(The Center Square) – Texas’ first school choice program launched on Wednesday with 20,000 students having applied by noon. The program application process opened at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at EducationFreedom.Texas.Gov. Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock announced the successful launch of Texas’ new Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program stating that nearly 8,000 applications were filed in the first hour. By noon, more than 20,000 students had applied “for the largest yar-one school choice initiative in the nation.” The comptroller’s office is managing the program. “Today marks an exciting new chapter for Texas families,” Hancock said. “The Texas Education Freedom Accounts program is about one simple idea: Every child deserves an education that fits their unique needs. By opening the application process, we’re putting parents in the driver’s seat and giving them more flexibility to choose the learning environment where their child can thrive.” The program becomes effective in the 2026–27 school year and provides taxpayer-funded ESA grants of $10,000 to roughly 100,000 students through a pilot program created by a new law. ESA funds will be made available to eligible parents to send their child to a school of their choice, for private school tuition, educational expenses for homeschoolers, tutoring, career and technical education programs, among other expenses. In the first 10 days of receiving educator applications, Hancock said roughly 600 private schools and prekindergarten providers and more than 200 education service providers, including tutors, had applied statewide. That number has since surpassed 1,400 and grows daily, The Center Square reported. "With Texas Education Freedom Accounts, more parents can choose the learning environment that’s best for their child and more students will be able to reach their unique potential," Gov. Greg Abbott said, lauding the program. "I encourage Texas families to apply for the program which puts parents in the driver's seat of their child's education. This program puts Texas on the pathway to become the No. 1 state for education.” “Governor Abbott’s unwavering leadership made this moment possible for Texas families,” Hancock added. Hancock voted for the bill that established the program and dedicated $1 billion for it when he was a state senator. Abbott appointed him to the comptroller position last year; he’s running for the position in the March primary election. For more than 20 years, both Republicans and Democrats in the Texas House opposed a taxpayer-funded subsidy to allow families to send their child to a private school of their choice, arguing funds would be taken away from public schools and that taxpayer money should not fund private school education. The Texas Senate repeatedly passed a bill creating ESAs for several legislative sessions but it always died in the Republican-controlled House – until last year. The tide turned in 2024 after Abbott campaigned for 16 House Republican candidates who challenged incumbents who opposed a bill he championed in 2023. Another five Republicans who opposed the bill didn’t run for reelection. Abbott’s endorsed Republican challengers won their primaries and runoff elections, vowing to vote for the state’s first ESA program, which they did. The tide also turned after the Texas House elected a new speaker, state Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, who vowed that the ESA bill would pass the House, which it did last April. Burrows also traveled with Abbott statewide promoting the bill, pledging multiple times on social media that it would pass, The Center Square reported. The Comptroller’s office has published an application checklist, a detailed guide and a video walk-through for families seeking to apply. “Our office is moving at business speed to deliver a user-friendly experience for every family who wants to participate,” Hancock said. “We are committed to implementing this program responsibly and transparently so families across Texas can take full advantage of the opportunities ahead.” Eligibility is based on economic need, not based on who applies first. Applications are prioritized by economic thresholds with disabled and low-income students at the top of the prioritization list. A lottery system will be used if applications exceed available funding. The application process ends March 17. The first award notifications are expected to be announced in early April.

(The Center Square) – As the midterm election season enters full swing, nearly a dozen major candidates are running to become Michigan’s next secretary of state. Up until Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II announced he would be joining the race, Ingham County Clerk Barbara Byrum seemed to have the backing of the Democrat party establishment. Gilchrist made the switch from running for governor to secretary of state in January – after struggling to take the lead in the race for governor. “I’m a public servant, an entrepreneur, a dad, a husband, and an engineer who spent a lot of my life making the government actually work for people," he said. "I’m not done with that, not by a long shot." Other Democrats in the race include former state Sen. Adam Hollier and lawyer Suzanna Shkreli, who gave TCS an exclusive interview about her campaign. As secretary of state, she said she would focus on modernizing Michigan’s elections and prioritizing service and trust. “I’m running because Michigan deserves a secretary of state who puts people first – not politics. Too many residents have experienced long lines, confusing systems, and obstacles that make it harder to get basic services or participate in democracy,” Shkreli said. “We need leadership that will protect voting rights, strengthen trust, and ensure our elections are secure and accessible for everyone.” On the Republican side, Timothy Smith, Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini, Oakland County precinct delegate Monica Yatooma, and Clarkston Community School District board trustee Amanda Love are all running. TCS also spoke with Forlini regarding his campaign. He explained that, as secretary of state, he would prioritize transparency, accountability, and service. “My business experience, local township experience, legislative experience, and now serving as Macomb County Clerk allows me to understand how systems work, and where procedures, protocols and standards need to be adjusted,” he said. “I care deeply for people and I love Michigan. I want to see our state thrive again.” Last weekend, the GOP held a sold-out secretary of state debate in the Detroit suburbs. Love and Yatooma appeared in the debate, but Forlini was absent due to scheduling conflicts. In a straw poll following the debate, Love received 54% of the vote and Yatooma 46%. Candidates for the secretary of state race will be nominated at respective Democrat and Republican party conventions. The Michigan Democratic Party convention is currently scheduled for April 19, while the Michigan Republican Party’s is scheduled for March 28. In Michigan, the secretary of state oversees several key functions, including the administration of elections, the issuance of driver's licenses and vehicle registrations, and consumer protection. In 272 days, Michigan will vote on its top three executive positions: governor, lieutenant governor, and secretary of state. Currently, all three of those are held by Democrats. Current Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson won the secretary of state election in 2022 with 55.9% of the vote. A Republican last won the seat in 2014. TCS reached out to all the secretary of state candidates for comment. Most did not respond by the time of this article’s publication.

Alex Saab, acusado de ser el supuesto "testaferro" del ex presidente venezolano, fue destituido hace dos semanas por la nueva presidenta interina. También ha sido capturado el empresario Raúl Gorrín Alex Saab, colaborador cercano de Maduro, había sido detenido en Cabo Verde en 2020 por lavado de dinero, extraditado a EEUU y retornó a Venezuela en 2023 tras un acuerdo con la Casa Blanca. Fuentes de inteligencia en Estados Unidos confirmaron a Caracol Radio que Saab, supuesto “testaferro” de Nicolás Maduro, ha sido capturado en Venezuela para su extradición a Estados Unidos. La captura, explica Radio Caracol, ha ocurrido en la madrugada en un operativo conjunto entre las autoridades venezolanas y el FBI. Caracol también informa de que el Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia Nacional lo tiene en su poder mientras se concreta su envío a EEUU.
