If you’re flying and see a TSA officer, thank them, say β€œ hang in there” and tell them you appreciate their service. They deserve the respect!

I read it as a no, despite the language of "ongoing dialogue," which other universities also employ. Vanderbilt, like most of the rest, follows MIT's lead in stressing merit-based research as a core value. That's a pretty clear rejection of the whole premise of the so-called academic compact.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.
