Texas Tech has decided it wants to be a football program affiliated with something equivalent to an air conditioning repair school
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

BREAKING NYT:
The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

The ex-Honduran Prez Trump PARDONED was found guilty of trafficking more than 400 tons (!!!) of cocaine into the U.S. His co-conspirators used AK-47s, grenade launchers, & AR-15s to protect their loot.
So why the order to "kill them all" on a single drug boat? And why was Hegseth involved at all?

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes
Report: Trump’s Most Corrupt, Least Qualified Judge Was Also an Enthusiastic Proponent of Extrajudicial Killings
Yet another reason for Senate Democrats to impeach Emil Bove the moment they take back the upper chamber.

👇🎯 Yet the problem remains: we have a non-functional legislative branch & dumb, purely extra-constitutional rules that the government can be shutdown, rather than continuing at current levels until a new budget, like all normal democracies. Feeding the hungry shouldn’t require judicial Calvinball.
If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

This thread is about Evanston, but this has also been going on without reprieve in Elgin, Aurora, and other Chicago suburbs—a metro area of nearly 10 million people.
Some context to the viral videos:
Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.
They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.
