OPINION: If Trump wins, count on continued culture wars, school vouchers and a fixation on ending the federal Department of Education
What would a new Donald Trump administration mean for U.S. education? Campaign speeches and statements and plans emphasize culture wars, school vouchers and a peculiar fixation on ending the federal Department of Education.

Column: #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump seems to think he’s #losing. Would the #RepublicanParty #survive his #defeat?
With Trump's influence at the core of the party, could the Republican Party endure a defeat that unseats its controversial figurehead? Or would the cracks deepen, leaving it fractured and weakened?
— Not if we take former Vice President Mike Pence's words to Trump to heart, “you took a dying political party and gave it a new lease on life."
If Trump is out many of the Racists and White Suprmacists he brought to their big tent will leave and go home.
#ElonMusk Voices His #undyingloyalty to Trump: Fears #Imprisonment if #KamalaHarris #Wins the #Election
“I’ve been trashing Kamala nonstop.” Musk stated, expressing fear over the potential long-term consequences of continued Democratic leadership. “My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election it’s the last election we are going to have”

"#TheApprentice": the #film #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump doesn't want you to see
A new #movie about #young #DonaldTrump hits #theaters Friday, despite Trump trying to block its release. It paints an #unflattering #portrait of his #rise as a #realestate #mogul — and Republicans are calling it #election #interference.
The scenes are based on #IvanaTrump's #divorce #deposition in 1990, in which she detailed a 1989 #sexualassault.
#AndersonCooper left #speechless by this #bizarre #MelaniaTrump video. The video, released by #Melania to promote her memoir, due out next week, left Cooper stunned.
In the book, Melania defends the right to abortion — a stark contrast to her years of campaigning for Republicans who have actively sought to roll back abortion rights.
"That's the weirdest #promo I've ever seen... Wow."

A Michigan Senate candidate aims to achieve what no Republican has done in three decades
Former Representative Mike Rogers is attempting to become the first Republican to win a U.S. Senate race in Michigan in 30 years. Rep. Elissa Slotkin stands in his way on the Democratic side and holds a significant fundraising advantage. The Michigan race could turn on how the presidential candidates perform in this swing state as some Democrats voice concerns about Vice President Kamala Harris' standing in her presidential bid. Rogers hopes to make up the fundraising gap with a strong statewide ground game. The seat became open after longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced plans to retire. The Michigan seat will be a crucial factor in deciding who takes control of the Senate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted over her latest, dangerous, health tip
In a post on Sunday, Greene encouraged people to drink #rawmilk.

Let's Talk About Raw Milk: A Friendly Guide
Hey there! I've noticed there's been a lot of buzz about raw milk lately, and I totally get why people are curious about it. After all, who doesn't want the most natural, healthy options for their family?
— (1/11)
But here's the thing - I've done some digging into the science behind raw milk, and I'd love to share what I've learned with you.
The Raw Milk Trend: What's It All About?
You might have heard friends or family members talking about switching to raw milk. Maybe they've told you it's more nutritious or that it's "the way nature intended." These claims sound pretty convincing, right? I mean, less processing usually means better for us... except when it doesn't!
— (2/11)
Here's the Scoop
Think of milk pasteurization like cooking chicken - we don't eat chicken raw because we know it needs to be cooked to be safe, right? Milk is actually pretty similar. Back in the day (we're talking pre-1900s), people got sick from milk ALL THE TIME. Then this really clever scientist named Louis Pasteur figured out that heating milk to just the right temperature could make it safe while keeping all the good stuff we love about it.
— (3/11)
"But I Heard Raw Milk Is Better For You..."
I hear you! Let's chat about some of the things you might have heard:
🥛 "Raw milk has more nutrients!"
Actually, pasteurized milk is still packed with all the calcium, protein, and vitamins you need. The heating process barely affects the good stuff - it's like the difference between having 100 pennies or 99 pennies. You're still rich in nutrients either way!
🦠 "Raw milk has good bacteria!"
— (4/11)
Here's the thing - the bacteria in raw milk aren't like the probiotics in your yogurt.
They're more like uninvited guests at a party who might make everyone sick. If you want good bacteria, grab some yogurt or kimchi instead!
🧪 "It's more natural!"
You know what else is natural? Poison ivy! (Just kidding, but you get the point!) Natural doesn't always mean safer or better for us.
Real Talk: Why It Matters
— (5/11)
I care about this stuff because I've seen the statistics, and they're pretty eye-opening. Raw milk is 150 times more likely to make people sick than pasteurized milk.
That's not a typo - 150 times!
And kids are especially at risk because their immune systems are still developing.
What About All Those Success Stories?
You might know someone who drinks raw milk and feels great - and that's lucky! But it's kind of like not wearing a seatbelt and never getting in an accident.
— (6/11)
You might be fine for years, but why take the risk when there's a safer option that's just as good?
The Bottom Line (From a Friend Who Cares)
Look, I get that we all want to make the best choices for our health. But here's what it comes down to: pasteurized milk gives you all the nutritional benefits without playing Russian roulette with your health. It's the same great milk, just made safe for everyone to enjoy!
— (7/11)
What To Do Instead
If you're interested in getting the most nutrition from your dairy, here are some fun alternatives:
Try different types of pasteurized milk (whole, grass-fed, organic)
Make your own yogurt from pasteurized milk
Experiment with kefir (the safe, store-bought kind)
Try some amazing cheeses (aged cheeses are especially nutritious!)
Want to Learn More?
Chat with your doctor or local health department - they've got tons of great info about this stuff!
— (8/11)
And remember, they're not just being buzzkills - they really want you and your family to be healthy and safe.
Remember: The best milk is the kind that keeps you healthy while still being delicious. And that's exactly what pasteurized milk does! 🥛✨
P.S. If you're still curious about why people started pasteurizing milk in the first place, just imagine being a doctor in the 1800s watching kids get sick from milk and thinking, "There has to be a better way!"
— (9/11)
That's exactly what happened, and that's why we pasteurize today. Pretty cool how science helps keep us healthy, right?
