If the US believed in standardized measurements of educational achievement, it could require such measurements. Instead US educationalists prefer to believe that measuring learning outcomes somehow denigrates the students.

NBC News exit poll: Trump is making *double-digit gains* with Latino voters. They're currently breaking 53% for Harris and 45% for Trump. In 2020, Latinos went 65% for Biden and 32% for Trump.

Well, the Selzer poll looks like it might have been among the worst of the cycle. Harris is likely to lose Iowa by 8-10 at this point. Very different from the D 3 result she had.

Oh, and while I’m on this, I was shocked to learn from @jimmybot that @PANYNJ spends more twice as much on its police force each year than it does on running the trains ($820m vs $300m).
Maybe cut the police force in half and double the number of trains and crews, @PANYNJ?

On the flip side, it’s amazing watching every second or third person hop the turnstile or walk right through the handicap gate.
I really don’t know why PATH bothers to block off half the turnstiles with the big wrought iron fence. They aren’t monitoring the ones that are open!

Reminder that in the 2018 election, native born Texans broke for Beto, while people that moved to Texas gave the seat to Ted Cruz.
Um I was born here. Are you admitting most Republicans in Texas are carpetbaggers?

The fact that the range in the average poll error between the last two elections in the blue wall states is 10-12 points is pretty wild.

Since 2018, historians have ranked Trump as one of the 4 worst presidents. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor…. The only presidents ranked worse were in office just before or at the end of the Civil War.

Trump: "I'm the greatest president there's ever been. I said, what about George Washington? No, you're better. What about Lincoln? What about Abraham Lincoln? Nope, you're better."

If the trains ran every 5 minutes, it would be fine. But the wait was 22 minutes. #path-etic

Anyone think @PATHTrain needs to run more frequent trains on weekends?

This is the 3rd (possibly the 300th?) night in a row that there are no bikes available in Journal Square.
When will @CitiBikeNYC fix this?

#Citibike has stopped engaging with me because it’s the same story night after night and it never changes.
Some neighbors don’t matter.

@CitiBikeNYC your system needs bikes in order to have value. #journalsquare #jsq never has any bikes in the evenings

Your website says the 14 Bus stops at Alton Rd & 4th St but there’s no stop and the driver insisted passengers cannot get on the bus there. If there isn’t a stop, I recommend you add one and update your website. What’s the right answer?

It would be nice if you had a single bike available at least half the time I want one #Citibike
