Newsom: "If any California university signs this radical agreement, they’ll lose billions in state funding – including Cal Grants – instantly. California will not bankroll schools that sell out their students, professors, researchers, and surrender academic freedom"

The more Trump acts, the more unpopular he becomes. Political leaders w the power to stop his unlawful actions should do what’s right no matter what, but maybe this info will embolden them to act in the public’s interest.

Individuals being professionally disciplined for commenting on Kirk's death and the government monitoring immigrants for commenting seems an odd way to react to the killing of a "free speech warrior".

The Dept. of Education is planning to propose, as early as this month, a new regulation that would streamline its ability to pull federal funding from colleges found to be in violation of civil rights laws.

This change would be alarming enough by itself, but paired with ACTS it's a real emergency.

Can’t get a Covid booster shot from a pharmacy in DC without bothering one’s doctor for a prescription. Even for folks 65 and older

Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”

But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.
In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines. "Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie." In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022. "I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."

Gotta say seeing governors competing to one up each other to see who can make vaccines most accessible is a refreshing change.
