If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Toyota is using #COP30 to promote biofuel cars, but the science is clear: crop-based biofuels are a false solution that threaten forests, food security and the 1.5°C limit.
The world needs real zero-emission vehicles, not greenwashed detours.

If you had any doubts about the credibility of NYT reporting or why Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker seemed like Trump stenographers….
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

If things keep up, the amount and variety of illegal activities that Trump has been involved in over the years may impress even those who felt like they could no longer be surprised by anything the man had done in the past.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Here’s your daily reminder that, about a week ago, the president straight-up admitted he had no idea who he was pardoning—only did it because his sons told him to.
There’s a lot going on, but I still think that’s one of the biggest scandals in the country right now—and the media is just silent.

First, Trump pardoned the violent insurrectionists who beat cops.
Now, he pardons the key instigators of January 6th.
We need to see this for what it is:
An attempt to erase history, so it can be repeated.

It’s not a done deal.
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.
