Bullet points of How Elon Musk’s endorsement of Trump may have backfired
- Elon Musk's endorsement of Donald Trump has been met with criticism from the Democratic party, with some calling it a vulnerability for Trump's campaign.
- Musk's anti-worker stances have been highlighted by the Kamala Harris campaign, which has attacked him for his views on labor unions and his handling of strikes.
- The Harris campaign has also criticized Trump for his comments on labor unions, saying he is out of touch with working-class Americans.
- Musk's endorsement has not had the desired effect, with some Democratic strategists saying it has actually fired up the Democratic base to work against Trump.
- The criticism of labor unions is likely to motivate part of the Democratic base, particularly in strong union states like Michigan.
- Musk has a long record of opposing organized labor and has fought allegations of illegal anti-worker activity at his companies Tesla, SpaceX, and X.
- The Harris campaign is likely to continue highlighting the Musk-Trump alliance, which they see as reinforcing Trump's weak points.

Summary of Schools stare down fiscal cliff as federal pandemic aid runs out
#nevent1q…8kgg
The article discusses the financial challenges facing school districts in the United States as the federal pandemic aid, which was designed to help schools recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to expire. The aid, which totaled $190 billion, has helped schools make progress in addressing the pandemic's impact, but its expiration will force districts to make tough decisions, including cutting jobs, increasing class sizes, and reducing programs. High-poverty schools and urban districts will be particularly affected, and districts that spent their one-time relief dollars on ongoing expenses will have to cut back. The article also highlights the challenges facing schools in terms of staffing, including the need for mental health professionals and the difficulty of retaining teachers.
