Who would’ve guessed that the man that slashed multiple university programs because he didn’t feel they had value for the job market supports Trump’s ideology towards higher education?
How much government is too much government? For many of us, the answer to that question depends on who’s in charge. @SenAlexander brings up some great points about the risk of federal overreach in higher education. Many of the goals the Trump administration wishes to achieve in

These results suggest that getting a PhD causally worsens mental health, or at least receiving psychiatric medicines. The reversal post PhD degree is particularly convincing. But the up trend among the control group is intriguing. The highly educated are in distress.

That’s actually the perfect use of generational wealth
Privilege is having rich parents who set you up for life so that you can spend your entire youth doing useless activism while never worrying about having a real job.

Is the government supposed to approve art and make sure it is patriotically correct?
This is "art" from the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery commemorating the act of illegally crossing the "exclusionary" border. This was even made a finalist for one of its awards. This is what President Trump means when he says the Smithsonian is "OUT OF CONTROL."

Donations are needed for flood recovery after last night’s devastating flash floods in Ohio County. Big needs are cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, first aid supplies, batteries, pet food. These can be dropped off at Elm Grove Elementary of the Elm Grove Riesbeck’s.

Hunger games 2025. You’re elderly out in a holler in WV. You have limited transportation. The only grocery store left near you is a Dollar General 40 minutes away. You’ve just been told you can’t purchase most of the food there now. Find the healthy food. Go!

So everyone knows. This is not fucking ok. @wvgovernor would you like to comment on your playing politics with @WVVA? Why are you suppressing the media?
UDPATE: Sources at @WVVA say the station's GM Charity Holman made the decision to pull this article on Morrisey's comments about flooding after the governor complained on social media about his DIRECT QUOTE being misrepresented. When asked if Morrisey had reached out...

Cory Booker doing a fake filibuster for 25 hours and then immediately voting with Republicans to keep sending bombs to Israel so they can keep killing civilians is peak democrat behavior
