Path breaking research is risky. Without tenure researchers will only play it safe and we will have fewer inventions and treatments.

No Tenure for Oklahoma.

Instead, faculty will be on "renewable contracts “tied to teaching effectiveness, student completion, job placement, and economic alignment.”

Tenure Will Be Eliminated at Most of Oklahoma’s Public Colleges, Governor Says
Gov. J. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, directed the state’s two-dozen regional universities and community colleges to phase out the practice. Existing faculty members will be grandfathered in.

I have been driving an EV for 7 years. I agree that people are worried too much about range-and but enough about charging infrastructure.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

They really can't seem to find a langauge that neets the moment. Now "nationalization of election" may be problematic because it makes AG worried the federal government is hostile to THEIR work.

They can do that, or... "nationalize the election administration in 15 states."

Latinos were already feeling the pain of increased cost of living. Now, Republicans are warning the party needs to change course on immigration, focus on economic issues and start pouring money into competitive races — or risk getting stomped in November.

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time." www.nber.org/202602/diges...

Also, why is take over in quotation marks? He literally wants his administration to manage the elections in blue states.

The worst form of journalism today is stating a fact about something outlandish or dangerous that Trump said or did in the lede without context /implications to the health of our democracy.

With all his bravado, this thin-skinned individual doesn't care that the public lost access to an important cultural institution, just that he won't have to endure news stories on artists' cancellations.

I obviously know nothing about TX politics, but I immensely enjoyed Talarico’s interview with Klein. He came across as very thoughtful. His religious angle is a breath of fresh air.

Thanks. It seems that if the national mood moves 2-3 more points to the Democrats' side, TX senate race is surely in play. It may be in play already.

Emily - any thoughts about whether this in any way affects the senate race and who democrats think,among primary contenders, is going to have a better chance in 2026?

As if rights are not about trade offs. The ICE officer right for privacy is weaker than the public rights to demand accountability from public officials. Also - masks encourages bad behavior.

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."
