For MSNOW, I wrote about the Trump administration threatening to strip colleges of their tax-exempt status as part of its larger segregationist agenda.

Fun Cardinals stat: If games ended after 6 innings, St. Louis would be 61–48–19 through Aug. 19. They’re 8–5 (.615) in extra-inning games, so using that rate to break the 19 ties gives them a hypothetical 73–55 record (.570), or a 92-win pace. Their actual record: 65–63. #STLCards

"A big problem for trust in government is that high-quality governance is usually invisible. When the various agencies designed to protect the American people from all manner of threats are working perfectly, most potential disasters are detected and prevented before they happen."

The Protecting Resources and Ensuring Stewardship of Enduring Records of Visual Expression (or PRESERVE) bill doesn't go far enough. This article also contains the @newrepublic.com's articles on the Cohen Building back to Sept 2025. #NewDeal

The White House is a construction site, the South Lawn is brown, the Reflecting Pool is green, and the National Mall is wrapped in fencing. Construction cranes, National Guard troops, and portable restrooms are everywhere. All of this on our 250th birthday, as if no one realized it was coming.

"The fight over this $67.6 million is about much more than a budget formula. The lawsuit is a test of whether city residents can decide how to spend their own money or whether the police’s trump card will continue to drain communities of vital services. And the implications are nationwide." #STL

Administrator after reading on bluesky: "turns out they don't need desks and offices, because they can write in short snatches of time, in cafes, on trains, and at the breakfast table, so let's sell the building to a property developer and give them a shared cubicle to meet students in occasionally"

Ran across this in a bound volume of articles at Washington University in St. Louis that I doubt anyone has looked at since, well, maybe 1955. #STL
