SCHOOLS: How Mississippi Fixed Its Schools Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

Mississippi's education turnaround demonstrates that large academic gains are possible even in a low-income state. The key factors cited are phonics-based literacy instruction, teacher training, accountability, and early intervention for struggling readers. The article contends that these evidence-based reforms can be replicated elsewhere if political leaders are willing to pursue them.

Grindr experienced a surge in outage reports in Dallas during the GOP's first national midterm convention, prompting jokes and speculation online. While similar claims have surfaced during previous Republican conventions, the available evidence only confirms an increase in user-reported problems, not a verified platform-wide outage or a proven link to convention attendees.

MEMORIALS: Airline Cancels Planned 9 11 Flyover in Denver Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

United Airlines planned a 9/11 remembrance flyover in Denver featuring a passenger jet escorted by fighter aircraft at the exact time United Flight 175 struck the World Trade Center's South Tower. After concerns that the imagery could alarm or traumatize the public, the airline canceled the flyover while continuing other anniversary memorial events.

A massive sinkhole opened in the driveway of a beachfront Malibu property reportedly owned by Nicolas Cage, leading city officials to declare a local emergency, evacuate dozens of homes, and warn that coastal erosion could cause further damage.

HONORING HEROES: Trump's Role in 9-11 Recovery Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

The Washington Post reports that while the ceremony celebrated the sacrifice of 9/11 victims and rescuers, it was also notable because Donald Trump repeated a disputed story about being removed from a potentially dangerous building near Ground Zero after the attacks. The claim has been questioned for years, and its repetition during a major anniversary event renewed scrutiny of the president's account.

A disruptive passenger allegedly launched into a racist and homophobic tirade, assaulted fellow travelers, and forced an American Airlines flight to divert to Baltimore. Crew members and passengers ultimately restrained him with zip ties and duct tape until authorities could take him into custody. The incident highlights the ongoing challenge airlines face in dealing with violent or unruly behavior at 30,000 feet.
