A new era in educational freedom. Don't let the skeptics and Eeyores tell you otherwise. This is a big, beautiful program and anyone in favor of school choice should support and work to make implementation a success. Thanks @SchoolChoiceNow and allies!

[Tommy Schultz 🇺🇸 @Tommy_USA]

SCHOOL CHOICE details in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Absolutely historic day for the education freedom movement:

- Everyone in America can donate $1,700 to a scholarship group (501c3 charity) for a 100% federal income tax credit. 

- No annual aggregate tax credit cap.

- Permanent law, no sunset.

- Scholarship recipients must be under 300% of area median income (a HUD formula, covering 85-90% of families).

- Governors in each state must designate which scholarship groups can receive funds.

- Scholarship groups can cover any of the costs here:

@jaycost Follow-up for you Jay - Which election with Clay winning changes the trajectory of US the most?

And, similar question for William Jennings Bryan - which win would have been the most impactful/difference making?

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

Always explained this to my students. The science teacher was cooler though, and he liked metric, so I usually didn't get converts.

Metric was made up by the French Revolutionaries, it is not grounded in reality, and it's not useful to real life.

[Kyle Mann @The_Kyle_Mann]

Hot take: the metric system sucks for everything except weird math nerds and dudes measuring sciencey liquids in beakers.

If I'm telling someone how far it is to the Texas Roadhouse, I want to say "about 3 miles" not "4.82 kilowillies" or whatever the dumb Europeans say.

If I'm measuring someone's height, it's 6 and a half feet (or about 1 Kobe), not 198.12241241231 centimeters or something stupid like that.

Real measurements for real everyday life. That's what the Imperial system is.

If you don't like it, you can leave. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This week the U.S. Treasury gave a good deal of direction for how the EFTC will operate in 2027. Governors have plenty of information to opt-in and allow scholarship orgs to develop and prep to support students. @Tommy_USA @schoolchoicenow @wsj

It’s 1991 and you’ve just popped the TMNT VHS into the VCR and this comes on:

@ScottBradyPA @WHFraudTF @VP @AFergusonFTC Congrats, and thank you for your service!

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

A smart decision! It's a win-win-win program for parents, donors, and all educators. The dominoes are starting - 50 states by January 1, 2027! #EFTC

[Tommy Schultz 🇺🇸 @Tommy_USA]

BREAKING: New York Governor Hochul says she will opt in to the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit!

She will be the 2nd Democratic governor to do so, after Colorado Governor Polis.

School choice is coming to New York!

[PA House Republicans 🇺🇸 @PAHouseGOP]

🚨 GOVERNOR SHAPIRO: PA is waiting on YOU. 🚨

The federal EITC program offers PA up to $1 BILLION in scholarship funding at zero cost to the state.

Every child is different and families deserve the ability to choose the educational environment that meets their unique needs.

@ChrisForPA @BernieSanders @bpforcongress Chris, hope the 2028 Senate campaign kick-off goes well. Embarrassing typo in your poster spelling your buddy's name wrong.

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

@rachelbovard The demands following the third assassination attempt against my President are shaping up to be a) funding the Senate could have gotten through doing their jobs, and b) a ballroom the President is already building but a lone judge "stopped"

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

The Education Freedom Tax Credit is a win-win, empowering parents with more choices while costing taxpayers nothing.

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

@FBillMcMorris Monitoring this situation all weekend. Keep us updated!

@pegobry_en ...Rapture and Final Judgment ensues.

[Catholic Arena @CatholicArena]

The famous Mount Melleray Abbey in Ireland was slated for closure last year

Now, Ave Maria University is planning to use the famous monastery as a campus, keeping it open for Catholic purposes

Ave Maria was founded by Tom Monaghan, who created Domino's Pizza

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

@Doug_Lemov @rpondiscio This was my guess. So many performative, self-aggrandizing actions by the teacher that mislead society about good pedagogy.

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

Encouraging story! Glad they ended up at such a well-named school ;)

Here’s the latest example of a family moving to Florida for better schools & #schoolchoice: The Mickelsons from Minnesota.

Toby & Nicole Mickelson had a number of reasons for wanting to leave the Gopher State, but they weren’t sure where to go.

Then a friend in FL posted on facebook about the state’s choice scholarships, which the Legislature & @GovRonDeSantis made available to every single student, beginning in 2023.

Nicole said, “Can you believe this even exists?”

Toby said, “Are you kidding me?”

At that point, Nicole told me, Florida “was a shoo in.”

Now the Mickelsons are proud Floridians, with four children at the Donahue Academy, a classical Catholic school like the one they attended back in Minnesota.

This is such important work. America stands for truth, is again becoming a force for goodness, and needs to be beautified!

[Justin Shubow @JustinShubow]

.@USDOT Secretary @SecDuffy has appointed me chairman of the new, first-of-its kind Beautifying Transportation Infrastructure Council.

The Council will advise the Secretary on the aesthetics of highways, bridges, and train stations, among others. The creation of the Council aligns with Trump's Executive Order "Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again."

It is a true honor to be appointed to the Council. From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Merritt Parkway, from Dulles Airport to Cincinnati Union Terminal, America has constructed some of the most aesthetically pleasing infrastructure in the world. Our country did it before, and we can do it again.

Beauty in design must not be an afterthought, dismissed as an alleged luxury or anachronism in the name of pure functionalism. Yet for decades far too much of our built environment has been soulless and ugly.

Harmony with the natural and historic landscape matters, as does urban revitalization. People want to live, work, and travel in lovable, inspiring places. I look forward to working with the Council in providing guidance on the aesthetics of design.

In my tween and teen years I got into Dilbert, reading a few of the anthologies over and over. Despite little understanding at that age of white-collar office work, I could share in laughing along with @ScottAdamsSays insights on human nature.

As I came across Scott's work in the last decade w/r/t politics, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because his Dilbert comic was so smart. I'm glad I did because I have learned lessons from him and his perspective.

I'm heartened to hear of his profession of faith near the end. May he rest in peace.

[Greg Dolan @GregFDolan]

@nedryun What a year 1776 was! We always think of the past moving slowly, but 1776 was jam packed.

Looking forward, it feels like President Trump is setting us up for a monumental year that could go down in the pantheon of American years. Out of the gate strong so far!
