Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.

Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

It’s truly insane that the economy is in a free fall and the president, who doesn’t drive, is spending his time giving a PR boost to the car brand of his billionaire buddy.

To be crystal clear:

1. Measles is a nasty disease
2. You cannot treat measles with antibiotics or cod liver oil
3. The measles vaccine is very safe and highly effective, as shown by the ELIMINATION OF THE DISEASE IN THE US FOR 25 YEARS
4. RFK Jr. is an ignorant fool
In an interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, outlined a strategy for containing the measles outbreak in West Texas that strayed far from mainstream science, relying heavily on fringe theories about prevention and treatments.
Without Offering Proof, Kennedy Links Measles Outbreak to Poor Diet and Health
In a recent interview, the health secretary also suggested that the measles vaccine had harmed children in West Texas, center of an outbreak.

At this point in Trump’s presidency, the most serious and forceful pushback he’s faced has come from two sets of people with little in common: foreign leaders and American judges.
With Congress on the sidelines, judges and world leaders defy Trump
Federal judges have lifetime tenure, and foreign leaders answer to their own citizenry. For now, they’re acting as the emergency brakes on Trump as he pushes to remake the world.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
