Feared, yes. But not for the reasons this acolyte puts forward. The fear stems from his narcissism, unpredictability, and tendency to believe misinformation.

You could have a rock do a better job of running the federal government at this point.

This is not higher education, and to pretend othwrwise is a fool's errand. It is a subsidized minor league apparatus that should break off as a private equity asset of universities.

Remember when the GW Bush administration worked overtime to make the case for imvading Iraq, even if it was under false pretenses?

In 2010, when President Obama criticized the Supreme Court for its decision in Citizens United, Mitch McConnell said he "crossed a dangerous line and should back off" and John Cornyn said he should not have called out the Court for doing its job. Today, McConnell and Cornyn couldn't be bothered.

The unversity experience is PRECISELY to encounter controversial and uncomfortable subjects and to learn to critically engage with those subjects. What are we even doing anymore?

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution states "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law "

The complete captivity and capitulation of the Justice Department to the dear leader. I guess we'll just give it meh and move along as if there's nothing to see. At least the Dow hit 50,000.

These folks are masters at having a solution in search of a problem.

This needs to be everyone's profile pic. I don't make the rules.

Please no.

So many memes, but so far, one of my favorites.

It's almost if you can't build trust on a bed of lies.

The bowels of inhumanity of this administration.

Bad Bunny ❤️ers pre SB or post SB, this thread is 🔥

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Good news for Katie Hobbs. Running against ultraMAGA Andy Biggs in an antiMAGA environment will be a different race.

I guess I'm a CINO (Citizen in Name Only)

Three-year-old agrees to play with everyone in the sandbox after being scolded for pettiness.

This is not surprising. AI detection tools are unreliable and leaves instructors with little recourse.

Do you know how hard it is to get a group of people to unanimously agree that a case has absolutely no merit?

A county prosecutor would not only be fired/recalled/not reelected for this level of incompetence, they would be summarily shamed for wasting time and money to seek an indictment.

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

Academics on Bluesky: Saving draft "10.v2_clean." Ready to post soon.

First Bad Bunny killed it at the SB and now this? We are seeing some signs of righteousness in the air.

Monday after superbowl feels.

That was awesome!

Or a Harvard Kennedy School fellowship.

Meanwhile, here is the honorable former president who lives rent-free in the current president's head.

Javier, our CEO, wanted to check in with everybody. He hopes you're doing alright. If not, you're welcome to take a few deep breaths with him and think of something you're looking forward to. Javi is looking forward to the Bad Bunny halftime show ❤️

My wonderful housekeeper, who doesn't watch sports or care anything about the Super Bowl, just told me is will be watching the Bad Bunny halftime show. So nice of MAGA to amplify this moment of cultural significance.

This is some really good Canadian shade. www.ft.com/content/7c78...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

US Democrats anyone?

There is no bottom, no final straw, no red line for Republicans. Their dear leader can do and say whatever he wants.

A stupid and dangerous time to be alive.

The U.S. has completely outsourced justice.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

I'm continually amazed (but not surprised) at the pendulum swing from George Floyd to present day.

New tag line for the Washington Post: "Democracy Dies"

This is not sustainable.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

When all of this is written in the history books, the failure of the media to defend the fourth estate should be one of the most shameful narratives.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

"Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact" should be a mass distributed bumper sticker.

Me: I'm a little sore from yesterday's workout. I'll take it easy today. Lindsey Vonn:

"Vote GOP 2026: It's not a crime to party with a pedophile"

The current Department of Justice is terrible at doing Department of Justice things. "The photos, which showed young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible, were largely removed after The New York Times began notifying the Justice Department."
