(And to answer your question, Yale, specifically, isnโ€™t worth it ๐Ÿ˜‚)

No but I think thatโ€™s what people associate with a 4 year degree. The fact that you can get an education at a state school for a reasonable tuition is overlooked.

Told y'all.....watch for a wave of retirements between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Here we go

Yes but you also didnโ€™t graduate with 300,000 in debt. Itโ€™s a completely different calculus today.

Americaโ€™s universities turned themselves into luxury finishing schools, chasing elites in hopes of landing big dollar donations and growing their endowment. In exchange, they lost both their mission and the support of the other 90% of the public.

Well done Yale & co.

It especially makes a huge difference that Fareed understands that politics happens in other countries than the US too. Center-left failure and populist-right success are international phenomena, seeing how it's happening elsewhere is crucial to separating the root causes from the accidental.

Northwesternโ€™s leaders will likely try to justify their choice to appease fascist extortion with some BS about needing to help researchers get federal funds that were illegally withheld, so itโ€™s important to note that virtually all of the researchers said not to.

Please update - very interested in knowing.

Left wing advocacy groups who push far left issues which hurt the party in the general election. For example the ACLU asking Harris about trans prisoner healthcare.

Oh, never mind, she doesnโ€™t worship the groups, now I get it.

Iโ€™m listening to an interview with Mikie Sherrill and sheโ€™s great. What was the issueโ€ฆ?

Emerson also undershot Sherrillโ€™s marginโ€ฆ so ๐Ÿ‘€

I know itโ€™s Wednesday but I probably wont be on tomorrow. So I just wanted to say Iโ€™m grateful for all of you, of clear eye and impeccable moral, on here with us as we fight the good fight.

Happy turkey day all.

God, what I wouldnโ€™t give for this to be an upset.

Iโ€™ve had wonder bread dressing and it was not impressive.

26.11.2025 02:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ok but what kind of dressing. Because that stuff made out of wonder bread is inedible. Give me the good stuff, inside or outside the turkey.

2/2 They found nothing, obviously, but they did destroy entire agencies and their dedicated staff, turned over reams of government data to Elon to train his AIs, dismantled our nation's soft power, and then slunk away with zero guilt, shame, or regret.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, theyโ€™re signaling the present isnโ€™t defensible. Thatโ€™s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

I give the Italians a hard time about their politics but man they do Christmas lights really well.

Idk we said that about 2024 and the polls ended up being correct.

Yea itโ€™s curious.

Yea exits are imperfect but Latino men are gonna be a problem for Dems regardless. Trump is being a complete psycho and itโ€™s only barely moving them.

25.11.2025 21:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ya but itโ€™s mainly driven by women. Biden won Latino men 59-36 and Iโ€™m sure Hillary was the same if not more.

25.11.2025 21:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes. But after the last year thatโ€™s still ridiculous high.

25.11.2025 16:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic

GOP Members of Congress correctly noting that the White House treats them like garbage, Speaker Mike Johnson lets it happen because he wants to, the legislature has been usurped, soโ€ฆ theyโ€™ll quit, rather than vote for a new Speaker or do oversight of the executive branch.

I would accept camps in exchange for her pikachu face when she ends up there with us.

Levels of tryhardism never before seen in history.

This conversion between Ezra and Fareed is exceptional.

Gets to the heart of this moment we are in, why democrats and the center left failed, and how to move ahead.

Notably - Fareed echoes what @radiofreetom.bsky.social says. Bored affluence leads to fascism much more than economic struggles.

Exit polls on VA had him getting close to 50% of Latino men although Iโ€™m skeptical.

Five discharge petitions have succeeded since Johnson became speaker.

Thatโ€™s more than the prior three decades, says Politico: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
