Fundamentally, Mike Pompeo doesn’t understand what is happening in our schools or the work of our union to support our students. He talks about literacy but fails to see the work we’ve done in promoting the joy of reading and giving out a million books.

After calling me more dangerous! than Putin, and Xi Jinping, Mike Pompeo downgraded my dangerousness, in a column for The Post, to merely the most dangerous person in the United States—on the same day Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes was convicted of sedition.

Well, we agree — to them, our sister is a threat to their anti-worker, anti-women, anti-American agenda.

Randi Weingarten: It's shocking to me, given Rev. Warnock's record, just how close the Nov 8 election was. I think it was b/c people saw it as a referendum on who controls the US Senate. He's the embodiment of what we want in a Senator.
