NEW from me: With House Republicans passing a partisan, damaging continuing resolution that gives Donald Trump and Elon Musk free rein to continue to strangle appropriated spending, Senate Democrats have to decide whether they will actively participate in their institution's own destruction.
Senate Democrats’ Choice: Block the Republican Spending Bill or Dissolve Congress
The House’s continuing resolution would effectively hand over spending decisions to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history.
We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

I don't disagree that the US university business model was/is fragile, but surely not for this reason?
There is no society in the history of humanity that has successfully built a good university system without massive govt subsidies. US had already pushed the idea very far.

They put resegregation on the “positive impact” side and honestly I cannot imagine a better or more glaring confession
This chart from the NYT opinion page is an obscenity. Climate policy is unmentioned, the ongoing coup which has seen 200,000+ people fired is presented as less consequential than Ukraine policy, and the active re-segregation of the workforce is both positive & inconsequential.
