Bob Ney

Bob Ney: Duncan Hunter's plea is official but not official until sentencing. He could change his plea; there could be new discovery of evidence, but once he's sentenced, that's when the felony is official. The sentencing would probably happen within 90 days.

Jordan Uhl

Jordan Uhl: We're not dealing with anyone who's intellectually honest. Their goal is re-election, and next it's to protect the President.

Paul Kitagaki, Jr.: My parents never really talked about their time in the camps. Many people were afraid to return home because of the racism they'd face.

Lauri Lebo

Lauri Lebo: If any taxpayer dollars are going towards something, the politicians want to get their arms around it. I thought vouchers were over & done with, but here they are again, just like Groundhog Day. Politicians want to send tax dollars to their buddies.

@llebo

@PSEA

Lisa Lightner

Lisa Lightner: The charter schools are really good at marketing, at rallying their supporters (students & families) to repeat a certain message, whether it's correct or not. You can see them listing the talking points. (Many can be debunked.)

@BadassTeachersA

Cedric de Leon

Cedric de Leon: The strike wave is spreading because people are making demands in the light of day, others are watching & seeing the successes & then doing it themselves.

Gbenga Ajilore

Gbenga Ajilore: We've noticed the erosion of power: things like the decline of labor unions, non-compete clauses, especially at place like McDonald's.

Ben Jackson

Ben Jackson:NRA's sorta sub-organization in NY sued to have this law struck down. In the meantime,it was declared that you could move your gun to 2nd location in the state. NY repealed the law. This case was brought toSCOTUS b/c NRA wants ppl to have guns wherever

@DadoftheDecade

Brett Pransky

Brett Pransky: GOP votes the party, no matter what, and they vote, no matter what. They have a tendency to win elections when we don't show up.

Propane Jane: The photo Trump tweeted out of himself [like Rocky] epitomizes his malignant narcissism. His base thinks he can do no wrong.

Bob Ney: It's clear Clinton perjured himself, but Trump is using federal money to get what he wants for personal gain.
@bobney

Carol Corbett Burris: 37% of charter schools that get federal funding fail. 11% never even open.
