Potentially groundbreaking vaccine for seasonal flu that Moderna had developed would not be getting approval from regulators. It wasn’t even getting formal consideration, Moderna announced Tuesday, because officials were refusing to accept the application. www.thebulwark.com/p/this-is-wh...

Legislators Call for Employment Commitments From Netflix and Paramount as They Seek to Merge With Warner Bros. Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Laura Friedman asked CEOs for specifics on how they will “preserve and expand good-paying film and television jobs in Los Angeles.”

Opinion | What MAGA Sees in the Minnesota Mirror

Protests make MAGA mad. Journalism makes MAGA mad. Accountability makes MAGA mad. And the anger keeps building until a single sentence starts to spread across the length and breadth of Trump’s base: “Invoke the Insurrection Act.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

This Photo Shows the Way Forward Victory without accountability is dangerous.

No talk of “winning” until ICE & BP have completely left the streets of MN. That’s the rock-bottom condition. To tolerate anything less would be insult to people of MN. The Trump admin is making tactical retreat in the hopes of salvaging larger strategic goals. www.thebulwark.com/p/this-photo...

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.

A visual rubric designed as a spiderweb chart on a red background, showing eight categories for evaluating a science project: Introduction, Variables & Controls, Hypothesis, Methods, Data Collection, Graphing, C-E-R & Analysis, and Evaluation. Each category has four numbered levels, with certain numbers highlighted in blue to indicate scores. The right side displays a turquoise spiderweb plot connecting the scores across categories, illustrating performance levels. White icons next to each label represent the scientific process steps.

What’s a spiderweb rubric, and how can it help students see assessments as feedback, not final judgments? 🕸️ High school science teacher Eileen Ng explains—and shares an editable version you can use in your classroom: https://edut.to/42ppMnp

“Classrooms today are composed of increasingly diverse skills, instructional needs, learning preferences, and language proficiencies. The teacher-led station in the station rotation model gives educators a structure to embrace that diversity rather than feel overwhelmed by it. When small group instruction becomes a regular part of Tier 1 instruction, differentiation shifts from being an occasional accommodation to an everyday best practice.” —Catlin Tucker, Author, Speaker & Trainer
