I thought that his move was to keep his cowardly caucus in line. Wrong again, looks like he is the key coward.
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.

I wouldn’t use sample packs or buy loops because it felt like cheating. Now kids are just *describing* the kind of song they want to “write” and expecting to be paid for it. Is there no shame in their hearts? Do they not feel hollow?

I need everyone to redirect whatever reverence they may have for cops over to union organizers. We’d be in a much better society if they got the respect they deserve.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”
No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

It’s easy to forget, sometimes, that the system which put these people in power is also the system we’re expecting to hold them accountable. It’s not gonna happen. There will be no justice and we will all die mad about it.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.
