In virtually all other situations this would be fatal, but it is current GOP politics-- where the gotcha game must be strong, but not factual. He probably increased his odds at VP with this embarrassing audition.

They can't stand not visually being there for some major breaking story. It's so much easier to believe they are fighting for profit than for press freedom.

Out of everything that has transpired during the Trump administrations, the level of bromance that Trump has for dictators never ceases to amaze.

Teachers work second jobs because they are paid so little. Teachers use their own money or beg for donations to buy school supplies. Teachers work in school districts that provide little infrastructure or staff support. Yet, my man here thinks teaches have the energy for "woke" indoctrination.

The margin of error in this poll is +/- 4.3%. Let's slow the roll a bit. Texas for Democrats has been a pig with lots of lipstick.

This is an important victory for democracy, but the tragedy is that two SC judges will concur with ANYTHING Trump wants to do. The only way to safeguard against this extremism is to expand the Court.

The incentive structure in the current GOP-- do no lawmaking and simply appease the party leader to get support--is just what Fetterman is looking for.

This is not sustainable. A mature democracy depends on greater social equity, and it usually doesn't come by willingly or peacefully.

Here's the story from ASU's State Press. Of particular note, "An ASU spokesperson could not confirm whether the University's hiring committee read the full investigative report before hiring Scheufele." Was hired as Foundations Professor as "outstanding faculty." www.statepress.com/article/2026...

"Given the decades of evidence showing how rare noncitizen voting is, it’s unclear what the administration will discover, how verifiable any findings will be..." It's pretty clear what the administration will "discover." 🙄

Trump Administration Launches Hunt For Noncitizen Voter Fraud Before Midterms

Election fraud is exceedingly rare, but President Trump has fixated on rooting it out this year, claiming without evidence that tens of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote.

I don't know, man. If my whole brand was advancing the institution of higher learning that I lead as a beacon for American exceptionalism, I might be doing more to counter this attack on its very existence.

Perfect example of young/old generational differences. Needed tech support from CANVAS (school's learning management system). First checked online chat support. I was #120 in queue. Logged off and called the toll free number and got someone right away. Gen Z sure doesn't like to use the phone. 😅

If only the media was half as obsessed with the dismantling of American democracy as they are with British "non-working" royals, we might actually hold those in power to some level of account.

You couldn't make up a more dystopian story for researchers and universities than "the US funding agency is withholding $1 billion of its budget so that the money can go to a special White House project." Yet, college administrators refuse to engage in public collective pushback.

This is it. Data centers have become a target not because of the specifics of their water usage or whatever but because they're the one visible, local leverage point for ordinary people to push back on the "turd mountain" of AI that's being foisted on them with little tangible benefit and no consent
