Donald Trump is offering nine universities funding if they sign a compact that’s a “complete adoption of the MAGA high-education agenda,” Kevin Carey writes. The document is “shot through with the tensions that mark Trumpism in its latest form”:
A Deal That Would End Universities’ Independence
The free-speech provisions of the so-called compact are an exercise in contradiction.

Americans risk losing health insurance and in most states can be fired at will. That's why it's so hard to federal strike here. The individual risk is very high

Statement from Gavin Newsom:
“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you.
•It won’t win over the base.
•It won’t boost your approval.
•It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024.
•It won’t fix 2026.
It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

How many of you believe that what has been reported as an assassination attempt in Butler was something that was part of something darker and wider-reaching, and that the American people do not have the truth about what actually happened?

Make America 1214 Again
It's Friday afternoon, which is a tough time for important news, but Stephen Miller said today the White House is "actively looking at" suspending the writ of habeas corpus.
And as my friend @lawofruby.bsky.social put it, that's "truly crazy." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
