On this day in 1830, Belva Lockwood was born. She became a pioneering attorney and 1884 presidential candidate. In 1894, she challenged Virginia's refusal to admit her to the state bar. She lost, even though VA’s statute explicitly authorized admission to “any person” admitted elsewhere. #WeTheMen

News coverage of the Trump administration's proposed "compact" with universities has been, so far, shockingly bad.
I hate to pick on NPR reporter Elissa Nadworny, who's usually a solid reporter, but almost every important thing I heard her say this morning about the proposed "compact" was false.
