Today, PSBA participated in a press conference with @RepMackenzie, Rep. Stambaugh, Rep. Milou Mackenzie, Rep. Gleim and Rep. Jones to raise awareness of our members' opposition of HB 2153, which expands on the current prevailing wage laws.

The PSBA Trust Institute's cohort met German education reps to learn about trends, policies and more that will result in articles, reports and conference ed sessions. Stay tuned for the valuable resources this group will bring home! #ExcellenceInPAPublicEd PSBATrust.org

MIC DROP: @PaulaYScanlan DESTROYS @RepCohen on biological men using women’s facilities 🔥👇 "By Rep. Cohen admitting that we need barriers [in women's facilities] acknowledges there are biological differences between men and women. And by acknowledging that we need to have private spaces that are separate from each other, why can't we just use the locker rooms that we've always used - the men's and the women's? If you're acknowledging that we need protection and privacy from these men, then you're acknowledging that the locker rooms we've always used are the correct ones."

Ok, Liz… Let’s cut through your bullshit and lies. What actually happened is there was a run on a bank that had nothing at all to do with crypto, except for your squawking about crypto risk, which caused a run on Silvergate, WHICH FULLY PAID ITS DEPOSITORS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT MONEY. Then, there was a run on SVB, which was a secondary effect of your lies about crypto and the Silvergate run. SVB was a bank that primarily provided services to startups. The bailout there will be paid by increased FDIC fees to banks, not taxpayers. Had we not bailed out SVB, innocent workers and vendors of those startups would have gone without payment. You are absolutely lying, as is par for the course for you. You have made your desire to kill crypto clear, because you believe in 100% government control of the financial system and how people spend their money. You do this at the expense of American innovation, in the service of your traditional finance friends, all while (still) lying to the American people and claiming that you care about the little guy. You are a liar. The SVB failure did not have anything to do with crypto and that bailout overwhelmingly benefited small startups and their employees, not crypto firms. Further, those actions have absolutely nothing to do with student loans. If you actually cared about student loan borrowers, you would spend your time pushing legislation to change that broken system, rather than spending your time grinding an axe against crypto and spreading lies and misinformation about crypto and blockchain. In summary, you believe your constituents are stupid and that you can lie to their faces without anyone calling you on it.

From @WSJopinion: The media won’t talk about this, and Republicans are so far missing in action, but Americans need to understand the stakes. Biden’s entitlement proposal is the biggest long-term economic threat in his agenda, writes The Editorial Board. on.wsj.com/3AloxWB

🇺🇸 CONGRATS, MR. MASHINSKI, who this week received the VFW Post 477 Teacher of the Year award and a VFW National Citizenship Education Award Citation. He's been a @FlyCVEagles social studies teacher since 1992! 🎉 #ThankYOU for all you do for our students and community! #CVproud

How can it be that I can walk up to any ATM in the WORLD, insert my card, enter my PIN and receive the dollar amount requested. The machine knows who I am! and I’ve been able to do this since the 80’s but we can’t figure out a way to identity a legitimate voter?

Did anyone else notice @JoeBiden was uniquely prepared to answer certain questions? @realDonaldTrump

It's been a tough year so far for many of our faculty and students, but we are resilient. We will continue to improve our plans and options while staying safe. Our challenges only serve to define us if we let them - the way we are shaped by them is up to us. #cvproud @CVSDnews

Have you heard?
