Pleased to have i like to say that its a washington based think tank. We have from arizona, tennessee and pennsylvania, and they will talk about how some of the issues in washington affect the children and parents in those parts of the country and really, thats what our discussion is all about. How can we make our schools better. Now, a little bit a sense of how i come to this issue and why i think its so important. Some of you may know i spent 20 years in the social services in new york and working on the ways we help people get into work and out of poverty and move up economically. Personal responsibility, work, work supports, those things were important, but i always knew there was another domain, another domain of activity that was equally important to our safety net programs.

And no one has done more, it seems
Of manhattan, alvin bragg. I want to give you one piece of context here. Thats an individual at a Law Enforcement level whos not been nationally famous. Indeed, most people around the country following the show in utah, for example, wouldnt be able to name the random d. A. S in random cities. Yet, this is the d. A. That donald trump has been publicly targeting since the manhattan d. A. Indicted donald trump. Now i say with precision because thats a fact.

Counsel jack smith. The 45page indictment accuses the former e president of three counts of conspiracy and one count of obstruction for his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Culminating in the january 6th attacks on the u. S. Capitol. Heres the Special Counsel tuesday after the charges were handed up.

Research on another asteroid. Good morning, everyone and thank you for being here. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History where we are so excited to be able to share a sample of asteroid bennu. Im happy to welcome our friends from nasa, especially my dear friend and colleague, former astronaut and senator, administrator now. You may wonder why the museum of Natural History is displaying the asteroid but it makes perfect sense for the museum focused on planet earth to present this sample to the american people.
