This is both shocking and not at all surprising. *snip* My reaction to so many things in the news right now. Right? It's pretty much been my perpetual state of mind for a while now.

For any Adam Serwer fans... My grandfather died because of a stroke so I want to light Dr. Oz on fire. But I do appreciate that response.

Pat Ryan (D) defeats Marc Molinaro (R) in the NY19 special election! Ryan was unapologetically prochoice in the purple district and picked up a lot of steam after Dobbs, but was still very much the underdog.

So VA, friends, we are three days in and the new VA school dress code is 1-sexist, but 2- already causing major drama in our school. Anyone else hearing of problems?

Can you read that? (Not sure if pic quality) So, several girls got calls home for shorts this week in elementary school, but were never asked to check their length according to this, and they were in fact longer than required. Also, it’s unclear if leggings are allowed, which is obviously a mainstay of younger kids. ETA no doubt we can thank Youngkin for all of this.

(not my kid personally). Also have you TRIED to find jeans right now withOUT a hole/placed tear? Or in my kids case a t-shirt thats cool and not a baby tee?

I don't think people are going to be happy with this I really wish they'd do something about the ridiculous interest rate. If that doesn't change, this is always going to be an issue.

Interesting. Is it a statewide dress code? I thought most schools it was by district in VA? Also this is nearly identical to the dress code i had from 1990-2003 which i would have guessed would update hy now.

I'm glad they're doing more for Pell Grant recipients otherwise it seems to be what they've been talking about forever and underwhelming. Really don't understand why it has dragged out like this.

Republicans believe strongly in local control as long as it conforms to everything they want

The student loan plan is laughably pathetic. People will get 10k forgiven and then whenever the loans are reinstated, 10k in interest will accrue shortly. And I understand there are many people where 10k is a significant balance on their loans, but there is also a huge swath of people (myself included) where 10k doesn't even make a hint of a dent.
It feels like lip service and really nothing at all.

Ok.
