Great news! Congress is proposing a bill for public school teachers that will mandate starting base salaries of $60,000, plus a $50,000 signing bonus, overtime pay of 25% of their base salary, and student loan forgiveness of up to $60,000!
Just kidding. That’s the federally mandated compensation package for an ICE agent.

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
A new investigation reveals Republican officials in Georgia covered up a massive forever chemical leak for nearly 20 years.
The state ignored warnings of "staggeringly high" PFAS levels in drinking water in 2008, 2023, 2016, and 2019, refusing to warn the public or punish the companies responsible.
The water crisis in South Texas just hit a breaking point. 📉
At least six towns—Taft, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Three Rivers, Orange Grove, and Alice—have all issued disaster declarations in the last two weeks. The regional supply is failing, and demand is officially higher than what’s left in the reservoirs.
While small towns are begging for help, the priorities are clear: One Exxon-SABIC plastics plant nearby is burning through more water than all 300,000 residents of Corpus Christi combined.
The state says they need $174B for long-term water infrastructure, but they’ve only put up $20B. That’s a $154B gap while towns are literally being forced to drill emergency wells just to keep the taps running.
Corpus Christi is already projecting mandatory 25% cuts by September for residents and hospitals, but they're still protecting the industrial heavy-hitters to avoid "wrecking the economy."
How are residents being asked to cut back while corporations keep getting protected?

No amount of words can convey how far behind this country will be in every avenue for a number of years because of this administration and everyone associated with them with stuff like this happening.
A lot of folks forget… Texas hasn’t always been red. 🤠
When Democrat Ann Richards was governor, Texas ranked 7th in education.
After nearly 30 years of Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall in education & 47th in reading.
It’s past time for a change. 🌊
