This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities.
People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.
‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders
“This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

Super Bowl prediction
Comic, first panel is two sports broadcasters with one saying "Sports fans - this is a world first" The second panel is the football on the turf w/ legs and a face now beginning to crawl with stunned onlooking football players. The broadcaster continues "The ball is evolving to walk on land!"

Many of you seem pretty excited about an Aaron Rodgers retirement announcement, and I get it. But let's just see how you feel when he's sworn in as HHS deputy secretary in like three months.

Tapper: "By this standard, would any of these officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?"

Noem: "Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on."

It only gets dumber from there.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.

This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?

One of the things you learn about the law after a bit of study is how much legal compliance relies on socializing the law’s legitimacy. When law becomes purely transactional, it’s just another racket competing with all the others for dominance.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
