We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Saving this to my timeline because this is how it should be, not how they claim it is. I can’t save $2000, by not paying my mortgage. I stole from Paul to pay John 😂 In Spanish, we have a saying, “No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver”

Teachers really do have so much power, just like students do. Let’s not forget what it feels like to do what is right to help our fellow human beings.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who issued a ruling early Saturday morning, directing the Treasury Department to restrict access to its payment systems to ‘civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties.’

Every University has a stable of lawyers and together they will form a thundering herd. The indirect cost cap, if left in place, could take down entire university towns. Every dollar of NIH funding returns $2.46 in economic activity. www.nih.gov/about-nih/wh...

For anyone who works in higher education, we know that in California the State only covers about 5-8% of a universities budget at R1s. The rest comes from grants, tuition and philanthropy. CSUs and CC are funded differently.
