Once again from my brilliant and talented (and anonymous) colleague, some dramatic moments from today's hearing:
Well, THAT is telling…
“… we heard … that Tesla itself was … boycotting the Cybertruck. … the brand is no longer accepting its … trucks as trade-ins … The brand has also recently halted sales of some models … as it cannot keep up with repairs. …”

Tesla Cybertruck Endures Recalls, Boycotts And Now Rust?
Tesla’s Cybertrucks are in the news, or should we say, in the wars, for a whole number of reasons. Boycotts, recalls and now rust!!

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Nice explainer on DEI, what the opposite is(!), and addressing concerns of the right.
Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Protestors in Los Angeles blocked traffic demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil
Yes!
“The protesters — who gathered near the very same escalator Trump descended in 2015 to announce his first presidential run — also held signs that read, “You Can’t Deport a Movement,” “Fight Nazis, Not Students” and “Jews for Palestinian Freedom.””

The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most extreme threats to free speech in 50 years.
Trump is sending a message that people who speak out will be punished — but we have a message for him, too.
We'll see you in court.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding.
Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

Congress is planning to pay for billionaire’s tax cuts by taking away medical care from poor people with disabilities. That works, right?
The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities.
Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.
