"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Good for these faculty. Administrative bloat is a big problem at larger institutions and is one significant factor in the rise in cost for students while the faculty body increasingly made up of low paid, adjunct and contingent instructors.

Typhoid Leo brought home both hookworm and giardia from the shelter. $500 later we have to treat both dogs. #dogsofbluesky

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social student loan borrowers are not able to access IDR repayment plans, even those not enjoined by the 8th circuit case. IBR is enshrined in statute and is not blocked by the court but the Dept of Ed won’t let people enroll or recertify their income to stay on the plan! Sue!

Sammie (german shepherd on left) now has a brother named Leo (dark brown doggo on right). He’s a mountain curr mix and a very good boy. #dogsofbluesky

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social DOGE has accessed student loan accounts at Dept of Ed according to Wash Post and Wall Street Journal. This is our personal data! Same with the Department of Treasury. This HAS to violate privacy laws of some sort.

Everything the GOP is trying to get through budget reconciliation to avoid the Senate filibuster including removing non-profit status for all hospitals and large cuts to student loan reform.

Thoroughly enjoying this adorable fox plant pot and new pothos I purchased today at my small, local plant store.

The data I’ve been collecting from the 19th century mortality census is giving me visions of an RFK Jr. lead FDA and USDA. 😬
