Like... part of how we got here is his own party disliked him and Rubio so much as candidates in 2016 primary voters burned the party down rather than vote for either of them?????

The declining scores are part of a longer trend, last I saw any longitudinal data. Again, I didn't mean to imply there's an easy answer and I knew it, simply that distance learning alone, done briefly several years ago now, also doesn't seem to explain the trends entirely

The causes might just be multi-modal!

I'm also curious if they're ever going to consider this stuff roughly coincides with the massive changes to how they teach, say, math. Is it possibly the new math methodology is maybe not working as well as could be hoped, especially when it made it basically impossible for most parents to help.

To me the writing was what suffered in season two, what I watched of that season was definitely due only to her.

And there's no outside crisis coming in January-- where's the pressure for airports to function, spring break?

Especially when the last 10 months have been pretty much endless torture for them. What faith does anyone have these "concessions" actually win Feds anything?

Idk why they allegedly believe the administration is going to do as they're told here. They haven't about anything else

They put all this in motion with DOGE, the shutdown is hardly the only mess here!

I was shocked enough by Humble but when we got to Abilene that was spit-take level.

Good Lord. The lady in my meeting was from Boston. It was wild that she was in a city of transplants and somehow never considered that joke wasn’t going to be a major laugh line.

I was in an actual meeting once where someone started making jokes about why bother, no one in the South can use a computer. Half that room reverted to our natural accents with the quickness.

All that car did was its job and it was beautiful.

I recently let a 2004 Accord go and I miss the experience of driving a 2004 model every day.

They're about to be approximately 2.5 checks short if this keeps going through this week, and it seems like it will.

And most Feds are paid biweekly, so October was a partial check and then no check for many.

There have been numerous follow ups where people talked about the lost jobs in the trades and manufacturing that occurred when all the IRA projects were canceled! What was it, Maine, where a guy was interviewed saying they had work booked for years in his union and now there's nothing?

On the one hand, the first Presidential vote I ever cast was for Obama. On the other hand, I had no idea I was never going experience a positive... anything... as an adult other than that.

I can say with absolute certainty my mom has no clue how I really feel now or felt then about the corporal punishments. I suspect she also thinks that because she didn’t do it a lot everything was fine.
