This California Educational Juggernaut Doesn’t Need the SAT www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/o... The thought that universities need to be selective needs to end. We need to invest in education. We need to stop judging universities based on the kids that enter and judge them on how well they teach

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o... I support immigration of highly educated people from around the world. I also understand some of the frustration of Americans. American K-12 education is so unequal, higher education so expensive and so many get left behind that it is hard to see us import talent.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Weird article. Ohio State fans are not talking about the UM loss. So we slipped up at home before going on a tear to win the NC. “The Game” just doesn’t matter as much. It used to ruin your season, now it is a road bump. Call us soft, but we got the ring and we didn’t cheat to get it.

Median-gate is really heating up. It is clear that leading Democrats, aided by no one other than George Soros, were taking bribes to “keep Americas medians ugly”. George has huge holdings in drab grey concrete that is known to crack and stain. It is all coming to light! #mediangate

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.
