I believe any university that eliminates DEI from the admissions process should also have to eliminate legacy and donor preferences

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Speaker Johnson knows what it takes to reopen the government, but he refuses to do it. He will not negotiate. He will not let the House return to session.

Speaker Johnson chose to shut down the government because he believes you should pay more to see a doctor.

Sounds about right

SCARBOROUGH: The Nebraska Rural Health Association says at least 6 rural hospitals would have to close bc of the big beautiful bill

FLOOD: Here's the deal: Some hospitals that are rural hospitals are going to eventually have to transition from being acute bed hospitals into being an ER model

Appalling: JB Pritzker tells me he hasn't been able to get a single conversation with Kristi Noem or any other top Trump officials to even discuss their Chicago operations. Pritzker just wants a heads up for logistical purposes. Nada.

Pritzker opens up on the pod:

Nothing says "Most deserving of the Peace Prize" than changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War

“She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

The Nobel Committee underscores exactly why an aspiring dictator like Trump cannot win.

She is everything Trump is not and is rightly being honored for that

I love watching ICE slooowwly backing up when they face off with the frog

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required license plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

What exactly is a “Democrat program”?

Medicare? Medicaid? Health insurance? 🤔

I used to wonder how the Washington Post could continue as a going concern after losing those hundreds of thousands of subscribers over the past year… and then it dawned on me: there’s only one subscriber they care about.

Every "Give Trump the Nobel" op-ed has the tone of an exhausted parent arguing with the other about letting their tantrum fueled toddler have the toy so they can just get the hell out of Target without child services being alerted.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

Does she realize by saying that, the Fed and National Guard response is unnecessary.

If the mayor of Portland can clear a "war zone", it can be done with local law enforcement and thereby negating the need for an external "peacekeeping" force!

Undermining our country from within the White House

I’m shocked.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

"It’s hard to think of a more clear example of an authoritarian regime than a political enemy being charged with crimes simply because the president wants him to be. As Peru's fascist leader General Óscar Benavides famously said: 'For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law'.” #TrumpTyranny

“Putting your political opponents in jail because they are your opponents—not because of what they did—is the heart of tyranny. It is an obviously impeachable offense,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the indictment of NY AG Tish James on Trump-ordered charges.
