You can review the list of courses in this piece. I suspect the actions in Florida (like others previously) will spread to Republican states as part of the effort to white-wash and Christianize higher education curricula.

I think Hegseth confirmed his eligibility to run for president on the Republican ticket.
Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.
During his confirmation hearings, he claimed he was “falsely accused."

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.
But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."

This is simply the pattern of Trump's lifetime behavior, and his supporters are surprised. He doesn't pay his bills. He doesn't follow through with his campaign promises (which is good for us). And he couldn't care less about his supporters who consistently fall for his divide-and-conquer racism.

Getting government out of the way of billionaires remains the North Star of the MAGA economic ideology, and so the upward redistribution of wealth is likely to be the one sure bet in the coming administration.
