What are the chances Harvard Law School shows any introspection over training people who don't follow the law.
On March 18, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed the reins of the US Agency for International Development to Jeremy Lewin, a 28-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School and DOGE affiliate. But USAID HR said he was not onboarded.

all of these people are on record saying the more hoops you have to jump through to vote the better; because you should have to prove your dedication, patriotism and civic knowledge to vote
Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too
Republican congressional candidate Brent Taylor asks voters to forgive past sexual advances as "youthful indiscretions."

I don’t know why this wasn’t more obvious & seen as existential by universities, who mostly just nodded along w/ their morally composed rich board members urging them to make deals with the devil. The whole project here was to destroy centers of knowledge, because knowledge is a threat to corruption

the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...
I just logged on to the New York Times and it's no where above the fold. It's not on the virtual front page at all, although cheesecake factory gate still is.

Someone whose comment he will see should tell @maddenifico.bsky.social that this is a fake Trump post, so he deletes his post with the screenshot.

It's okay to call a drag queen existing a pedophile. It's not okay to point out the president was friends with a notorious pedophile, the vice president is a flunky of one of that pedophile's close friends, their top donor, the wealthiest man in the world wanted to be friends with that pedophile,

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.
For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

If Kennedy’s larger point is that some political cultures are associated with an unfriendly attitude to knowledge that might be slightly more persuasive if he was not a MAGA anti-vax ideologue who is undermining the largest US research center (NIH) as part of a broader assault on higher education
