Usually, re-dedication ceremonies are held in broad daylight, with pomp and circumstance and a heads up to the press to cover said event with smiling politicos and speechless honorees….not marked with a “hey! look what we did when no one was looking!” tweet after business hours.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

I don’t know how to express clearly enough how disempowering it is for the 8 Dem senators to have caved after the incredible victories of last week

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Do you even know how bad this is?

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Jimmy Kimmel’s “as I was saying” opener wasn’t random—it’s a callback to Jack Paar. In 1960 Paar walked off The Tonight Show after NBC cut a mild “WC” joke. 3 weeks later he returned, opening with the same line. Kimmel nodded to one of late night’s boldest moments. Brilliant bsky.app/profile/ever...
Here is the video of Paar walking off the show. www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...
February 12, 1960-Jack Paar Walks Off The Tonight Show (REUPLOAD. NOW WITH PARTIAL VIDEO!)
One of the most popular items on my YT channel is my audio recording of the complete Tonight Show of February 12, 1960 when Jack Paar walked off the program to protest the censoring of a story he'd told the previous night (totally innocuous by today's standards). I have known since 1987 that kinescope material of this program did exist when two tiny snippets were shown in the special "Jack Paar Is Alive And Well", but nothing further was ever seen after that. Then recently, I discovered that the YT user "KJM" owns a 16mm kinescope of the first fifteen minutes of the show covering the walk-off and he posted it on his own channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip12LI0BhAY&t=11s. But he was only showing it projected onto a screen complete with the noise of the film projector and not in a digitized format. I have taken his upload and synched the picture to my clear, line-check audio recording of the program so that you can now see and hear the walk-off segment in better quality (in the event the kinescope is ever digitized, I would do another synch effort since kinescope audio, even when digitized is still inferior to a line-check audio recording, which sounds identical to what we'd hear if the program had been preserved in its original videotape format). After the first fifteen minutes, the program reverts to the audio only format. (I have no way of knowing if the rest of the program exists in kinescope format, but it's not likely). The old upload will stay before of all the views and comments its attracted over the years, but I hope people will now come to this one with a chance to actually see the moment that attracted national headlines in 1960. Paar stayed off the program for five weeks before he finally returned to the show, stepping down in 1962 to then make way for Johnny Carson.

And, it appears the mainstream media is silent on reporting. Or neutered.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.
