In case u thought our judicial system couldn’t get worse, Bari Weiss & Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale co-founded a “university,” which announced a “new initiative to build the future of legal education, with support from the Federalist Society” co-chaired by Catholic Right activist Leonard Leo. 1/

Big news!
There are giant gaps in what COULD exist vs what does, in SO many areas of our top universities these days. Education, journalism, sociology, law, etc - are badly ideologically captured and broken.
Excited for @uaustinorg to set higher standards for our civilization.

The Texas Republican Party is made up of authoritarians, racists, misogynists, perverts, and criminals. It’s powered by right-wing Christians, MAHA influencers, and fascist-curious tech bros. If you want to see what the GOP after Trump looks like, it’s Texas. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-future-o...

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org
WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January. 

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.

Good. Seriously. Please let Trump pick every SEC coach. Let him make every decision for the entire conference. The only way we'll ever break Trump fever in that part of America is to let him get involved with their college football decisions because they care deeply about that shit

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

It may be a small thing, but notable that the federal government issued an official statement about a *shooting* that includes at least one detail directly contradicted by local authorities. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...
McLaughlin said the woman who was shot
"drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds." But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near 39th Street and Pershing Road and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.
The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified ICE's account of the traffic stop.
