When facing questions about your caucus taking $10K from Leslie Wexner in 2025—I'd recommend not claiming that the pedophile associate should have given you more money before fleeing into the nearest men's room

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

I have inquired with Congresswoman Shontel Brown, who also was a no-show at the presser despite being on the Oversight Committee.

Forcing people into the wrong bathrooms, stripping them of accurate IDs, and allowing government-sanctioned harassment doesn’t make ANYONE safer.

There has been constant vandalism at Silverio's memorial (which has a much smaller footprint than Renée's):
In Franklin Park, IL this afternoon—
Across the street from where ICE shot and killed Silverio Villegas González two weeks ago, a small gathering is ongoing. Folks are cleaning up the memorial site.
An organizer tells us people have been periodically damaging it and breaking candles.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

Brazil's Supreme Court was even more important than its Congress. In the Brazilian system, justices had ideological priors, but multipartyism made it very hard for presidents to select for loyalty as in the United States. The result was a court capable of uniting for democracy when it mattered.

among other things it is important to remember that the last NSF director who Trump nominated stayed in that position through the entire Biden administration, because we get lazy about NSF compared to NIH, and so there is a very good chance we have Permanent Wet Director. nsf funding over now

The State Senate enacted more Rooster Rules today.
Told me I had to ask the clerk to film in the chamber BEFORE or AFTER the session, then denied the request.
They also started closing an adjacent hallway outside the chamber 15 minutes before session.
This is war.
