As long as we are still taxing the penguins. They have been taking advantage of us for too long.
They filed this lawsuit against California in 2019. They lost!

Whenever I teach ethics, I can’t get through the lesson on Kant without my inner monologue saying that in Val Kilmer’s voice.

Letter from the Georgetown Energy Law Group withdrawing from a Skadden recruiting event, and explaining the reason for the cancellation: Skadden promising the Trump regime to end its DEI programming and give $100 million in free legal services to Trump-approved causes.
I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?
Today in user-hostile design: A website’s security question was “What is your age?” In fine print, it said, “enter the age you were when you first registered.”

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

"But by any economic measure, the United States is not facing an energy emergency" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/c...
Project 2025 has a bullet that says, "End grid planning and focus instead on reliability."
During Winter Storm Elliot, gas generation was less than 50% of the capacity on the PJM grid but was responsible for over 70% of the failures. Not putting more eggs in that basket seems like a good start.
PennFuture strongly supports Governor Josh Shapiro's formal warning to PJM Interconnection.
