@mollyhc Molly, this is devastating and infuriating. You have done groundbreaking reporting. I am so upset to see how this has unfolded. A travesty.

A Rathdrum mom’s efforts to wrest school board control from MAGA conservatives ended in disappointment on Election Day.

How it happened carries a message about political power.

As one source put it, “Idaho is a bellwether.” This race for two school
board seats should be a heads up.

Sure, we hear about choice, vouchers, the shrinking federal DOE, but what are the consequences? It’s beyond red and blue. Great convo with @leighmorgan https://t.co/P27YsukrQ3

[Laura Pappano @LauraPappano]

OK so two of my faves @bonnietsui and @anniemurphypaul on fire talking about Bonnie’s sweet read On Muscle at @HarvardBooks event at the Harvard science center(obvi)!! I got to see this powerhouse (who could probs powerlift serious lbs if water were involved) earlier in the day.

New grads are prioritizing work-life balance. The workplace is not used to that. @hechingerreport https://t.co/I4zrKg80gj

On this week's #PoliticalBrew, GOP analyst Lisa Keim and Dem analyst Betsy Sweet talk about the how the DOJ suit against Maine could impact Gov. Mills' legacy. Check it out! #Mainepolitics #mepolitics

[Donovan Lynch @DonoLynchNews]

This suit puts Maine’s Democratic AG Aaron Frey on the side of Maine’s Republican Senator Susan Collins— both want to want to restrict the president’s near-absolute tariff power. #mainepolitics

Can we fight at the school board meeting — and then play snowshoe volleyball. I hope so. My convo with @LeighMSpeaks https://t.co/vnpbvkChxM

I LOVE this civic activism. Information still matters!!!

Schools and school boards have gone from being community enterprises to politically charged spaces. As @LauraPappano puts it, “In a very specific way, they’re being deputized to be part of this larger far-right drive.” @radioagainst https://t.co/SlyGBgN4fQ

https://t.co/0H8tmiI43b Had an absolute blast chatting with Patrick and Mark about the Dempsey Challenge! What a wonderful event for a deeply important cause. @MarkConsuelos @PatrickDempsey @dempsey_center @newscentermaine

Grateful for the @hechingerreport team, especially @cpreston for her wise and stunning editing.

@hechingerreport @aldotcom @Salon This is an INCREDIBLE story via @LauraPappano:
It about more than the law. It also challenges this principal's place in the white Christian, predominantly conservative community she grew up in, belongs to and loves.

“There’s no such thing as a transgender child. Please quote me on that,” Moms for Liberty co- founder Tiffany Justice told me and @NirviShah @Moms4Liberty national summit. Some beg to differ @RedWineBlueUSA https://t.co/wlXbVWAilx
