Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

The Epstein files bill that passed today in both the House and Senate grants AG Pam Bondi the authority to “withhold or redact…any material that…would jeopardize an active investigation or national security.”

He’s just gonna destroy the incriminating stuff. It’s clear as day.
"In the short term, no enforcing mechanism exists that would incentivize Justice Department officials or the Trump White House to abide by Congress’ demand. [...] Practically, there’s no real way for Congress to know if the Trump administration buries damaging documents or files."

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the Binance founder who enriched the Trump family, is one of the most corrupt acts by any U.S. president in recent history.

I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Giving up trillions in wealth to China because “woke.”
The main reason countries have yet to decarbonise their economies is because they lack the means to do so. And that is what China is fixing
