Hegseth, among others, is using the school as a punching bag to express the generic social anxiety and status-based resentment that drives much of the MAGA movement.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.
The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

#EpsteinClass all the oligarchs, elites. Whomever had contact with Epstein. All of them.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Agreed.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

“It seems our university leaders cannot even say that it is wrong to murder a former student in broad daylight because some people might disagree,” geography professor Kate Derickson
Faculty, students push University of Minnesota to denounce ICE and killing of alumnus Alex Pretti
It illustrates the complex balancing act for colleges and universities in responding to ICE actions.

Nice. This is how you do it. Do the science anyway. Trump overplayed their hand--one of America's strengths is our scientists. RFK Jr is outnumbered by scientists in this country.
I am thrilled that GAO accepted my request to study the public health, equity, and economic impacts of RFK Jr.’s reckless decision to eliminate the universal hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation, in response to a letter I led with @repkimschrier.bsky.social & 108 House Democrats.
