More than half of American adults read below a sixth-grade level
More than half of American adults read below a sixth-grade level
The number of American adults who read below a sixth-grade level is at its highest point ever, creating what experts call a "silent crisis" that affects the economy, health care and communities nationwide.

"The study examined the 2022 state elections and found 39% of adults had completed high school or less, yet 74% of ballots were written well above the high school level. The investigation also revealed how lower literacy rates could affect voter turnout"

Bravo Governor Newsom. He calls it like it is and he does not bend his knees to a wanna-be tyrant/dictator. We need more leaders like him in Congress to fight fascism.

Today, @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom held productive meetings to secure funding for LA's recovery.
Trump turned his back on survivors by refusing to even meet with us.
His promise to ‘take care’ of survivors was clearly a lie.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.

In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms.
11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.
That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.
