Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives want to dramatically slash funding for Title I, the long-running federal program that sends money to schools based on the number of children from low-income families that they serve.

A bill advanced by a Republican-controlled House subcommittee on Friday seeks to cut Title I grants by 80% or nearly $15 billion.

Republicans just keep writing the Democrat talking points for the next election.

    Terrible take in this context. It’s one thing for Manchin to vote a more conservative line being that he’s likely the only Democrat that will be elected in his state. Sinema, however, campaigned on a progressive platform and then flipped when she got elected. She should have been recalled for that stunt, it’s certainly not the performance her constituents put her in there for.

      It’s only terrible if the only purpose you see for the democratic and republican parties is to fully allign their votes with their party and against the others.

      She should have been recalled for that stunt,

      If her voters wanted to recall her, they could have.

      it’s certainly not the performance her constituents put her in there for.

      If you have a problem bring it up with the voters.
