Kentucky Senate Passes Bill Allowing Easier Faculty Layoffs The legislation would explicitly permit terminations for low enrollment or “misalignment of revenue and costs.” The GOP supermajority can override any veto from the Democratic governor.

"HB 490's vagueness leaves the door open for pretextual terminations that would shut down departments & majors, closing doors for students & eliminating their opportunities to learn about a wide variety of topics. It prioritizes profit over education & partisan interests over academic achievement."

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

This is not just a “mean tweet.” This is a character assassination of an honorable public servant, a concept Trump will never understand, all to rewrite the history of Trump‘s own dishonor.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

BREAKING: Per WaPo, a new whistleblower report alleges a former DOGE member said he kept his SSA computer & credentials, giving him “God-level” access to Social Security systems.

Meanwhile, Trump wants to force every state to rely on SSA data for voter roll purges under the SAVE America Act. 1/

Hopefully, boards are still working their way through the stack and nowhere close to wrapping up.

I've gotten asked to referee a piece in the T10 recently that was so thinly argued. There are still slots.

Beyond thrilled my colleagues voted to promote me to full Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law!!

Grateful to colleagues who devoted extra time to evaluate my impact in research and pedagogy - and to all in my community who mentored me to see this day. (And a year early, at that!) #firstgen

It's indefensible and makes clear to everyone that breaking the law, and baiting the Roberts Court to renege on Bostock conservativism is the goal. I've written about illiteralism of excluding transgender and non-binary folx from "sex" discrimination here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Opinion | A win for 11.9 million workers Most independent contractors want the flexibility they lose when they become direct employees.

So the editorial board of @washingtonpost.com supports the Trump rule on independent contractors. Yet NO disclaimer that Bezos and Amazon depend on misclassification of drivers for their biz model. @prospect.org
