You should name the university.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Non zero chance that the near unanimous vote in congress is the republicans taking a fast off-ramp from a severely cognitively impaired president, knowing he is a millstone around all their necks next year.

Bookmark this. She'll vote No next week.
So will Mace.
It won't pass because of those two.

Did I just hear a Trump clip that said he brought in 21 TRILLION dollars?
TRILLION??
The GDP is just a bit more than that.
Does ANYONE believe these numbers?

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too
