KRISTEN WELKER: If Democrats win the midterms do you want to see Leader Jeffries become the speaker of the House? MAYOR-ELECT ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Yes. KRISTEN WELKER: Okay. That was a firm, quick answer.

WATCH: Louisiana and Mississippi aren’t the punchlines they used to be. They’ve led the nation in reading gains in recent years. If you’re mocking them in 2025, you haven’t been paying attention. cc: @MikieSherrill @Jack4NJ

"We're defining success in a way that reflects our community values..not someone else's" Dr. Reid unveils the Future Readiness Index, an effort to push back on new state accountability standards w a counter narrative that will allow FCPS to rely on various academic & non-academic metrics (such as degree of belonging & community involvement) to represent that FCPS is doing terrifically, no matter what the state standards say.

On this website, anytime you suggest that Dems should mount a heterodox appeal that combines economic populism with right-leaning stances on cultural issues, you get a bunch of people saying “who are you going to throw under the bus??” Yet a lot of those same people then back candidates like Dan Osborn who (correctly, imo) combine economic populism with right-leaning cultural stances. The purity-test pretext is a scam — “I will never compromise” yields clicks and donations for individual candidates and clout-chasers on here, but obfuscates on the important question of where the party needs to go. It would be better if everyone was just open and honest about how this is a winning formula in the red states Dems need to win to be competitive in the Senate and not continue to steadily lose ground in the electoral college.

Today, we learned that in 2024, nearly 80% of high school seniors were not proficient in math and nearly two-thirds of them were not proficient in reading. That is unacceptable. We can no longer go along with the status quo. It’s time to return education to the states.
