I have long maintained that college consumer choice hinges on whether it’s sunny or rainy when the prospective student visits, which makes spring break a uniquely bad time to take the college tour (b/c it rains too much). A new study proves me right.

Here’s last night’s story about prediction markets – platforms where you can bet on basically anything, from the weather to the war in Iran. The story's also about why AI seems to be obsessed with shirtless old guys! To a lesser degree, but worth mentioning, if you’re into that. youtu.be/ZN4njIQcSR4
Jeffries: "Republicans have spent tens of million trying to convince the people of Virginia that President Obama and Gov. Spanberger are urging a 'no' vote. That's a stone cold lie. The 'no' vote position is Donald Trump's position, as is being evidenced tonight. He's been trying to hide it."
Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country
- Abolish Citizens United
- Outlaw foreign influence
- End the electoral college
- Tax the oligarchs
- Reestablish rule of law
- Strict separation of church & state
It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways
Poll: Trump’s immigration message changed. Voters' opinions have not.
A new POLITICO poll finds half of Americans — including one quarter of Trump’s 2024 voters — said his mass deportations campaign is too aggressive.
Trump Seeks $152 Million to Begin to Turn Alcatraz Back Into a Prison - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...
Trump wants 💰 to rebuild Alcatraz, but none for healthcare?! ✋🏽 GTFOH!!
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
I’ve been a member for two years.
In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening.

The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom, one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits. This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation. Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection. Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started? The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass"
Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?
Alexa (I use a soothing male voice) has changed in the last year. It makes little wry comments & waxes somewhat philosophical at times.

The president’s new attorney general today swore that not one single more Epstein file would be released. This is probably because the last AG got fired because she released credible allegations against the president by a 13-year-old child.
It's kind of remarkable how effective he is at bringing Europe together. From Left to Right, everyone in the EU and UK can agree... this guy is a shcmuck and we are better off without him.
