“At the beginning of April, the conservative-dominated North Carolina Supreme Court put the final nail in the coffin of equitable education funding in the state.” www.liberalcurrents.com/equal-on-pap...

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

This House Republican is in deep denial about midterms GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio appeared on CNBC Friday to defend his party’s abysmal record and bleak midterms prospects.

“I don’t know if I said this on your show a few weeks ago, but I was doing some interview and I said, ‘I think this election is really going to come down to a couple of sentences: They’re crazy, we’re not.’”

Obama joins the redistricting war in this crucial state Republicans are playing dirty in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, using old footage from former President Barack Obama to try to confuse Virginians about where he stands on the vote.

Republicans in Virginia are using old Obama footage to suggest he opposes a redistricting measure he actually supports.

He had to film a new ad to say: no, really, vote yes.

Whatever happened to merit? President Donald Trump’s administration is stuffed tip to toe with the very worst, least-qualified toddlers, but sometimes there’s one that just gives you a jump scare. Meet 27-year-old Samuel Samson…

The Trump administration’s Europe strategy currently includes a 27-year-old adviser criticizing allies on Substack.

This is not a metaphor.

Trump kicks Kristi Noem while she’s down Kristi Noem has fallen far from leading the Department of Homeland Security, and President Donald Trump isn’t above kicking her while she’s down.

Kristi Noem pushed Cameron Hamilton out of FEMA. Now Trump wants him back ... and she’s gone.

That’s one way to settle a workplace dispute.

A new, telling sign emerges about GOP’s midterm fears Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress nearly a week ago. Why hasn’t Republican Gov. Greg Abbott set a special election?

The seat might be safe. The timing, apparently, less so.

Old Trump would hate the new Iran ‘deal’ It actually looks like the end is near for Trump’s idiotic war in Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz is reopening after weeks of disruption from the Iran conflict.

After all that, the outcome looks a lot like the deal Trump scrapped ... just more expensive.
