I live in the northeast of the USA. I am interested in political issues. I’m worried about the the changes being made to our constitution. I have a big, wild Australian doodle. I love to walk outside and am an avid exerciser, gardener, reader, dog lover.

Ivy League universities like Harvard or Yale have massive endowments to cushion funding losses, and they generate a lot of headlines, but public universities depend on federal money to keep programs alive.
The Ivies can weather the Trump administration’s research cuts – it’s the nation’s public universities that have the most to lose
While headlines focus on Harvard and Columbia, state universities train far more STEM students, power the nation’s research engine and have fewer resources to weather sweeping cuts.

It’s amazing to watch the tiny handful of higher profile people who have decided that now is the time for them to get on board the Trump Train, just as millions are jumping off as it goes off the tracks. They’re like people buying the last tickets on Titanic.

It is not! A “scrivener’s error” is for things like fixing typos or very minor non-material errors, not retroactively adding a deportation order that doesn’t current exist!
Is "correcting" a previous order like this a real thing?

The regime refuses to take this loss. They must think they'll lose too much face if they do, so it's important to them not to lose.

Yes I agree. This is one show that needs to be canceled immediately. Doesn't matter if it ends on a cliffhanger. It always would be.
The Trump show is on verge of being cancelled. Typically when a TV series is on its last legs, they try big surprise story lines. Does that mean we will soon hear that Melania is pregnant?! If so, who will the father be?!

What's the point of impeaching him now when you need a 2/3 vote in the Senate to remove him ... something that ain't gonna happen.
Impeachment right now is the stupidest idea on earth. After the midterms when we take back the House and Senate, oh hell yes. But its premature ejaculation right now.

Yes, because we all know that millionaires are the best people. Kind. Tolerant. Fully committed to the principles of equality on which this Nation was founded & which has fueled our dreams (even if it hasn’t defined our reality). Who needs the huddled masses yearning to be free? Overrated, amirite?
