 years all related to education (besides general disciplines like PE), intense depth starting at year 3. Exams each year. Practicum year 3. 4, 5 for 2 months with slow movement: observation, then Classroom Management, then actual teaching.

@matt_vanswol How are you going to work that out for people like nurses? It's not like a nurse can just leave the patients in the ER or ICU to take two hours off to vote

Outstanding thread

@leahfliter I can't explain it any better than this state rep. from Texas. The same arguments apply here in Kansas x.com/jamestalarico/… #ksleg #ksed

@Dewiz_45 @TroyDannen Ugh! Absolutely not.Stick with Adidas

Dear @TroyDannen Please drop Adidas and make Nebraska a Nike school! Sincerely, All of Husker Nation #GBR #Huskers

@jim_pillen Ummm .... clearly you haha a different definition of "late term" than the rest of the normal non right wing whackos. After this has passed, what is YOUR commitment to take care of those families? Maybe pay medical bills for those babies born with lethal anomalies?

Finally, I am proud beyond words that Nebraska is the first state in America to enshrine protections for the unborn in our Constitution. Nebraskans wisely rejected a radical fundamental right to late-term abortion. For the first time in history, pre-born babies in Nebraska have a floor of constitutional protection. We are a pro-life state, and our people proved it.

@jim_pillen So unfortunate for Nebraskans. Good thing I don't have to live there anymore!

Nebraska is a strong pro-life state, and protections for the unborn are now enshrined in our Constitution.

@TheRealXPac Hell is too good for someone like that

I hope the person who did this rots in hell.

@smc429 Kristi Noem is worthless piece of crap

Kristi Noem, today, said "any mom" would've killed a vicious dog like Cricket. No, sorry, Kristi. When you have a dog with issues, you either have them trained or find a new home for them. You don't take them out back and murder them like a barbarian. What the hell. Is she brain dead?
