Fewer than half of voters think their member of Congress deserves another term, according to a Gallup poll.
Only 43 percent of voters said their member should be reelected, and only 15 percent felt most members of Congress should be able to keep their seats. wapo.st/4zb96hH

Ready for sunsets before 5 p.m.? 🌅 Daylight Saving Time ends one week from today, on Sunday, November 1, meaning most of the U.S. will turn clocks back one hour and say goodbye to daylight before dinner.
Here's a look at just how early the sun will set in cities across the country after the time change.

The number of people writing dissertations in the humanities has collapses, now the same thing is happening in the social sciences.
I'd wager that we will see a similar trend in psychology and other fields before long. Cuts in funding, the tight academic job market, and AI are rapidly changing the university and cratering graduate programs.

We must re-establish the train between NYC and the Catskills/Poconos. The rails are already there! The passenger runs continued through the 1960s, and the rails are still used for freight.
How far are you willing to go for your chance at the American Dream? Since the completion of I-80 in the 1970s, generations of New Yorkers have decamped to the Poconos, transforming a cluster of towns & enduring 3hr roundtrip commutes to their jobs in NYC. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…
