Think about the core tenets of American conservatism: a government serving 300 million people and leading the world should be “small” and that we should orient all policy around servicing the rich so that they throw us gruel. It’s fucking stupid and we should say so.

Trump is getting ready to lift sanctions on Russia so his family and oligarchs can make billions by purchasing Lukoil's profitable overseas assets for less than they are worth. This sale would be a bribe from Putin. That is all Trump wants.

I find this claim, which is now common in right-wing ed discourse, really astonishing. It rests at the core of the post-truth vision of "viewpoint diversity": we should not teach the conclusions that research shows to be correct; rather, we should validate empirically discredited ideas just because.
Fostering this civic orientation does not mean teaching students the “right” way to think or act
according to a preferred political or moral perspective. A transformative education is premised
on developing sound judgment, not on delivering correct conclusions.

In a filing yesterday in Kennedy Center case, Rep Beatty says defendants have “categorically refused" to provide ordered discovery on Trump’s threats to close or demolish the Center if his name doesn’t go back on the façade. … 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Perhaps most starkly, Defendants have categorically refused to respond to admissions regarding Plaintiff's Supplemental Authority, which addressed two separate threats by Chairman Trump to close or demolish the Kennedy Center if he was not adequately recognized.
Defendants objected and withheld a response on the basis that such information is outside the scope of discovery, despite this Court expressly authorizing discovery by minute order into that precise topic. On Defendants' telling, although "the information requested" is the " 'subject' of Plaintiff's Notice of Supplemental Authority and facially within the Court's minute order," it is not "related to the 'substance, justification, mechanics, and process' of the Board at its August and September meetings." This directly violates the Court's minute order which made crystal clear that this is a topic for discovery.
