Last July, I wrote about a struggling high school in D.C. where 100% of the seniors graduated and were accepted by colleges. The story appeared on NPR, and I wrongly assumed that they had done fact checking. I am not a reporter, and I do not have a staff to check out claims. NPR does.

I don’t care about Snowden. He’s now history. What concerns me is Trump and the totally corrupt Republican Party. I hope Trump and the GOP will be history soon and exist no more.
