Professa Murray

Anyone who “settles” with the President should demand that any money be placed in a Treasury account.

What we have right now is appropriations trench warfare. If I was a college “paying” any settlement agreement, I would write Congress to demand the settlement be placed into “Treasury”. Taking control of the “pipes” still remains DOGE’s primary achievement.

You maximize power; it costs you legitimacy.

The reason why the Trump Administration is losing itself over this ad is it raises the exact issue that I have been discussing today: we cannot determine anymore if their assessment of what is lawful is legitimate because no-one can credit what they say as lawful or truthful.

It was super-bad faith; Paxton colluded with the federal government to take it a supine district court judges. It was a shameful abdication of the electoral will.

And does that mean we are in a circumstance in which the leaders of government cannot be treated as legitimate: yes. We are in a legitimation crisis:

If they say something is law: check the law. It is untrue. If they say something is a fact: check the fact.

Since January 20, 2025 we comply because of what I call legitimation habits: the government provides us with reliable information, the government provides us with due process, and the government acts in a regular manner. None of that is true of the Trump Administration. Do not comply anymore.

And where you see colleges (like in Texas and Florida) that have to react to DEI instructions, it is because state legislatures have passed separate laws that do have the force of law.

Yes. Make them defend everything: so much has proven to be indefensible.

An Executive Order on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion—which at this point, multiple district court have invalid because it does not even define these key terms—does not override statutory or even constitutional law.

And for everyone running saying the President’s DEI order is law: that is wrong, it has been held invalid multiple times, and it still must comply with the statutory requirements outlined by Congress.

You know what has the force of law—statutes passed by Congress.

Even Truman’s desegregation order—the most famous of them all—was an instruction to the Army as a federal entity to desegregate its forces.

Justice Dept. Sues California Over College Benefits for Undocumented Students

My response as a college would to say, bring it on: it is time to start attacking executive order to the states or private entities that are not federal agencies, www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u.... An executive order is an instruction to a federal agency.

And by fools, I am also referring to the Supreme Court if they accept this contumely nonsense.

I then noted if he did access her mortgage application, he probably did so without permission.
Again, this is the evidence that Donald Trump is relying on to fire Lisa Cook, a case in front of the Supreme Court right now. And I figured this out by merely looking at the public record. Fools.

Again: Fools. I remember when I realized Bill Pulte was a fool when I had to go over to Twitter and read his letter criminally referring Lisa Cook and realizing he based a criminal referral on the standard term included in a mortgage statement (not the application).

Government Infrostructure serve a reliable source of information. Differences in race and ethnicity are vital for understanding how disease progress. I will say that an impacted patient should sue; the database cases have been successful on 1st Amendment grounds.

I mean, I am not going to take the time to roast them because that would mean I should take them seriously. And the Supreme Court would look incredibly foolish to rely on Bill Pulte’s testimony, or criminal referral.

I try to be nice, but they are fools.

He + Ed Martin=Dumb and Dumber…

You know what we really need in the middle of an affordable housing crisis: an experienced expert running a the housing finance agency…not Bill Pulte, a man who can’t even conspiracy properly. I read his letter on Lisa Cook and clocked immediately he was an idiot.

Democratic time: tick, tick, tick.

remember this "case" began with DHS press person claiming that multiple vehicles had ambushed and cornered CBP agents in a scene reminiscent of Baghdad 2007

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Mira Nair is the best!

Bicameral hatred is good; what is the need: Article I needs to be Article 1 again. Congress’s insufferable sense of its own institutional prerogatives is healthy.

To clarify, I do not believe there was a conspiracy, I just believe these are the policy choices of the Trump Administration! We believe in truth on this feed.

Sometimes, a conspiracy is the only way to explain policy.
