It is now very clear that word was going around GOP circles that Schmitt was definitely going to take down and humiliate Jack Smith, which makes the *opposite* happening even more delicious.

The decline of confidence in higher ed may tell us more about trust than previously understood. AAC&U + Morning Consult polling found virtually no difference between how adults respond when asked about confidence versus trust. AAC&U's Kathryn Enke digs into what that means: bit.ly/4ADQ1Gb

Confidence is a Proxy for Trust
New poll results from AAC&U and Morning Consult show that trust in higher education mirrors confidence in the sector.

1. Democrats win control of the House and Senate. 2. Investigations and prosecutions begin. 3. Impeachment and removal proceedings. 4. Take back the billions of taxpayer money corruptly taken by the Trump family and their accomplices. 5. Rinse and repeat.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
