We now know Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson followed Laura Loomer on X. Is this the tweet that pushed him over the edge?

My FYP is video after video of pre-med students explaining how the big bill’s student loan cap will make it impossible for them to afford med school. Experts were already predicting a doctor shortage to the tune of 86k by 2036. This will make it exponentially worst. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hFxfBL/

The government just ended my ability to even apply to medical school, it’s no longer an option because private student loans would lead to absolute financial ruin. All of my work for the past 5-8 year...

The Supreme Court's bias toward corporate interests is persistent, pervasive, and exhaustively documented.

But it is still extraordinary to hear a sitting justice bluntly call it out and castigate her colleagues for consistently twisting the rules in favor of big business. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet.

…oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

In a head-spinning pair of announcements on Wednesday, the National Institutes of Health told staff that it would lift its monthslong freeze on all research funding to Columbia University — then reversed its reversal, emails show.

New from me: www.chronicle.com/article/colu...

Columbia Got Some NIH Funding Back. Then It Didn’t.

In a confusing turn of events, the National Institutes of Health told staff that it would free up some frozen funding to the Ivy League campus — then quickly backtracked.
