I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

If I see one more post saying Les Mis is about the French Revolution, I will lose it. It’s more than 50 years after the revolution! France isn’t the US, they didn’t have a revolution, create a govt, & that was it.

I wish I had a much bigger social media presence because this is my neighborhood school. It primarily serves black, English learners and children with disabilities. They want to close it and ship neighborhood kids miles away and aren’t providing equitable bus service. www.abc15.com/news/region-...

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Let me be very clear: The last person I want to hear talking about the risks of SSRIs is a sociopathic conman who spent much of his life self-medicating his own mental health issues -- including treating his ADHD with heroin! -- and who now wants the rest of us to validate those choices.

My dad didn’t like that Kendrick Lamar wore a tshirt & jeans to perform for millions of people. As if that hasn’t been the de facto uniform of musicians since the 1950s

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

I don't think it's all that surprising that a Boomer gave all our SSNs to a foreign guy with a computer.

We had a session for grad students who are teaching for the first time this semester, and I noted that most policies on an instructor's syllabus are the result of an incident they had to confront in a prior term. The same principle is true of regulations. These lessons were learned the hard way.

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s especially important for Democrats to act.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled. Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security. This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

We have an app so office calls rollover to our cellphones. The same number called 3 times in a row so I answered, “hello?” This French voice said “who is this?” It was the company president in France.

Now that I have 2 dachshunds, people are gifting me lots of dachshund things. Mugs, signs, etc. I love the twins, but I didn’t choose to have dachshunds. I didn’t want them to be given to strangers.

I think it’s shitty that when you digitally rent a movie, you can only watch once. I should be able to watch as many times as I want for 72 hours.
