Department of Education rescinds Title IX guidance that NIL payments must be proportionate
How Title IX would factor into schools' revenue-sharing decisions has been a lingering question.

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

It would only take 4 Republican Senators to stop almost everything on Trump’s agenda.
Just 4.
Authoritarians win by making people think they are stronger than they are.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I have never used TikTok and not privy to all the evidence, but I don’t think this is a win for freedom of speech.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the federal government can legally shut down TikTok in the U.S., delivering a stunning blow to the viral video app used by about half of Americans.

When a body is so broken that it is entirely dependent on the care of others or a mind is basically gone, we are called to give dignity to what remains, for it still houses one created in the image of God.

Greatest band ever
OPINION: U2’s love affair with America was matched only by the band’s disdain for the country’s politics. This infatuation and outrage were all spun into a single whole by producer Brian Eno, and the result was “The Joshua Tree,” U2’s finest hour.

(RNS) — U2 is capable of dissecting this nation — and its religion — with a rare and effective ruthlessness.

I grew up in the Carolinas and never knew about this history until (checks her watch) today. It is so important that we learn our history. ALL OF IT
White “Redeemers” staged a coup in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898 and overthrew the Fusionist government—a coalition of Black and white people. They were never held accountable for murdering at least 60 Black people and subverting lawful elections. Sounds a lot like January 6th and its aftermath
