The thing I want folks to understand abt the cuts in the GOP budget is that they are IDEOLOGICAL, NOT FISCAL. This is not abt "saving money" by cutting essential services (the budget actually operates at a substantial loss). Rather, it is abt destroying the infrastructure supportive of democracy.

Trouble in Texas – AHA A political controversy couched as a leadership fight roils the Texas State Historical Association.

I don't think that there has been any press coverage of the matter yet, but a recent lawsuit in Texas History has huge implications for academic freedom, free speech more broadly, and disciplinary associations. /1
