Did any Republicans win tonight? I'm assuming not, since Fox News is devoting a lot of airtime to the former Notre Dame football coach and air traffic woes.

Itโ€™s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

Clark Construction is the General Contractor and the Demolition Company is ACECO. Engineering Firm is AECOM and Architect is McCrery Architects.

So White House construction companies:

ACECO (demolition): Deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles, took down their website with contact information entirely

Clark Construction (construction): Limiting Insta comments and hiding or deleting critical ones.

Do these companies think we'll all forget?

Really! Why blame the Democrats for their lack of action? Shouldn't all Americans be protesting?

Iโ€™ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. Heโ€™s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

We seek no special treatment in exchange for our pursuit of those foundational goals.
The integrity of science and other academic work requires merit-based assessment of research and scholarship. A contractual arrangement predicating assessment on anything other than merit will undermine the integrity of vital, sometimes lifesaving, research and further erode confidence in American higher education.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noemโ€™s government-funded video blaming โ€œDemocratsโ€ for the government shutdown.

โ€œWe believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,โ€ one airport said.

Regarding the Compact | MIT Organization Chart

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."
