At lunch break for one of my bar exams (Ga. or NC)? the guy in front of me in the sandwich line turned around and asked the other testees "how was the secured transactions question?" Long silence. Finally someone said "there wasn't secured transactions question." Reluctant nods all around. Ugh.

The Republican budget bill passed out of the U.S. House last week would impose punishing new taxes on Duke University and @davidsoncollege.bsky.social, raising them by an eye-popping 500%.

Every Republican member of Congress from North Carolina voted in favor.

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

The Tillers’ exuberant bluegrass version of Woody Guthrie’s β€œAll You Fascists Bound To Lose” has been our SiriusXM show’s opening theme since January 20th.

It’s also one of the rare non-punk covers of this particular song.

What DianeLockhart said - this has been in place since long before the Rump/Musk/DOGE regime.

I'm actually more concerned about the Muskrats having access than with Elon having it -- they are more likely to have the programming chops which can cause real mischief than he is.
