A Christian high school student in Kentucky was expelled after school administrators saw a photograph from her 15th birthday party in which she was wearing a rainbow sweater and smiling next to a rainbow birthday cake

“The WA Administration has been made aware of a recent picture, posted on social media, which demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs,” said the letter, signed Jan. 6 by Head of School Bruce Jacobson. “We made it clear that any further promotion, celebration, or any other actions and attitudes that are counter to Whitefield’s philosophy would not be tolerated. As a result, we regret to inform you that Kayla is being dismissed from the school immediately.”

He's a more honest than that, acknowledging he'd probably raise taxes on the middle class. Not nearly enough to pay for what he's proposing, but at least unlike Warren he's not lying about it entirely. His spending can't be remotely paid for by soaking the ultra rich or just the regular old rich.

Yeah but that's a little like saying "I'm going to ban abortion" or "I'm going to repeal the second amendment."

You ain't gonna do any of that, because you'll never, ever have the votes.

Then he can't do Medicare for All, either.

So why the chyron?

This was EXACTLY my wife and I's reaction. "Did they watch the same debate we did?"

Not many people know this, but Medicare-for-all is the only thing that costs money. Keeping a military presence in central Asia is actually free, thanks to a bunch of coupons the Pentagon cut out in the 70s.
