As a double alumnus (A&S '90, JGSM '99), I pitch in when I can. Or at least I used to. If Cornell thinks I'm sending money or recommending anyone I know matriculate so they can send THEIR money to be used for blackmail payments to the White House they have clearly misread the room. Cowards.

Worth remembering…

Seems like a reasonable request

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Dutch late night TV has its take

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

Florida, unlike the federal government, can be sued for civil rights violations and punished with monetary damages.

Between 1976 and 2024, there have been 4 Democrats in the White House and 4 Republicans, with an equal number of terms between the two parties. Here are their individual and cumulative records on job creation.

It's their interest in eugenics.

McGovern: "So I say to my Republican colleagues -- what's wrong with you people? In this bill you provide a $2 billion tax break for gun silencers, but you cut SNAP benefits for vulnerable families. Jesus Christ!"

Tom the Dancing Bug cartoon calling out how difficult it is to distinguish an ICE agent from a criminal pretending to be one.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

This looks fantastic!

Chris Cillizza translator: I cannot correctly define the word "defaced".

ICE agents swarm San Diego immigration court, arresting people after their hearings Agents, some in plainclothes, surrounded immigrants in narrow hallways as they exited courtrooms. Lawyers and advocates say the tactic, which ICE has used in other cities across the country, is aggres...

ICE: Why does everyone keep comparing us to the Gestapo?

'We will never sign!' Trump stuns as he issues 'bizarre' demand to Swedish city The United States is requiring businesses and government offices in Stockholm, Sweden, to comply with the Trump administration's anti-DEI policies, according to Swedish news outlet Dagens Nyheter. "...

The Trump Administration continues to embarrass the United States in new and original ways. #wftys

First 100 days report cards for key Trump Administration officials from The Daily Show.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants

the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever

they aren’t going into universities’ endowments

they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
