I did not realize that I, a public school teacher, had evil big interests. Thanks for the heads up. But billionaires and hedge funder managers are interested in profiting off public ed dollars for purely philanthropic reasons! Ohhhhh, right, duh.

Jonathan Chait is out here with ultra hot takes on why charter proponents are not evil big interests like public school teachers, without mentioning that his wife's entire job is expanding the reach of charter schools. It is...something. I did not realize that I, a public school teacher, had evil big interests. Thanks for the heads up. Yes you should have gone into something more altruistic like creating kennels for people. Seriously though thank you for being a teacher! You guys are truly underappreciated.

Also, furloughed federal employees will lose their health insurance on Feb 1 if the furlough continues. I don’t know where that article/source got that info but it is not accurate.

ummmmmmm
45 on the south lawn, being very calm, HA, not really, hes being really yelly about Comey being a dirty cop and Hillz not being sworn in.
Holy shit
Is it too much to ask that he slips on a patch of ice and knocks himself unconscious for a week or two?
Did you catch that he's serving the Clemson football team fast food because "that's their favorite?" I legit dropped my phone I'm a Clemson alum and the White House visit is the only part about the National Championship win that I don't like. WTF at the fast food. Our players are classy and wouldn't say anything but really?

I was feeling conflicted on subpoenas for the translator but if Brennan thinks it's necessary, I'm leaning toward support Questions Congress should ask the American translator in Helsinki: Were written notes passed between Mr. Trump & Mr. Putin? Did Mr. Trump ask Mr. Putin to conceal anything about the past? Were any promises made? Were you asked to step aside at any time? t.co/Lawnfa2FTN

Apparently Barr is claiming he's not interested in watching the Mueller probe. I mean, sure, but he needs to recuse.

Los Angeles school teachers started striking today. Second largest school district in the nation. I hope it doesn’t go on to long and I hope the teachers prevail.

H’s whole work network is furloughed or contractors without a paycheck right now. It’s hard enough for everyone without paychecks, losing benefits would be far worse.

The John Marbury guy on CNN is Richard Quest.
Seriously I really am waiting for him to yell GERALD.
Apparently there is no way Theresa May can win on Brexit?
I'm still confused on this whole brexit thing.

Alexandra Erin thread. I love her and she’s completely correct about what will happen if the wall is indeed built. Fear-mongerers will just use it to fear monger more.
