Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor just shared, in a panel discussion along with Justice Neil Gorsuch, that in the USA, we spend $54 per student on STEM courses, and only $.05 on Civics education. #sschat @SocialStudiesMN @NCSSNetwork @CivXNow

BREAKING: Brave UNRWA teacher in Gaza speaks out against the culture of death being cultivated in the schools. Teachers around her are “aggressively pushing” ideologies of killing and violence onto their students. (Source: @JusoorNews)
Will @UNLazzarini be held to account?

I came into the Foreign Service under Ronald Reagan, served under every president, even a few months under Donald Trump. NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, ever asked me who I voted for or doubted my "fidelity" to my country. They don't want professionals, they want political hacks.
SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24.
Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.
State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

New. I’m told by frontline drone commanders in Ukraine that Starlink speed restrictions have likely been lifted. They are still doing tests but “this looks to be the case”

Young Kenyans are a politically engaged bunch. Yet their turnout at elections has been in decline for years. Could they buck that trend—and vote against a president they despise? economist.com/middle-east-an…

At the start of the war Iran had ~135m barrels of oil in floating storage in Asia, which it continued selling to China
After a months-long American blockade, that stockpile has been totally depleted, according to @Kpler wsj.com/world/middle-east/ir…

Weidel: "Prolonging the war and shooting drones into the hinterland of Russia, destroying refineries, houses, and buildings near Moscow, is a huge provocation."
Host: "It's defending itself."
Weidel: "No, it's not."
Host: "Every night, drones and ballistic missiles rain down on Ukraine..."
Weidel: "This strategy is very risky, and we've been criticizing it. We want to end this war.
It doesn't help if a country [Ukraine] launches drone attacks against a country [Russia] that has nuclear weapons. It doesn't make sense, it's very risky and very stupid.
We need to end this, and we need to actually put pressure on Ukrainian president to have the willingness to end the dying and stop this very risky strategy for all of Europe."🔚
Folks, here is Weidel's imaginary reality: black is white, the victim is to blame for the crime against them, and defending your home against a bloody, illegal invasion that murders children and razes towns is "stupid," while letting Russia occupy you and carry out a country-wide Bucha massacre is probably smart.
And defending yourself is risky! Risky, did you hear that? Well, no shit, just standing there and catching Russian ballistics with your face is risky, too. So we may as well take the risk and, hear me out, fight back?
Please don't vote for this evil Russian appendix in Germany!

It’s war. Especially now that Trump has officially joined the Russian side, Europe must fight back or lose this war it refuses to admit that it’s already in.
Putin personally ordered a new wave of attacks on @NATO countries in Europe. The Leipzig airport plot was one of the opening shots.
Putin was driven by frustration with the stalled negotiations and Ukraine’s deep strikes.

Which is worse, the strategic stupidity of rewarding a murderous dictator with billions of dollars for taking American hostages, or a US envoy groveling before him? As usual in these US-Russia “negotiations," Putin gets everything he wants and gives up nothing he cares about.

The Secretary of State is supposed to represent the state. But if you just want to make crooked business deals, send crooked businessmen.
