Tax $$$ paid to Student First is in addition to the actual cost of the voucher program - estimated to be around $300M in the next school year.
The total cost of school voucher is approaching $1 billion - effectively creating a separate, very expensive school system in TN

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

@atrupar I hope every defendant uses this clip as proof of the ludicrous nature of the charges.

How did a 22-year-old enslaved woman successfully escape from and evade her enslavers—George and Martha Washington—despite a years long manhunt led by the first president of the United States? Today, we celebrate freedom seeker Ona “Onley” Judge.

Internal documents from the National Park Service, which hosts the annual DC fireworks celebration, and obtained by the Washington Post, say that people in the area should “remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show” and “wear an N95 mask when outdoors” to prevent “irritation symptoms.” https://t.co/zlGTUFIoA5

What a picture from @orr_photo of @Reuters — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

Trump can deny climate change all he wants. The heat wave punishing the country this week doesn’t care what he thinks.

Scientists just confirmed this kind of extreme heat would have been “virtually impossible” before we started burning fossil fuels at scale.

And what has this administration done? Erased the government’s power to fight climate change while families stand in front of open fire hydrants trying to cool off.

Reality doesn’t need Trump’s permission.

As governor, I will pay off medical debt for 100,000 Tennesseans, end the grocery tax, and defund the voucher scheme. The best part? I won’t need to raise a single tax.

The New York Times has done us a service with this story.

Trump keeps rewriting American history to make it a mirror for whatever he wants to do today. History does not validate or justify his gross corruption, his firing federal workers, his reckless tariffs, or much of anything else he’s doing.

Trump claims Andrew Jackson cut the federal workforce to fight corruption. Jackson replaced everyone he fired and hired even more, and historians agree his spoils system promoted vast corruption. 

He claims William McKinley’s tariffs made the country rich. Those tariffs helped failed to prevent a recession, and McKinley himself walked away from that view before he died, calling commercial wars unprofitable.

He wants a version of history that makes all of it sound inevitable and wise.

The facts say otherwise. We should keep insisting on them.
