6th grade, Mrs. Loop, Island of the Blue Dolphins and/or The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
I can’t remember the year, but probably Jr. High (now called “Middle School”), but a male teacher — unfortunately can’t remember his name — read us ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ (by Alexander Dumas, released in chapters from 1844 to 1846). He did it yearly. Took all semester, as I recall. Mr. Jensen?

It’s crucial to remember-Susan Monarez was appointed CDC Director by Trump She’s not a Democrat they can claim has some agenda She’s MAGA And she’s saying that RFK, Jr is ignoring science about vaccines Which will cause more epidemics like the measles outbreak in Texas So more children will die
Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago. As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Once Democrats take Congress, they should remove the Second Amendment with a "coding error." Prest-O change-O, that was easy!
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

i can see this one is going to get a lot of use
Daily Mail now is reporting "Bill Clinton wrote 'warm & gushing' letter included in Jeffrey Epstein's infamous 50th 'birthday book." Ok. If files show Bill Clinton is guilty of being a client, as a long-time supporter of the ex-President I can say he should go to prison. Sad but not difficult

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump. The law *explicitly allows* unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities. This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.
