New Utah Law Seeks to Crack Down on Life Coaches Offering Therapy Without a License Some therapists who lose their licenses transition to the unregulated life coaching industry, an investigation by The Salt Lake Tribune and ProPublica found. A new law makes it clear that only license...

NEW: Dozens of life coaches advertised their ability to treat mental health issues, despite not having the training or permits to do so, Utah researchers found.

A new law aims to crack down on the practice by clearly defining what only a therapist can do.

Op-ed: Try again, President Kumar: Renewing calls for Tufts to adopt March 4 TCU Senate resolutions - The Tufts Daily The independent student newspaper of Tufts University

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

I was proud to stand with National Rural Letter Carriers yesterday in the nation’s capital to continue the fight against privatization at the U.S. Postal Service.

Together, we will protect this vital service for the families, workers, and communities who have depended on it for over 2 centuries.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Trump β€˜chaos’ threatens US oil output, say shale executives Dallas Fed survey shows mounting alarm among Texas drillers at the administration’s energy strategy

If you are wondering who Trump is actually trying to help, apparently the fossil fuel industry is, too. Which is kind of mind-boggling. on.ft.com/3Y8TTgH

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

Trump admin priorities laid bare in leaked Signal group chat.

1. Hatred for Europe
2. Protect Saudi interests
3. Extort Europe

This administration is Putin's ultimate fantasy.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

this is great and gets to what might be the defining attribute of this administration which is that trump himself is barely aware of what is happening

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chatβ€”including a journalistβ€”two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
