When will the boys at Heritage get over the fact that it is eduwonkette who teaches at Princeton, while they will never rise any higher than a foundation that worships the ground that right wing autocrat Viktor Orbán walks on?

No, Josh Hawley is not a working class advocate. He is an Ivy League educated supporter of the January 6th insurrection, committed to repeal of ACA, extreme in his opposition to reproductive freedom, and has a literal 0% rating on AFL-CIO score card. No union should support him.

Wherever there is a terrible political argument, dead wrong as a matter of morality and political strategy, you will find Jodi Dean making it. Here she signs the praises of Hamas. What level of intellectual rot is required to publish it, New Left Review?

Anything that helps poor kids overcome obstacles to learning — free lunches, health care for hearing & vision issues, for asthma, etc. — Erika Sanzi finds a reason to oppose. An educational Scrooge, straight out of Dickens.

Nothing is quite so revealing as the desire to deny poor kids the healthcare — for hearing and vision issues, for asthma, etc. — that removes barriers to learning. These are the same folks that complain about free lunch in schools. 21st century robber barons.

Oh, the moral hazard. Every worker might think that they have the right to a living wage, regardless of the industry in which they work. You do not impress, Mayor Jacob Frey.
