🧵Honestly, I don't think a lot of Democrats see the big picture with public education. The GOP wants it to fail. They want to choke the life out of it. They see that it has created a generation that has completely turned on them. They are furious. This is retribution. #politics

Republican control of the House of Representatives has fed a changing dynamic. After decades of playing defense, the Democrats are going on offense.
Today, President Joe Biden visited Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he talked about protecting Medicare and Medicaid. He was careful—as he always is—to differentiate between “an awful lot of really good Republicans” and the “MAGA Republicans.” “There’s kind of like, in my view, sort of two Republican Parties.” #politics
