We call for the immediate rejection of the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”...No institution that is committed to the free pursuit of knowledge should submit to the degradation of autonomy and academic freedom contained in it. -ACLS Statement Regarding White House “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”

ACLS has released a statement regarding the White House “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”: bit.ly/3IviMig

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

Spot on.

Ok @cnn.com I love T. Swift. But Chicago is being invaded and I see nothing on this morning’s show. Do better please.

Should have been our president.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

As I was saying…

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

We need to address how easy it is to have weapons and ammunition available. We need to improve mental health services. We need to tell the truth. Three different issues. All were at play in this murder.

Detainee Accused of Tren de Aragua Affiliation Starts Hunger Strike Multiple judges have ruled that there’s little evidence that the Venezuelan man is a member of the notorious gang, but he remains in ICE custody nonetheless.

On Boston streets where separated bike lanes were installed, crashes involving bikes dropped 57%. Across all modes, there were half as many annual crashes after installation of separated bike lanes. www.boston.gov/sites/defaul...

This energy revolution could also be happening in the USA but our president hates wind. So short sighted.

Unfortunately, it’s not being covered. We are so warped.

24 years ago, America changed forever.

We make them president here.

MSNBC Fires Matthew Dowd For Stating The Obvious Following Kirk Shooting

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Shooting at Evergreen High School leaves three students with gunshot wounds, including the suspected shooter One victim and the suspect are still in critical condition.
