Only 6% of Massachusetts newcomer students graduated proficient in English, according to the Boston Globe's reporting on a new Brown University study. Migrant high school enrollment across the state fell from more than 6,400 to roughly 5,300 in a single year. Nobody is hiding these numbers. The question is what anyone intends to do about them.
Also in today's episode: a Wisconsin brewery known for promising free beer the day President Trump dies has been hit with a state revocation notice, and the owner says he will fight it to the end. Elon Musk quietly launched a bank inside X, with a Visa card, direct deposit and a 6% yield attached to it. The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump is pressing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to move faster on cutting the childhood vaccine schedule. And with the midterms closing in, the RNC reports 129 million dollars on hand against the DNC's 16.3 million, a spread most of the coverage is burying.
Plus five rapid-fire stories to open the show: a nationwide FAA ground stop, Iran's attempted surprise missile strike on U.S. forces, a fifth round of terminations at DNI, a new director of national intelligence confirmed by the Senate, and a governor calling on Senator Mitch McConnell to speak publicly or resign.
Six stories. Seven o'clock. The truth starts now.
