    Democrats usually dread the “how you gonna pay for it” question but Elizabeth Warren has flipped the script with a $2.75 trillion tax that’s popular because it targets an unsympathetic group — $50-millionaires and billionaires. https://t.co/Na9z7OxpGP https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1120490444805296128?s=17

    The path after #Mueller: Keep impeachment on the table but first use hearings & further inquiries to make clear to the majority just how outrageous #Trump’s behavior is. Dems must avoid helping Trump by tearing each other apart over impeachment.

    @BellaAugust4 That is why the new Obama label pisses me off. Obama did not go from Harvard to a cushy consulting job…he returned to the community and did the tough work. It took him 48K votes to win State Senator and 3.6M for US Senator vs Pete’s 8500 votes. Put some respect on Obama’s name! https://twitter.com/blackwomenviews/status/1120008867121901568?s=17

      When I say that the cancelling student debt would be life-altering…it really would.
      Black women are the most educated group in America, but, the overwhelming majority of us don’t have rich parents, so we are taking out loans.
      We can’t buy homes or do investing, because we have those loans. Taking away those loans would change the trajectory of folks’ lives.

    From Charles Blow:

    Impeachment exists separately from removal. Impeachment in the House is akin to an indictment, with the trial, which could convict and remove, taking place in the Senate. The Senate has never once voted to convict.

    So, an impeachment vote in the House has, to this point, been the strongest rebuke America is willing to give a president. I can think of no president who has earned this rebuke more than the current one.

    Democrats who are constantly being badgered about impeachment need to disconnect the question from the Highly Redacted Mueller Report. They need to state that until they see the entire report, they cannot say. They need to say that until they get Trump’s tax returns and financials, they cannot say. And then they need to say that if Trump refuses to comply with producing those items, that his refusal will be among the grounds for impeachment.

    Silicon Valley Came to Kansas Schools. That Started a Rebellion.
    By Nellie Bowles
    April 21, 2019

    WELLINGTON, Kan. — The seed of rebellion was planted in classrooms. It grew in kitchens and living rooms, in conversations between students and their parents.

    It culminated when Collin Winter, 14, an eighth grader in McPherson, Kan., joined a classroom walkout in January. In the nearby town of Wellington, high schoolers staged a sit-in. Their parents organized in living rooms, at churches and in the back of machine repair shops. They showed up en masse to school board meetings. In neighborhoods with no political yard signs, homemade signs with dark red slash marks suddenly popped up.

    Silicon Valley had come to small-town Kansas schools — and it was not going well.

    “I want to just take my Chromebook back and tell them I’m not doing it anymore,” said Kallee Forslund, 16, a 10th grader in Wellington.

    Eight months earlier, public schools near Wichita had rolled out a web-based platform and curriculum from Summit Learning. The Silicon Valley-based program promotes an educational approach called “personalized learning,” which uses online tools to customize education. The platform that Summit provides was developed by Facebook engineers. It is funded by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, a pediatrician.

    In a school district survey of McPherson middle school parents released this month, 77 percent of respondents said they preferred their child not be in a classroom that uses Summit. More than 80 percent said their children had expressed concerns about the platform.

    “Change rarely comes without some bumps in the road,” said Gordon Mohn, McPherson’s superintendent of schools. He added, “Students are becoming self-directed learners and are demonstrating greater ownership of their learning activities.”

    John Buckendorf, Wellington High School’s principal, said the “vast majority of our parents are happy with the program

    The resistance in Kansas is part of mounting nationwide opposition to Summit, which began trials of its system in public schools four years ago and is now in around 380 schools and used by 74,000 students. In Brooklyn, high school students walked out in November after their school started using Summit’s platform. In Indiana, Pa., after a survey by Indiana University of Pennsylvania found 70 percent of students wanted Summit dropped or made optional, the school board scaled it back and then voted this month to terminate it. And in Cheshire, Conn., the program was cut after protests in 2017.

    After Democrats Surged In 2018, Republican-Run States Eye New Curbs On Voting
    April 22, 2019
    5:00 AM ET

    After high turnout in last year’s midterm elections propelled Democrats to a new House majority and big gains in the states, several Republican-controlled state legislatures are attempting to change voting-related rules in ways that might reduce future voter turnout.

    In Texas, state lawmakers are considering adding criminal penalties for people who improperly fill out voter registration forms. Arizona Republicans are proposing new voting rules that could make it more complicated to cast an early ballot. In Tennessee, GOP lawmakers are considering a bill that would fine groups involved in voter registration drives that submit incomplete forms.

    Republican lawmakers in those states say new laws are needed to maintain the integrity of voter rolls and prevent fraud. Voting rights advocates and Democrats dismiss those claims and argue that the policies are designed to dampen turnout among younger, nonwhite and poorer voters, who are less likely to back Republicans.

    If enacted, these proposals could have an impact on future elections, especially in Arizona and Texas, where demographic and political trends are making both states more competitive on the national level for the first time in decades.

    Last fall, Arizona Republicans saw their total control of all statewide offices shattered by surging Democratic turnout, losing four of nine statewide races — including a U.S. Senate seat. Democrats view the state’s other Senate seat as one of their best pickup opportunities in 2020. In Texas, record turnout helped Democrats flip two congressional and 12 state legislative seats — not to mention come closer than they have in decades in the Senate race. While Tennessee wasn’t ultimately competitive in 2018, there was a surge of newly registered voters in the Democratic strongholds of Memphis and Nashville.
