Universities should not sign "compacts" with the government determining what they teach and how. It's the kind of intrusive breech of civil society that conservatives long warned against.

MAGA logic: the president cannot deploy troops during an actual insurrection on the capital without the approval of the speaker of the house, but he is allowed to deploy them to states all over the country simply because they voted blue in the last election. Do I have that about right?

A lot of extreme 2A nuts say they need guns to fend off the government. Surely they don't support troops being deployed to US cities, right? ...that's what they'll use those guns to stop, right?

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

If any other Federal employee sent a partisan memo like the one (unsigned, unauthored, cowards) sent to "all VA mailboxes" at 5:30 pm today (about Democrats who "refuse to sign a clean CR") they'd be fired.

Yesterday, the Attorney General asserted that "hate speech" is not free speech. Today, the President asserted that speech that is "mean" or "unfair' to him is "hate speech". Water funparks have slopes that are less slippery than this.

A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”

As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

These are facts: 1. Pam Bondi was Florida AG from 2011-2019. 2. Despite survivor accounts & law suits during this time, she pursued NO CHARGES against Epstein. 3. Trump appointed Bondi as US Attorney General. 4. Bondi just closed the DOJ investigation into Epstein.

So. Steel production is relatively small slice of the American economy. Steel itself? *Very widely used throughout the American economy. See the problem? (I mean, see the problem beyond the entire global economy being held hostage to the whims of one guy who doesn’t understand the economy?)

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

Watch Conan's speech after he accepts the Mark Twain Prize from Letterman. Whole show is good, (they always are) but that speech by the Harvard grad made me cry. Sketchy board chairs be damned, what the world knows about the US (& the Kennedy Center) will survive. Keep on rockin' in the free world!
