This school has 6% math proficiency and 16% reading proficiency.

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic. Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that. Hope that helps.

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions. That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

I decided to adopt a(nother) rescue puppy because the world being as it is, what else is one to do? And because I figured everyone else probably needs some puppy sunshine, too (and possibly without all the hassle), get ready for daily PUPPY PICS!
A black puppy with enormous paws is wrestling with a red and orange rope octopus kind of thing. Black puppy lying on his back asleep, with his pink puppy belly showing. He is half on, half off the rug, and is surrounded by various toys, all of which he has stolen from the big dog. Large black dog and black puppy lying in a gray linoleum floor in a kitchen. They appear calm and contented, the picture of brotherly love; but in reality both are just watching raptly as a sandwich is prepared.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
Exauctorate [eks-AWK-ter-it] (v.) - To deprive of authority; to depose or oust from office. - To dismiss from service; to deprive of a benefice. - To discharge.
 Used in a sentence: “Once that zounderkite is exauctorated, the record will show that no lubberwort was ever more deserving.”
A sepia-toned “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” graphic featuring the word “Exauctorate” with the pronunciation [eks-AWK-ter-it] and the definition “To deprive of authority; to depose or oust from office.” On the right, a vintage-style ink illustration shows a tiny-handed dumpy-looking figure reaching up to grab the crown that is being held up out of reach by another figure with a tricorne hat. A humorous example sentence appears at the bottom.
