Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

America and Its Universities Need a New Social Contract Fifty dollars for STEM, five cents for citizenship—that’s how America apportions its education dollars. Our beleaguered universities must redress the balance—helping the country and themselves.

We need “a new social contract between universities and society in order to keep providing the innovations in medicine and technology we urgently need—and to start building the civic strength we need even more,” Danielle Allen writes:

Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute while standing behind the US presidential seal on January 20 2025

It has been 70 days.
70 days since Trump took office.
70 days since Elon Musk fired off a Nazi salute.
70 days of terminations, illegal executive orders, defied court orders, & racist belly aching.
We don't bow to kings, and we don't give quarter to Nazis.
Do not comply in advance.

RFK, Jr. is an idiot. The fact that such an ignorant, evil person has *any* say-so in our nation's health shows how broken America is right now and how vile and stupid Donald Trump is.

The most significant thing about #SignalGate is that Republicans reporting to Donald Trump didn't even think it was necessary to consult with Donald Trump, the supposed Commander in Chief, about attacking a foreign country. They regarded Trump as irrelevant. We should too.
