Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is who they are. The only value the general public has is its ability to work for the capitalists. Your health? It’s only important to the extent that you can keep the machinery of servitude running.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

None of the young male mass shooters and now political assassins I've written about in recent years had stayed in higher education and pursued a bachelor's degree. Crazy enough, it's almost like college is a positive socializing force, not a radicalizing one
So:
a) none of political assassins were students, or even shared a coherent ideology - shameful to blame universities
b) Trump is already engaged in the attack on campus speech the Free Press wants
c) I worry a lot more about the animosity to campus The Free Press is fueling than any of my students

Below are the 30 U.S. cities with at least 100,000 residents that had the highest number of crimes against people, per 100,000, according to the latest FBI data report.
Goodness, Washington, D.C., forgot to be included!
JD Vance & Jim Jordon's Ohio makes a stellar showing. Heck of a job on crime!

This is what’s on CNN right now, an hour after Republicans passed a bill stripping healthcare from 17 million Americans, gutting food assistance to the tune of $300 billion, and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion.

Republican senators have been racing to pass their bill before people learn about these numbers.
But at some point Americans are going to notice anyway. Including the ~half of Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
