There is a rightwing student network targeting faculty who engage in research and teaching or simply exist in ways that contradicts their political views and we have to develop strategies to avoid falling into their traps while collectively organizing to protect academic freedom from their attacks
If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.
