That Yale report on what's wrong with U.S. college saw some trees (high cost, unfair admission, etc.) but missed the forest: the 60-year right-wing crusade to undermine higher ed, from slashing budgets to stifling speech

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
so, who’s the most shitfaced member of the Donnyverse? you could be forgiven for assuming it’s Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand, the champagne-guzzling dunk-tank clown who grew up to be Donny’s Secretary of Death. after all, ‘piss-drunk’ is right there in his name. and sure, in the running would be US Attorney Boxwine, famous for regularly showing up for her on-air Fox News gig as a word-slurring, four-sheets-to-the-wind mess.
who's most shitfaced in the Donnyverse? no, it's not Pete Kegstand — and it's not Jeanine Boxwine. their antics can't compete with the drunk-as-a-skunk antics that Kash Patel gets up to. thank you for your attention to my sober look at the most inebriated cabinet ever. link is here: bit.ly/4mMkjA8
Great article in The Post Bulletin yesterday about the momentum behind our campaign!
As prices keep going up for families and farmers across southern Minnesota, it's clear that our message of making things cheaper and easier is resonating with voters all across the district.
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
Here's how it works. https://youtu.be/p1fPbGHe3xE?si=QZRQImV8KYD5Y90r
Over the past year, we’ve been all across southern Minnesota, talking to folks about how we can make things cheaper and easier.
I'm so proud of this strong grassroots campaign we've built so far, and we're just getting started:
My favorite scene from the Bible
So great to speak with fellow supporters of strong schools in Mankato recently! I will continue fighting for the thoughtful investments we need in our communities to make sure every child has access to the American Dream.
That’s not Trump’s voice. Someone else is posting.
Hey media--
Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.
Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.
Language matters.
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.
A page from the book 1984
Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.
Not that he cares, but it’s a bad look that Trump has only fired women in his cabinet. Noem and Bondi are terrible, but they aren’t any worse than Hegseth or Patel. Why did they get fired while the others didn’t?
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.
Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.
Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.
After the 2024 election, support for trans rights was widely viewed as a political liability for Democrats. But across the country, Democrats who are standing firm against anti-trans legislation haven’t seen the backlash many expected — and may even be strengthening their standing with voters.
A military coup would be nice right about now. Before it’s too late.
PM of Poland
Thanks to your support, we raised over $470K in the first quarter of this year! That brings us to over $1.2M raised since launching our campaign.
I'm incredibly grateful for the grassroots support behind our campaign, so we can do this without taking a dime from corporations.
So what video must be out there of (now ex-AG) Pam Bondi's husband?
Hollywood to the rescue:
This 💯
No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.
"Previous demonstrations in Missoula have drawn thousands, and the one Saturday, organized by Missoula Resists, Indivisible Missoula and Stand Up Fight Back, was estimated at more than double, possibly triple, the first No Kings rally..."

Holy New York.
Holy moly!
Philly is showing up to march for No Kings!
The crowd is growing here in St. Paul Minnesota at the State Capitol. There are about 40k people here right now with multiple marches still coming. The temperature has warmed up to a balmy 39 degrees, the sun is out and everybody is having a great time. ❤️#NoKings
Can confirm
🤣🤣
A white poster board sign sporting a checklist - NO KINGS but green checks for books, art, empathy, love, and tacos
