Republicans are increasing your health care costs and afraid to come back to DC because they don’t want to vote on the Epstein files.

🔥You love to see it! @aoc.bsky.social DESTROYS the Republican lies surrounding the shutdown:

"They're playing golf, and they're going to Mar-a-Lago... Republicans in the House have been on vacation for weeks now. We are here in Washington DC. We are ready to work!"

The entirety of the college experience helps young people to mature, become self-reliant, and to forge friendships that last a lifetime. Young adults learn critical thinking skills and are exposed to the endless possibilities of learning and to diverse cultures. AI? Programmed fiction and dystopia.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

The story fits a familiar pattern: The Trump family appearing to leverage the power of the presidency for self-dealing. But it's failed to get much coverage in the national media.

National news media outlets nearly silent on alleged Trump family self-dealing pharmaceutical scheme

Major cable and broadcast news outlets seem to have largely ignored a Wall Street Journal report that Donald Trump Jr. stands to potentially benefit financially from a deal between BlinkRx and the gov...

JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law.

I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

The Trump admin is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the Marines. Sources close to MTN describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”

Sarcasm reigns here as does twisted humor. It is part our coping mechanism. What you need to understand is that it is very dark here. Our power has been stripped away by a corrupt Supreme Court who allowed dark money to buy our system. It will take much work to overcome this destruction.

I’m in central California, fairly close to Travis AFB, and grew up by the Presidio where my dad was stationed in SF.
These military bases are nestled into CIVILIAN areas!!
Who the fuck thinks firing live rounds into US CIVILIAN territory is a good idea? What could possibly go wrong!

That kind of thing requires “restricted area” airspace to segregate hazardous military operations from uninvolved aircraft, and there’s no airspace like that to cover missile flights between offshore launches and inland targets around Pendleton. Not sure that’s going to work…
