“There is no area in which the United States’ global dominance is more total than higher education. With about 4 percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of its gross domestic product, America has 72 percent of the world’s 25 top universities by one ranking and 64 percent by another. But this crucial U.S. competitive advantage is being undermined by the Trump administration’s war on colleges.”

Putin WILL stage a provocation to have a reason to break the TRUCE he signs

This is from American intelligence reports and comments from officials:

⚡Putin is still determined to gain control of Kyiv;

⚡Even if Russia agrees to a ceasefire, it will use it to rebuild its troops and rearm

⚡There are no signs that Putin has abandoned plans to keep Ukraine in his zone of interests and influence

⚡Kremlin believes Trump is weak and can be easily manipulated - history proves this

Bought a pair of new folding chairs for the summer. Opened one up in the living room and it was immediately claimed by Shadow. He says it's just his size, so no one can sit there with him, and in another 30 minutes it will be so coated (pun intended) with cat hair, no one will want to sit there.

I'm really haunted by this bit, "Hospital staff are scrambling with damage control efforts — implementing emergency masking policies and giving babies as young as three days old injections of immunoglobulin..."

You're a hospital. in the middle (both geographically and timewise) of a Measles outbreak. During an ongoing (yet mostly ignored) pandemic of a disease that can permanently disable people who get it. Both are known airborne diseases. And you have to scramble to implement and "emergency masking policy"

WTF?!?

YIKES!

On Wednesday, a woman gave birth in a Lubbock, Texas, hospital in the middle of a deadly and fast-growing measles outbreak. Doctors didn’t realize until the young mother had been admitted and in labor that she was infected with the measles.

By that time, other new moms, newborn babies and their families at University Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Lubbock had unknowingly been exposed to the virus, considered one of the most contagious in the world.

Hospital staff are scrambling with damage control efforts — implementing emergency masking policies and giving babies as young as three days old injections of immunoglobulin, an antibody that helps their fragile immune system fight off infections. nbcnews.com/health/health-news

From the article: "Measles outbreaks in West Texas and New Mexico are now up to nearly 300 cases, and two unvaccinated people have died from measles-related causes.

"Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that’s airborne and spreads easily when an infected person breathes, sneezes or coughs. It is preventable through vaccines, and has been considered eliminated from the U.S. since 2000.

"As of Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its count of confirmed measles cases in the U.S. surpassed 2024. Here’s what else you need to know about measles in the U.S."

Imagine how it would look if the leader of another country declared networks they deemed too critical of them “illegal”

Donald Trump Claims MSNBC And ...

The next time I am called to jury duty I will flat out tell the attorneys there is no situation in which I will vote to convict. If the President is above the law, then everybody is.

I wish I lived in a country where Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman had at least half the balls of Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social In other words, Putin doesn't want peace. He wants land. @mcfaulmike.bsky.social@bsky.app @ArmyGirl

Best thing about pi day? It's also the day I celebrate my remission from cancer. Twelve years ago today, I completed my final treatment.
