Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns
The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

Trump says he cares about the world, but he really cares more about having leaders bend the knee and kiss the ring

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

Since the Pandemic, it's seemed like it's been mostly math scores lagging, but with the release of the latest NAEP scores, safe to say America's achievement issues span across content. Makes me think we may need to invest in teachers..

Good to see ~some~ R's in TN sticking up for actual fiscal conservatism and opposing the anti-public school giveaways the Gov is trying to push through. Most evidence points to vouchers harming student achievement not to mention limiting funds for the rest of public schools.
