Oklahoma’s $231 million voucher tax scheme previews how a federal version would work in Michigan and beyond. New data: wealthiest families use the vouchers, private schools hiked tuition after the taxpayer check. Only 9% users ever in public school. oklahomavoice.com/2025/05/08/okl…

Ask yourself—what’s going to stop the government from deporting you to a prison in El Salvador? How would you prove it’s an error if you don’t have due process? If it can happen to anyone, it can happen to you. The people get it. Either everyone has due process—or nobody does.

Voucher supporters won’t cap income on vouchers. They won’t ban rich families from sending gifts to get their kids to the top of the line. They rig the game, then make you pay for it. Still think vouchers aren’t a scam? Watch @GinaForAustin break it down.

Tomorrow, House Republicans will attempt to give taxpayer handouts to people making over $500,000 a year, while underfunding our neighborhood public schools. Learn about HB 115 below and tell your representative to vote against it on the House Floor tomorrow! ⬇️ #NHPolitics

What do grassroots Republicans think about private school vouchers? Listen for yourself: "I'm a Republican precinct lead...and my input for you today is to kill this bill." #txlege

Yesterday I testified on the school voucher bill under consideration in Texas. Vouchers have become a handout to wealthy families and those already in private school. In the long run, states can’t afford two sectors of education—vouchers leave communities behind.

More fraud in AZ’s school voucher system. Aside: this is a reason that ESA vouchers (tuition plus add-ons) won’t have better results than the dreadful outcomes from classic vouchers. This isn’t “customized” education. It’s just a bad idea in action. 12news.com/article/news/l…

In education, “government efficiency” is often just a cover story for profit and privatization. And no accountability. Take school vouchers. Older voucher states like OH and WI still distribute vouchers directly from state funds. But elsewhere now there are middleman…

Donald Trump says that China, Russia, and North Korea aren't “really enemies” if he’s the president: “If you have a smart president, they’re not enemies. You’ll make them do great.” Huh?

A shocking 44% of public school teachers are now quitting the profession within five years. Teacher are massively underpaid. Four hedge fund managers make more than 120,000 kindergarten teachers combined. Bernie Sanders just held a Senate hearing on how teachers are underpaid.

That $25 billion in voucher subsidy keeps public education spending down, roads from being repaired, energy costs high, and other new economic investments from being made. All to cut tuition checks—mostly for students already in private school. rb.gy/ceuzu1

But right-wing groups like Heritage keep telling me vouchers promote civic engagement! I don’t think attacking the Capitol and denying election results are what the Founders had in mind, but here we are.
