The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

This is a complaint about how much hospitals are paid…?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I don’t know that they know it better, bc they both probably know it maximally well. But the ICU Nurse has likely done it more recently can do it longer (my mom is in her 70s)

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro 1d If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Gallego: If you’re a Republican in a swing district, why are you falling on this sword for a guy who’s checked out and probably needs to be put into some kind of treatment program for whatever dementia he has? Or for Johnson—who comes from one of the safest districts and is covering for pedophiles?

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
