Trump's transition team turns to Project 2025 after disavowing it during the campaign
Well, well, well. What do we have here? A terrible, no-good, not-at-all surprising pivot BACK to Project 2025, the right-wing fever dream manifesto Trump spent months swearing he'd never heard of or had anything to do with. Who could've possibly seen this about-face coming?!

Can you really use an Arkansas school voucher for horseback riding lessons? Yes
The Arkansas LEARNS Act, signed into law in 2023 by former Trump tall-tale-spinner and current Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, created a voucher program that sends public money to private school families to use for tuition, fees, and other expenses. This school year, the program is open to many homeschoolers as well. Homeschool families don’t have tuition bills to pay, but they’re able to use voucher funds for a variety of other education-related expenses, such as books and supplies, curricula, computers and other technology, and private tutoring. Extracurricular activities are fair game, too, and include — no, we are not making this up — climbing gyms, dance studios, jiu-jitsu instructors, and equestrian sports. Seriously.

BTC leads collective of progressive creators with plan to take back the internet from Joe Rogan and the right-wing machine
Chorus: This election has made it painfully clear that Democrats' messages are just not getting through the tsunami of right-wing propaganda and lies flooding through social media, and we have no real answer to a Joe Rogan or a Ben Shapiro...until now! Chorus Collective is a new collaborative founded by creators like Brian Tyler Cohen, Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl), Roland Martin, David Pakman, Elizabeth Booker Houston, and Adam Mockler, who are bringing their audience of 40 million people together to create a new infrastructure to scale their voices and build support for more creators like them. Chorus aims to not only amplify progressive voices but also uplift new creators and build a left-wing social media ecosystem that supports its voices ALL the time, not just in the months leading up to an election. Will you chip in to help Chorus get off the ground and help break the right-wing stranglehold on social media?
