It's the going for help with Pritzker that makes this truly remarkable and potentially a sign of national Democratic coordination

This is the 2025 version of "if we get rid of the filibuster/ blue slips then we'll regret it once we're out of power."

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

Much of the settlement has nothing to do with antisemitism. As @mbkplus.bsky.social and I discussed on the pod, how can a university cede authority over admissions, hiring, and even locker rooms and still profess a commitment to "core values?"

I often think about what would have happened if Cannon hadn't caught the classified documents case.

The Bove nomination was rushed for a reason!

Our criticism is bipartisan. The co-chair of Columbia's Board of Trustees is former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson.

A boycott might have been a tad extreme, but how did we get to the point where con law largely dominates the academy?

The odds are quite good that this ends with Pirro losing her license to practice law.

This op-ed has nothing to do with Columbia admissions.

Woman Suffers a Cardiac Arrest While Taking the Bar Exam — and Proctors Allegedly Didn't Stop to Provide Help A woman suffered a cardiac arrest while taking the bar exam at a Long Island college, and administrators of the test allegedly didn't stop to help her.

The February bar is mostly taken by people who have failed the exam previously. 90%-95% of graduates from ABA-accredited law schools pass within two years of graduation.

It depends whom you ask! But there are ways to address your concern without requiring every graduate in the country to sit for a two-day exam.

This is becoming a yearly tradition. We do not have to keep torturing our students: scholarship.law.tamu.edu/facscholar/1...

I need other Democrats to step their hating game up because Gavin Newsom is hating Republicans his way to the nomination at the moment.

@mbkplus.bsky.social called Brown and Cornell as the next dominos.

My pet peeve is profs who don't load final versions of their articles on SSRN.

We could have had Court reform but settled for a bipartisan commission.

This is a good headline.

Great day for everyone whose 2024 brand move was claiming that Dems were exaggerating how bad Trump would be.

Don't get me started. But they all know about Erie!

This post applies equally to SCOTUS. We might need a special rule to protect the head of BLS.

More of this, please. But where was Congress when Columbia was laying the groundwork for its capitulation weeks ago? @nadler.house.gov - a CU alum - is the only member who has commented publicly.

Voters have mostly shrugged at the (unlawful) dismantling of the administrative state; we'll see if that extends to economic infrastructure.

True.

As the excellent @nymag.com piece documents, ADL has largely become an apologist for Israel's government. Yet, Columbia has selected it to lead mandatory antisemitism trainings. @mbkplus.bsky.social and I discuss this decision at the halfway mark. livefromwatthall.transistor.fm/episodes/col...

Libertarians, man. www.cato.org/blog/win-lib....

RBC released a report last week that described the US as in a period of "stagflation-lite." The new job numbers are 🚨 that should hopefully lead to more media focus on results and less on alleged "wins."
