Republicans like to act like their opposition to elite higher ed in America is recent & due to the protests, but I specifically remember George W. Bush lamenting that he couldn't say how proud he was that his daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, was going to Yale.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

I am working on a case about how gaming companies use psychological tools to get players addicted to games, to go into a flow state (losing sense of self & time), use bots that people think are human competitors, & how they psychologically manipulate people to spend money on games. It is DISTURBING!

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Horrified by today’s terror attack in Colorado. Antisemitism has no place in our nation and we must continue to unite together against such hatred. Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones.

Jake Tapper's show The Lead just hit a 10-year ratings low, averaging a paltry 525K viewers in May 2025, down 25% from last year. Tapper has lost several million viewers since he began. Then again, it’s not really breaking news when Tapper hits a new low, is it?

It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/8h7BsDK

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars. He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration. Is this being "tough on crime"?

Finally watched the Joni Ernst videos and… I mean, I…. It’s just infuriating how much they think they can get away with. They truly believe the the voters are so beaten down and so disengaged and so hopeless that they can do That to you, and still draw a salary from your money

WHAT! If Sen. Ernst truly said essentially.., Embrace God so as not to worry about health insurance… I double down on my suggestion for her to not only give up her health Insurance but also her Car, homeowners and life insurance. I guess that would show what a true believer she is. Crazy time.
