If we accede to the demand that political appointees can decide what is worthwhile to study and what isn't, we've lost universities as institutions of knowledge, innovation, and progress. This is why academic freedom and tenure are so important.
This -- a model bill to effectively decimate non-STEM research by requiring 3-3 teaching loads outside of "STEM or Americanism and western civilization" -- seems...extremely bad but also quite plausible.
Proposed Model Bill Would Change College Tenure, Teaching, & Research
Three conservative groups have proposed model legislation that would dramatically change faculty tenure paths, teaching loads, research activities and hiring authority

This was the moment that’s the turning point away from a post Watergate accountable presidency to Republicans knowing that if they controlled the courts, they could do anything and there would be no consequences.
But we had two chances to fix it.

The great thing about rich people who talk about our health care system is that they prove that they have never actually used our health care system.
This is all how it works now, except I spend 40%+ of my salary for premiums/deductibles/etc. and, yes, I'd happily change that for 9-12% in taxes.

It assumes Cratchit is working a 40 hour work week (he isn't) and that straight line inflation extrapolations over centuries are valid (they're not) and fails to understand both Victorian class and household finance.

Once again we need to have a conversation about how standing doctrine is keeping the courts from enforcing the very basic requirements imposed by the Constitution
Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

Did he just admit to piracy? Are they even offering a pretense for why we're committing piracy as official US acts now? I'm being dead serious when I say that every other country needs to be sanctioning the US now. These are blatantly illegal acts.

it remains absolutely funny to me that the one thing that unites MAGA and Blue Labour is "we are too high up on the value chain and we need to go back"
Over 50% of the UK goes to uni. 50% of our economy doesn’t require this, and we are misallocating high value human capital, this is the problem that you for some reason, are pretending not to grasp.

By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
