@CaitlinPacific 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.

@oraclealexx @sam_d_1995 Reporting has indicated public transit, which carries a lot more riders, is up about 10%

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.

Picture says a thousand words. Crystal clear story being told nationally right now.

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

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.

@marymcnamara @SSantiagoMayer I was at an early voting site on Sunday, with a friend who’d never voted before. They kept announcing several first time voters

@fprosk Best source for plebiscite results tonight?

[Eric Allen Conner @eaconner]

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?

Reminder that in the 2018 election, native born Texans broke for Beto, while people that moved to Texas gave the seat to Ted Cruz.

@eaconner @NJTRANSIT How can we support

[Russell @Intlreading]

@CarlosGSmith @GlenGilzean Amén!

@PCarroll2024 @davidhogg111 Having to wait more than a few minutes is totally unacceptable. Governments that don’t plan for high turn out in presidential years are actively discouraging voting, and it’s not ok.

[Russell @Intlreading]

@MoonScott62435 @RickBakas @davidplouffe Also, the President always gets to pick their entire cabinet. He picked them, and they ended up unwilling to support him. They know better than any of us.

[Russell @Intlreading]

@MoonScott62435 @RickBakas @davidplouffe Mnuchin, for one

[Russell @Intlreading]

@RickBakas @davidplouffe Am I wrong in thinking 40 of his 44 cabinet members aren’t supporting him this time?

Like…if almost none of the people who best know your work can’t support you…

Literally his hand-picked team

[Russell @Intlreading]

@eaconner That would make needing to take the #PATHTrain great

[Russell @Intlreading]

@CaraballoCueto Veremos el alcance de su poder en las elecciones presidenciales el martes. A ver cómo están los resultados en Orlando y Allentown.

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

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.
