In a resurfaced clip from 2011, Matt Damon shuts down the 'MBA-style thinking' about how teaching should work. In it, an interviewer from Reason TV asks Damon if there's an incentive for actors to keep doing their best to continue to get work, why there shouldn't be the same incentive for teachers: less job security means they work harder. Damon clapped back immediately, shutting down the notion that teachers teach for anything other than the passion they have for their field. Damon's mom, who stood next to him during the interview, is early childhood education professor Nancy Carlsson-Paige. She's written dozens of books on the subject and is a celebrated expert in her field. #mattdamon #elonmusk #education

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) perfectly lays out how Donald Trump's Cabinet nominations are not about qualifications — they're about 'purging' the federal government of non-loyalists #trump #cabinet #maga
'Shamelessness is not and never will be a superpower' While receiving the Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellence in Comedy at the BAFTAs in 2018, Jim Carrey delivered a powerful commentary on Donald Trump's first term, without even saying his name. And in 2024, his words ring true once again, with another Trump presidency looming. #jimcarrey #donaldtrump
23 Nobel Prize-winning economists are backing Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan over Donald Trump’s. Trump’s plan to deport as many as 20 million people would devastate the economy, cutting the GDP by twice the amount it fell during the 2008 financial crisis. That’s not hyperbole: It could literally spark a second Great Depression. #kamalaharris #trump #economy

Visa and Mastercard executives revealed a profit margin of over 50%. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) grilled representatives from the credit card companies for not negotiating lower interchange fees for small businesses as they do with large corporations. 'This is classic, classic monopolistic behavior,’ he said at the bipartisan Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on a bill that would lower the cost of interchange fees and create more networks to handle credit card transactions. Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) said of the hearing, ‘This is an odd grouping. The most conservative and the most liberal members happen to agree that we have to do something about this situation.’ #credit #economy #creditcard

Gina Loudon, the MAGA pundit who once served on Trump's media advisory board, just made a wild claim that Ariana Grande is ‘obviously’ Hispanic. This strange assertion, made during a rant about the casting in ‘Wicked,’ highlights a masterclass in racism. Grande, who is actually Italian-American, doesn’t seem to fit into Loudon’s narrow definition of ‘whiteness,’ showcasing the absurdity of right-wing rhetoric trying to police racial identities. #arianagrande #wicked #trump
In true Tim Walz fashion, his post-election address focused on empathy for the wants and needs of the American people 💙 #election #timwalz #kamalaharris
