Congress is facing another funding fight, with Democrats showing no incentive to help, while Trump\u2019s National Guard deployment in Chicago has leaders like JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson scrambling to spin crime stats. Even MSNBC admits the city may need Trump\u2019s help. Meanwhile, teachers unions are joining a boycott against Target \u2014 proving once again they\u2019re more focused on politics than kids. From $50M funneled into political groups to rants about \u201cpharaohs\u201d and velour, the fight is as absurd as it sounds. Special guest Nicki Neily of Defending Education joins to share what parents should watch for as their kids head back to school, the craziest things she\u2019s seen from radical school districts, and how her group is holding administrators accountable. And in our YCMIU segment: Tim Walz puts his foot in his mouth again \u2014 this time talking about Trump dying.
