oh sorry, i must've missed that.

Mike Turzai is the current House Speaker and is a HUGE proponent of charter schools. Cyber charter schools receive an undue amount of money per child from the school district where they reside. For years there has been a push to try to rein that in and reform them and also go through the books of the cyber charters. There was finally momentum on the local level for this when the pandemic happened. Turzai sent a letter to the Wolf administration demanding a plan to try to open the schools and to basically produce one right now. Many public schools were not prepared with laptops/online learning/etc on the massive scale needed for a shakeup in education like this and it will take some time to prepare. He knows this and is using it as a way to push cyber charters and will probably introduce legislation that would try to make it even easier for kids to switch to cyber charters for the fall, which would sap the school districts of even more funding in a time when they are seeing their funds dip already due to the pandemic.

The goal to demand a plan ASAP is to present a counter plan ahead of time and set the tone where cyber charters become a valid option for all children instead of just the few children they actually help. Many larger districts have already created cyber schools that keep the funds internally and keep kids integrated with the district learning model but they weren't able to scale up quick enough. He wants to cut that off at the knees and not let this crisis go to waste as one of his last big things as Speaker.

I fully support this idea.


Did the rock postulate about running for president at one point? Or maybe he was being drafted by the masses?


He was just being drafted by the masses. Ventura running would definitely take a chunk of crazies away from Trump.


Would take a lot away from Biden, too, IMO

Nothing - Warszawa admitted he just posts articles to play devil's advocate and then adds a snippy comment to the end of it. It's another part of one of the board's better, and more underrated, acts.


In this case I actually disagree with the premise. I would like the party to name a VP candidate who is the most qualified


The article isn’t arguing a black female candidate for token’s sake. It is arguing that the most reliable demographic for Democrats is black women. The VP slot should be about winning the election, not necessarily strictly “most qualified.” There are choices that can end up biting you in the butt (see: Palin) but in my opinion all of the candidates listed in the article are at least more politically adept than Sarah Palin and would kill in a debate against Pence.

Breaking via NYT: Trump administration officials are telling members of the coronavirus task force that the White House plans to wind down the operation and it's not clear whether any other group might replace it.

@kylegriffin1
Breaking on @MSNBC: NBC News confirms Trump's coronavius taskforce is in the early stages of winding down, according to two people familiar with the matter. The meetings in the Situation Room have been shorter and they no longer meet every day.

Trump says Fauci was blocked from coronavirus testimony because of ‘haters’ in the House

McDaniel says that Nancy Pelosi has no respect for her role an oversight

I’d say it sounds like an impeachable offense but, nothing is.

Since it's the most transparent presidency ever I think they should try honesty. Wegonfya

Update:

Supreme Court spokesperson reports that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was treated for benign gall bladder condition today at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Ginsburg is resting comfortably, plans to participate in tomorrow's oral arguments remotely by telephone from the hospital.
