PE firm behind for-profit universities using its WH influence to handwrite terms that will eviscerate, hamstring and control its own competitors in higher ed…and NY Times giving space to the CEO to come out and admit this influence in a pro-Compact piece

As someone who played a part in the compact’s initial formulation, working alongside an administration working group, I would like to offer what insight I can into the motivation and need for the compact and to address its detractors.

Private equity gets its toothhold into firms through economic squeezing, devalues them, then breaks them into parts to sell off. This compact is the squeeze that will simultaneously advantage for-profit ed *and* make it easier to PE-ify non-profit ed. The ideological component is a means to an end.

Large numbers of CDC employees are reportedly terminated during the government shutdown, including senior leaders and critical staff, in what observers describe as a politically motivated effort to weaken the agency. Legal challenges are already underway.

Jeremy Faust, MD @jeremyfaust.bsky.social · 10h

We have breaking news in Inside Medicine.

We had heard rumors of RIFs to CDC.

But this is the first visual confirmation that it has occurred tonight, and at high levels in the agency.

Here is what we know...and then some well-sourced rumors (but rumors, nonetheless, not confirmed) 🧵...

I Wouldn’t say no but cream cheese with whitefish salad always feels redundant to me.

And the trust isn’t about the whitefish salad, actually, it’s the pumpernickel bagel (which a lot of bagel shops make too dry and the texture is off).

Mom is tired @workersdance.bsky.social · 14h

When I’m home in the Bronx at a place I trust it’s a very simple toasted pumpernickel with whitefish salad Spread.

But my standard order in the City is toasted sesame, plain cream cheese and lox with tomato.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

This makes no sense at all except for one tiny carve out constituency, and it's a voter base for him: the more-well off people who live in Riverdale who take a pricier express bus (used to be Liberty Lines) to Manhattan.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

The very first riot after a George Floyd protest was started by a white supremacist nicknamed "Umbrella Man."

He spraypainted "free shit" on an AutoZone, broke the windows, and encouraged others to come in. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/man-h...

Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police

A masked umbrella-wielding man helped incite riots and looting in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's death, police said.
