Again, the White House orders and coerces a private university to reduce admissions of international students—*regardless of their qualifications*.
The vilification of affirmative action was not, apparently, about principles of ‘merit’.
It was to redirect affirmative action to the “right” people.

Maybe someone should tell Pete Hegseth he’s not actually a villain from True Blood or The Boys. He’s too committed to the bit.

On the one hand, Hegseth keeps ordering murders. On the other hand, that’s what he was appointed to do.

The BBC budget "analysis" consists mostly of voxpops by people complaining bitterly about Labour taxing too much and roughly an equal amount of people complaining bitterly about Labour spending too little.

What an extraordinarily stupid thing to believe (if, in fact, he actually believes it) - unless by 'peace deal', he simply means Ukraine surrendering
“I told the president that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. [...] And I believe the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise,” Witkoff told Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.

For all the talk about how Pu is the master of backroom deals and strategic games, he hasn't achieved much at all in the last 10 mo, despite a few tries and a friendly, corrupt US admin. His current plan is going up in flames too. Let's stop the morbid fascination w this lowlife loser.

BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
