This is absolutely maddening.

We β€œcan’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.

$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth
$200 mil for Kristi Noem’s mile-high-club.

Ralph S. Quatrano, former dean of Engineering, 84 Celebration of life to be held May 9 in Whitaker Hall at WashU

I'm so sad to hear through the grapevine about Ralph's passing. He was the chair when I was hired at Wash U and a truly upstanding person.

I interviewed him at one point about what he thought went into making a great leader, and I need to dig those notes up!

The economy is in real trouble tomorrow. Oil prices are near $115 a gallon and still going up and Dow Jones set to open down 1100 points and probably a lot more. And no end in sight. 😳

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

White House: the witness’sΒ allegations are β€œcompletely baseless” and β€œbacked by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Lol. This is academic publishing taken to its logical end.

There goes another $20B of our tax dollars...

The money we didn't have to spend on education, nutrition assistance or healthcare for children, veterans and the poor.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
