To your point, the research shows that undocumented people pay far more in taxes than the cost of a K-12 education, and states actually make money off of educating undocumented children. www.fwd.us/wp-content/u...
Children are generally considered off-limits in politics, even if in practice they aren't. But in the war on immigrants, the administration and the larger GOP apparatus have placed kids squarely in the line of fire. theintercept.com/2025/10/19/c...
Crockett's pastor, Freddy Haynes III, has officially won her seat in TX-30. Haynes ran to Crockett's left on issues from Israel & Gaza to ICE and crypto. In response to q’s I sent him in February, he minced no words about where Dems are failing voters theintercept.com/2026/02/04/tex…
Sam Singer, an ESL teacher in Tennessee, said she’s had “numerous students” ask if they’re still allowed to go to school.
“They’re questions that no child should ever have to ask...The expectation should be, of course, you’re supposed to be here, you’re a kid. This is where you belong.”
“This feels like a credible threat,” said Cassandra Zimmer-Wong, a policy analyst at the Niskanen Center. “The ramifications of this are huge … denying children carte-blanche education would create an uneducated, potentially illiterate underclass of children and then adults in this country.”
The right to a free K-12 education is guaranteed regardless of immigration status by a Supreme Court ruling Plyler v. Doe. But the Heritage Foundation, the group behind Project 2025, wants states to challenge the ruling.

NEW: Progressives are already pushing Talarico on Israel & Gaza, ICE. Organizers saw little daylight between he & Crockett on those policies but saw more room to move him than they did her. Also heard he’s being advised on improving on Gaza. W/ @jonahmv.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/03/04/j...
Crockett concedes: “This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.”

The first test of progressive challengers of the midterms is so incredibly close right now. Less than a point separates them in a battle along a very clear fault line over corporate money in politics.

To be fair, who among us hasn't made plans that snuck up on us unexpectedly, leaving hundreds of people entrusted to our care stranded overseas as bombs rain down on 10 countries, closing airports and sending energy prices soaring worldwide, and instantly destroying billions in market value?
There's officially too much happening. I just filed a story about Republicans trying to kick undocumented children out of public school/ turn school administrators into ICE informants
--- and a separate story about how war with Iran is impacting the North Carolina Democratic primary.
Enough.
