How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

In retrospect this cabinet meeting seems equivalent to Biden's team insisting on doing that debate with Trump, only with less of an audience for it.
I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

The Atlantic is Fox News but for high SES liberals worried their kids spot at a UC will be taken by some Latino kid from the Central Valley.
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

John Roberts moaned operatically that prosecuting the president for doing crimes would deprive us of his bold and vigorous leadership bsky.app/profile/chri...
He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

That our university leaders do not feel deeply embarrassed by the way they are being so transparently manipulated by bad-faith actors demonstrates the extent to which they agree with the substance of these anti-intellectual right-wing critiques
This is an eminently sensible thread and should be read and taken to heart by anyone in a faculty supervisory/academic leadership role. This is, tragically, the new landscape, and just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can ignore it.
Departments, faculty: we have to get our heads out of the sand. We have to understand the political landscape and take concerns seriously. Our students and NTT colleagues need our help and support. Retreating to a silo is giving up just when active support is necessary. 10/end

I laugh whenever I see a billionaire described as “selfless,” because nobody becomes a billionaire by being “selfless.” To reach billionaire status, “selfish” and “greedy” are the two most appropriate adjectives.

New, from me: Trump’s justification for invading American cities and other countries is to reduce the crime he is actively encouraging through his pardons.
It’s emblematic of how corrupt the pardon process has become under Trump.
