People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

"Trump Is Planning to Take Control of the Postal Service, Officials Say" The USPS employs around 600,000 people. Think about the hit to our economy, let alone the employees. BTW: The government doesn't fund the USPS. This is pure privatizing graft. Gift link. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Nearly 14 million American children were hungry last year, and 1 in 5 don't know where their next meal will come from. Yet Senate Republicans still blocked my amendment with @hirono.senate.gov to prevent cuts from school lunch programs while preparing to cut taxes for the ultra-rich. Shameful.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
