I know that the popular consensus around here is that Ellison brought Weiss in to purposefully wreck CBS and, ostensibly, CNN. But I always believed that Ellison is a moron and Weiss sold him on the idea of siphoning RWers from Fox is far more likely reality.

Millions of people deluding themselves into believing this despite being told otherwise (by the person they voted for!) will be studied for decades.

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.

There are lots of ways to answer this and one of them is that studying history makes you a better citizen and our public universities have an obligation to produce good citizens. History education is essential to a republican model of government. Engineering is not.

Once again, the imperial presidency, created by both parties since WWII, was a grave mistake. It was designed for an era that no longer exists, in which we had two normal pro-democracy political parties. It is now being weaponized by far right authoritarians & we can never do that again.

The meaningful divide in the Democratic party for the foreseeable future is going to be a lot less about center vs left ideology and a lot more about people who grasp this vs people who don’t.

The polls are so bad that a pro-ICE Kansas Republican is now preemptively begging ICE to not shoot one of his constituents now that they're active in his state

When ICE operates in Kansas, it needs to coordinate with our local law enforcement. Our sheriffs and police know these communities better than anyone, and working together keeps officers and residents safe.
I'm closely following what's happening in SW Kansas and have been in direct contact with Secretary Mullin and local law enforcement as ICE executes warrants in order to keep Kansans safe.
