I'm just gonna put this out there. Democrats, voters need fighters, not statesmen/women. We'd rather see you fight, & maybe not win, than roll over and pee yourselves.

Trump: "I say that our soybeans -- I told this to President Xi -- our soybeans are more nutritious than competitors. Somebody said, 'Is that a Trump statement, or is that real?' You know who asked me that question? President Xi. But that's what I hear."

Yes. This is why most literacy researchers are skeptical about the science of reading, or solely using phonics-based approaches (although decoding is important!).
We definitely have a reading comprehension crisis, especially on (but not limited to) the Internet.

People don't understand what is meant by "literacy" and the "literacy crisis".
Literacy isn't just not being able to physically read. Many people know how to see words and say words, which is basic reading. Literacy is being able to infer the correct information from what you read.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

Seeing this news is so weird for me because in 1989 when I was a baby 25-year-old corporate litigator in Manhattan, one of the first things I worked on was Warner Communications Inc.'s defense against a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Communications Inc.
