Good morning from Cedar Rapids!!
Grateful to my hometown paper for standing with conviction and moral clarity — 4 days out from the most important election of our lifetime 🙏🏻
Iowans, let’s support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Low unemployment. More support for small and mid-size family farmers. More rural health care professionals. More investment in broadband, infrastructure, housing, and clean energy solutions.
Good record & good plans for Iowa.
Obama: I've taken special interest in following the school superintendent race down here in North Carolina, in part because apparently the Republican candidate thinks I should face a firing squad. So I guess I am self-interested.
Parents opposed the so-called “experts” and banished “discovery math” to the dustbin of discarded fads where it belongs.
The same fundamental errors animate this newest fad - "Building Thinking Classrooms".
Teachers shouldn't be taught to ignore our concerns.

Burnout isn't about hours worked.
In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.
Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,
And take steps to help.
Use this graphic to find causes of burnout in your organization.
Regardless of how this election goes, i will never be the same. Its broken my heart to learn we share a country with some of the most wretched people on the planet.
Obama: John McCain. I don't want to over romanticize our relationship. John was conservative to put it mildly. He ran against me in 2008 and talked about me on the campaign trail. You know what, he understood that some values transcend party. He believed an honest argument and hearing the views of other people. He didn't demonize political opponents. Do you remember at the end of the campaign when a woman at one of his rallies said, you can't vote for that Arab, he's not even a citizen and he said hold on, I have had a lot of disagreements with Senator Obama but I served with him, he is a good man and an honorable man and a patriotic American, shut it down. He knew that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, democracy can't work. The man had character.
"In Urbandale, 163 students took vouchers worth $1.2 million in the 2023-24 school yr. To put that in context, the district budgeted $1.8 million for student transportation in FY24."
