New on MS NOW:

The war with Iran is costing the U.S. an estimated $1 billion a day, according to two congressional sources with knowledge of the matter.

Based on that estimate, the U.S. has spent at least $5 billion on the war since it began on Feb. 28.

The Black Male Teacher Pipeline is Broken: Solutions from the Community Increasing diversity among teachers is more complicated than is often portrayed.

"Black men now represent only about 2% of teachers nationwideβ€”a noticeable drop from 6.5% in the 2017-2018 school year. The declining presence of Black male teachers...tells us in no uncertain terms: the nation struggles to recruit & keep male teachers of color."

coming back to this @warren.senate.gov is there anyway yall can introduce something so folks can pull out of their retirement early with no fees/penalties? instant approval, regardless of employer rules.

from what i can tell, this war is spiraling and people need their $$ with no strings attached.

my student loan amount increased after IDR recertification.

where does the govt think they’re gonna get all this $$ from when literally everything from energy to groceries to student loans are exponentially increasing?

folks are pulling out of their retirement (i am folks).

this is unsustainable.

Screenshot of Veep season two, episode three in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus turns from a crowd, smiles to her team and says, "What the fuck?" The episode aired in April 2013 and became the subject of memes as early as May 2016 as a way of presenting a nervous reaction to something.

offloading our thinking, production, and quality control to AI systems is a CHOICE.

AI kills and I’m being forced to adapt to my own demise 😩
