Trump DOJ: Yale’s Medical School Has Way Too Many Black Students
The administration’s view is that the mere presence of students of color at Yale Medical School proves discrimination against white people.

As a regular curmudgeon who views a university as being a college of faculty rather than a service provider for students... They are right to view graduation as a day for them, which belongs to them. It is their rite of passage. It does not belong to invited speakers or university leadership.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Colorado Democrats are only one vote short of two thirds in the state senate, and if you can’t flip at least one Republican who’d do it just for the lulz you’re not trying.

Me: I'm on board with the Pope with respect to capital punishment but there's a pretty clear exception here for people who so subvert the justice system with their crimes that they are insufficiently restrained by mere incarceration. MAGA: subverts the justice system with their crimes. Me: ah

There shouldn't be any handwringing about this. These pardons are simply invalid. All the recipients can return to prison. If they resist, deadly force should be authorized to compel them.

The next president needs to take her shot and declare all corrupt Trump pardons invalid, and re-imprison all of them. There has been more abuse of the pardon power in 4 months than in 200 years. We're not losing anything by either destroying it or fully enabling it.

Catholics will say that the St. Mary SCOTUS case is about whether schools can limit admissions to parents affirming their Catholic mission. But this isn't true. It's about whether they can discriminate against kids because of their family structure. This came out at trial...

One of my favorite dad sayings: “Oh you assume? You know what happens when you assume?” “What?” “You make a reasonable guess based on the evidence you have but sometimes it’s not enough.” The best part is that only my wife knows the other dad saying I’m subverting.

A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project. He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. He thought it was good for the environment. Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized. These people have power over your life.

The central reason that trust in health professionals dropped during covid is that the president intentionally and explicitly used doctors as scapegoats for the economic damage the pandemic caused. What irritated overly online center-right pundits is a smaller factor.
