I live in Arizona. There are no Democrats for Andy Biggs, even on his best day and this ain’t it. Democrats will be voting for Governor Katie Hobbs. If you zoom in you can see that the culprit is Turning Point Action, the political action arm of Turning Point USA.

This Andy Burnham speech is simply extraordinary. I’d had pretty much given up on ever hearing a UK leader talk like this again. Took 40 years. youtu.be/gT6b9Opy69E?...

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

University research programs provide training for people who teach from high school to college level to graduate level. Cutting these programs not only forecloses on future discoveries but also undermines our ability to maintain expertise in current knowledge.

Historically in summits with China and Russia the US traded allowing the foreign tyrant to share an international stage with the POTUS for concessions on things like trade and human rights. Now the US side of the trade has become Trump getting to share the stage with his foreign counterpart.

Years ago I was talking with students about how much detail I was teaching for a math problem. Student: "Why do we have to learn this? When we are working we can just look it up in a book" Me: "Yes, you can look things up in books, but at the end of the day you do have to know something."
