Akron Public Schools says the federal government has canceled almost $5 million in funding for the federal GEAR Up grant, which provided college and career mentorship for about 1,500 students. by Conor Morris www.ideastream.org/education/20...

Again, this guy: "There's no downside, other than the mother will have to tough it out." The erasure of women's pain and suffering is both entirely expected and enraging.

I had debilitating headaches through my 2nd trimester when I was pregnant. Daily, severe pain that was alleviated by a dose of Tylenol. Listening to that guy tell America's mothers that they have to "tough it out" when they are in pain is infuriating.

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

In fiscal year 1999, the state covered about 47% of the base cost of education. By 2027, that share is projected to drop to 32%. As the state steps back, more of the responsibility for funding schools shifts onto local homeowners. by Anna Staver, Rich Exner www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...

Lastly, consider watching some of his films this week. My favorites include Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Sting, Jeremiah Johnson, and All Is Lost. Rest in peace to a man who has given us much.

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican' Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping. Here, he tells us his story.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

No Donald, Chicago is not your war zone

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

More than 30 National Institutes of Health grants in Ohio have been impacted by recent cuts at the federal level. The cuts represent an estimated loss of $16.75 million for various Ohio universities and hospitals ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/03/o...

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D): "These were Minneapolis families. These were American families ... Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church."

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I have never seen something so explicitly political in my (Roman Catholic!) church bulletin

🚨 Major shake-up in NSF funding for K-12 STEM ed: Caps proposals at $750K max for 3 years. Prior cap used to be $5M up to 5 years for some programs. Archives several existing programs (DRK-12, AISL, CSforAll, TD, parts of ECR:Core). Combines into broad program with much lower expected # of awards.

An Ohio City Faces a Future Without Haitian Workers: ‘It’s Not Going to Be Good’ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...

“got lost :(“ feels so much more heart-wrenching than just “Lost Cat.” Anyway, I don’t know Angelo, but if you’re in Old North/South Clintonville, keep an eye out.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

NEW: “I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.” Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

I remember when women couldn't have credit cards, before 1974. This is why education is important. All must remember... none of this is ancient history.

We must learn from history. By sending the Ohio National Guard to help Trump suppress peaceful protesters, Governor Mike DeWine is betraying Ohioans who said #NeverAgain after the #KentStateMassacre. Ohio’s National Guard Members didn’t sign up to be used so dangerously as political pawns.

Think about it this way: Tomorrow, the democratic leaders of Europe are coming to Washington, DC, where armed National Guard troops are on patrol, to convince a U.S. president, who called in those troops, that he should not hand Russia the sovereignty of Ukraine, which Russia illegally invaded.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

Tell your state representatives and senators to respect Ohioans’ First Amendment rights. Tell them NOT TO OVERRIDE the governor’s budget veto impacting libraries (veto #67).
