Southern Poverty Law Center says it is under Justice Department investigation The nonprofit on Tuesday said it is “the latest organization targeted by this administration.”

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

America Was Never Meant to Think too Hard He is in the fifth grade when they stop asking him to read full books.

Democracy dies w/o critical thinking - and it gets buried early.

A large majority of our schools...still...value compliance over critical thinking...still...

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Support these data centers: SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, BOOKSTORES

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚
