Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

“We can’t eat road salt” -Troy Jackson. One line showed all the problems Donald Trump has caused Susan Collins. She’s bragging on carveouts she gets thrown by the Trump administration on tariffs, but his larger trade war with Canada continues.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

"Paid for by the US Government": Trump is using taxpayer dollars to air pro-Trump TV ads, including a 2024 campaign ad. A GOP senator says no public official, including Trump, "should spend public money on private ads for themselves." @baylisswagner.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

1. I almost cried when I saw how many people picked “Catastrophe” as one of their favorite shows. No possible greater honor than having your peers fondly remember a show that wrapped up yrs ago. 2. I asked the NY Times if I could write an appreciation of “Girls5Eva” & they said no thanks.
