University presidents are incapable of taking anything but the path of least resistance. Their sole function is to glad-hand donors and make instantly forgettable speeches.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

abundantly clear that this administration takes “discrimination” to mean “any regard for minority communities” and treats “merit” as a synonym for “white (and preferably male)”

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity. He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud. Which of course is fucking crazy.

The story is one of preemptive censorship and a rumor mill mobilized to attack academics, especially since the journalist does no work to substantiate the allegation and seemingly shrugs at the accuser refusing to disclose its own employees who made the charge. Their hiding behind AI is just icing.

This is absolutely unhinged, pro-censorship framing. An anonymous site makes an unsupported allegation that gets a scholar censored and sanctioned before there is even an investigation, and the reporter evinces no curiosity about the identity of the accusers or why Yale folded immediately. Amazing.

below is true but also applies to media employees talking about: lgbtq+ people, abortion, sexual violence, civil rights for people of color and immigration. subjects are politicized by public figures and then editors tell employees they can’t talk publicly about them anymore. common practice.

The CR's effect on DC is a five alarm fire. By treating the DC as a federal agency & compelling the city to return to 2024 spending, Congress is mandating that DC cut its budget--its own tax dollars--by almost 20%. None of this $ will be refunded to the fed gov; it was never theirs.

This has long been the GOP endgame. Use the language of “parental choice” and “local control” to eviscerate public school funding. Funnel that instead into billionaire-led voucher systems and publicly unaccountable faith-based schools. All moves that will harm the neediest children and families.
