I'm ready to dump X but I use it these days mainly to follow legitimate news sites and keep up with the goings on in this topsy-turvy world. I'd appreciate any suggestions on sites to follow. I've found the biggies - NYT, Washington Post, Huffpost, etc - but I'm short on TN news sites

Kagan is not impressed with the majority's explanation for the Federal Reserve exception. You can almost hear her incredulity in these graphs. @courthousenews.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

The US Administration is now explicitly threatening similar illegal, authoritarian assaults on every university in the country.

Our entire system of higher education is under attack. The powers being used as weapons are perversions of the public trust.
