The TV Networks (specifically Fox and ABC) are refusing to run this ad for @SavingCollSprts today during the games.

No good reason given as to why - just ignoring us or telling us to contact their attorneys. The General Council for one major network told me it was a “business decision”. This was AFTER we’d sent them a large wire to pay for the ads!

Why would the networks want to silence a legitimate debate around an issue that affects hundreds of thousands of kids and is existentially threatening to women’s sports and Olympic sports? What is the “business reason” that overrides the benefit and enjoyment that college sports provide to tens of millions of Americans?

What are they hiding??

If there was ever a question that money, control, and greed are being prioritized over student athletes, fans, and communities…Here you go!!

We all knew that the current situation in college sports seemed very slimy and was driven by people who couldn’t care less about the common good…. But we had no idea how bad it truly is!!

It’s become obvious…We have to drain the swamp that College Sports have become!!

This fight isn’t about me, and it certainly isn’t about TV ads - it’s much bigger. It’s about doing what is right and necessary to save a great American institution. I promise that I won’t stop fighting until we are successful in solving this problem, and I know I can count on many of you to join me!

My statement on the recent proposal to change the IPERS system.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

One of the biggest issues in education…

The people that make decisions for what is best for students are NOT teachers.
Nor are teachers even asked.

And neither are students/parents.

Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

LOVE THIS! Rep. Eric Swalwell just released this new ad SLAMMING Donald Trump and it’s fantastic. Trump should be nowhere near the Oval Office!

Our office has discovered the contract with Odyssey to administer ESAs doubled in cost to taxpayers just a few months after being signed, with no reason being provided. Read it:

One of the most underrated childhood games. Some called it “pickle,” some called it “running bases,” some called it “hot box.” We called it “rundown” in my neighborhood. Whatever you called it, it was fun as hell.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

For those who can't imagine the death of American democracy, we imagined it for you. Watch here.

Little late on this, but Reggie Jackson said one of the most raw and honest things I’ve ever seen on a baseball broadcasts. Worth the listen

[Iowa State Track & XC @CycloneTrackXC]

WHAT A FINISH.

GABLE! Gable works his way from fifth to third out of the final water jump to take down his own school record with 8:25.92 in the 3,000m steeplechase final! It's his second time under the automatic U.S. Olympic Trials standard.

When he loses an election, he shouts “Rigged election!

When he loses a jury verdict, he shouts “Rigged ruling!”

He’s everything you teach your children not to be. He’s the world’s biggest sore loser.

You can believe right-wing think tanks that claim the opposite, so they can ram vouchers through skeptical legislatures.

Or you can look at what actually happens in the states when vouchers come to town.

Vouchers are a nightmare for state budgets.
