Columbia University has agreed to terms set by the Trump administration in order to retain its federal funding. This includes a mask ban, and it’s unclear whether and how health exceptions would be implemented for people who, for example, are immunocompromised.

Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing
Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.

Such a great point. DOGE isn't saving, they're wasting. “Canceling [government contracts] now yields the taxpayers no return on their investment,” said a statement from American Institutes for Research. ... “This is an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.”

Went to report the mislabeling of the #GulfofMexico as an incorrect place, but that's not an option, (un)surprisingly.

How new NCAA policy affects transgender athletes after Trump’s order
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that seeks to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. What could that mean for college athletes?

“News reports claim I am anti-vaccine…I am not,” RFK Jr. said in his opening statement to the Senate Finance Committee. At that, a protester in the audience, shouted, “You lie.” She was removed from the hearing room by Capitol Hill police. The protester was right.

It took RFK Jr. just six minutes to lie to Congress
Trump's HHS nominee is indeed anti-vaccine.
