In addition to killing literally millions of people and depriving more millions of health insurance, the GOP tax plan specifically targeted teachers. Why? Because the GOP is anti-education and targeting teachers was just a way of being mean to those noble people.

Correction: That deduction has been left alone. Whether teachers need pens and pencils or entire reams of Dunder Mifflin’s finest card stock, they can still deduct the cost as they could before.

This is how #FakeNews is spread. The ability of Russian spam-bots to spread fake stories is limited and exists largely in the imagination of the #Resistance and Never-Trumpers. Real #FakeNews is spread by morons with a massive social media profile.
