Yes, but alcohol is a multibillion-dollar industry so we're right on track with American priorities.

Dear @mprnews.org. Please make a more strategic fund drive pitch. Not “Oh, we’re threatened. Give us $1 million.” Something more like: “We want to create an endowment.” Or “We need to increase our rainy day fund. Your $1 million will keep us operating for NN months if federal funds go away.”

DEI NEVER meant hiring the unqualified just for diversity. It ALWAYS meant giving diverse applicants a fair shot. Unlike the current administration's hiring of grossly unqualified sycophants.

So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court.
Let’s be clear: they didn’t do the right thing. They got caught doing the wrong thing.

So neither she nor her Secret Service agents could keep her personal property secure in an enclosed space. Why isn't this grounds for immediate termination.

New EO. Let me boil it down for you.
1. Higher education is a ripoff. Outcomes are terrible.
2. I’m punishing the accreditors for law schools and medical schools.
3. The secretary of education can start a bunch of new accreditors. That’ll work.
