So does the GOP force all of its candidates to prove they’ve physically and/or sexually assaulted a woman before they can run as a Republican? Sorta like a gang initiation?

First, the part that is true: It's a bad time to be looking for a job. Durations of unemployment and long-term are rising, which is uncommon outside of a recession.

People are doing what now?? I thought belittling and harassing grad students was one of the few joys left to some academics…but they’ll even outsource that.

Again, a constitutional order that cannot prevent this - literally, the most minimal, baseline standard of the rule of law & the plain meaning of the text of the document - is not really worth saving.

Once again, it has been incredibly sad, in the last few years, to see laid bare, in ways that were surely always there but are masks off now, just how many of our academic colleagues & university leaders simply aren't interested in the actual project of education. Just go do something else. Please.

I stopped reading after the lie in the first sentence: "Most college professors I know believe that students learn to think — critically, creatively, reflectively, tenaciously — only by writing." "<only> by writing"? Literally, no one thinks this. Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.
