Hegseth wants more homeschooling in military families. Of course he is unaware that 6 out of 10 military spouses work outside the home. Maybe instead of focusing on home school he should demand an increase in military pay. Tens of thousands of military families are food insecure,
Fix that!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Los Padres National Forest is a 1.75 million acre jewel that encompasses beaches, redwood forests, semi-deserts, and more. Hundreds of thousands of acres in remote areas are intact wilderness. Trump wants paved roads in that wilderness and in protected forests throughout the US. May open pristine forest to logging.
USDA opened a comment period on road building in US National Forests. Link in article. Please stop this travesty.

@GottaLaff Children especially can be saddled with a lifetime of dental issues. Fluoride builds enamel in growing teeth. Hope parents will have the sense to ask their dentists about fluoride options.
Edited to add that of course poor kids will be the most affected. Florida is one of the very few states that charges its poorest families a fee for kids to obtain medical and dental care. As of this year the state has unenrolled thousands of kids for non payment.
