The Longhorns neuter themselves. 😡
Seven of the nine universities that the White House initially approached about a plan to steer more federal money toward schools aligned with President Trump’s priorities have refused to endorse the proposal.
All but 2 Universities Decline a Trump Offer of Preferential Funding

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

WOW Chicago!!
The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

So the young republicans was “already grossly mismanaged” and leaders were fine with that. It’s only when their racist chats became public knowledge that they disband the group to start over. 🤔
