As I discussed last night with Rachel Maddow, after I published my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON," which exposes Russian disinfo ops aimed at the US to help Trump, the Russians dragged me into a disinfo op attacking Dems in the midterms. See my OUR LAND newsletter: link.motherjones.com/public/47685...

This is true: I look at Labour's neglect of higher ed in the UK - a complete own goal that made the country worse off and undermined a major export industry.

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.

My new favorite news photo. The ugliness of these people just leaps right out at you.

Reuters photo (I checked that it's real) showing Trump glaring belligerently at the camera, with Melania behind him looking like she'd like to rip the photographers throat out, and Xi watching them both with a mild bemused expression.

Having just started teaching new undergraduates at uni, I think we're missing a key issue in the debate about AI: these kids do not know how *not* to use AI, full stop. We assume they are 'digital natives' but they are not and a Google Scholar search is as alien to them as an archival card-index.

This is a familiar pattern that repeats itself every time Republicans get on this voter fraud kick. Another familiar pattern is Republicans who complain about voter fraud not living where their voter registration says they do.

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.

The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

Trump stole taxpayer $$ to destroy the White House and replace it with a firetrap and too few ladies stalls. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

McCrery informed the White House that Trump’s ballroom design did not meet fire safety codes, which require the majority of guests to be able to quickly exit through the main entrance during an emergency, according to the people and documents. The architect also pointed out that alternative emergency exit routes out of the building were insufficient, and that there was little in the design to prevent a kitchen fire from rapidly spreading into the event space on the floor above.

In addition to fire safety concerns, Trump’s desired ballroom design did not include enough toilets to accommodate the structure’s maximum occupancy, according to documents, and there were few options for adding more, as the event space occupied most of the building’s footprint. One early ballroom design featured just seven stalls in the women’s bathroom.

1. I don't think "Natalie shows the president some cable news clips and he gets mad" is a good way to do national security policy. 2. Trump does not "cherish" the "Free Press," he loves outlets that praise him and despises critical coverage. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Trump post: The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
