This was a Utah university attempting to comply with the indefensible HB 261. A university. Prohibiting lists of words and ideas.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

California's #Prop50 doesn't have the same legal frailty as the blocked Texas map - their voters were asked to vote for it to oppose Trump's power grab, which is 100% political, not racial. Pod: https://bit.ly/3Z0lr7x prospect.org/2025/11...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

Oil regulators claim Oklahoma's wastewater incidents are under control.
But our reporting with @readfrontier.bsky.social shows the state is still dealing with dozens of instances of toxic waste spewing out of the ground, one of which killed about two dozen cows in Sept.

Today is Day 38 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.
3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Trump could stop this Republican shutdown today by simply convening a meeting with legislative leaders.
