Almost all fundraising appeals are annoying. But where did this “Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in to my campaign” approach come from? Super annoying and pathetic.

University presidents and other leaders have a choice: actively resist this nonsense or be part of a historical undoing of the American university. And if they have the courage for the former, it should be loud and public.

Glad to see Sen. Cassidy trying to repair some of the damage caused by his vote to install RFK Jr as the head of the federal government's health apparatus. But make no doubt about it: Cassidy owns this.

Bill Cassidy cast the key vote for RFK Jr. What is he thinking now?
The GOP senator has invited Susan Monarez, the former CDC director, to testify about her concerns that Kennedy is threatening vaccine access in America.
