Raquel, I may be the single person on Earth following your analysis. And I am hooked and converted. The communication was careful, but clear. I get it, I see it. Thx.

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to β€œcollapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

Our learning institutions continue to be used for political maneuvering. Longtime believer in progressive ideals, I still wish schools could be stewarded by academia's best leaders without regard to political affiliation.

Senate advances bills rejecting Trump’s efforts to slash research funding The White House sought cuts of 40% or more at some agencies, but lawmakers from both parties are pushing to hold science spending relatively steady.

Research funding has long been subject to culture war squabbles (e.g. stem cells) but especially in the Senate has enjoyed bipartisan support. That legacy is reflected by the Senate proposing a smaller cut than the administration. Still, higher ed needs to plan for less research in the future.

Bongino's behavior is, at any rate, erratic and confusing for some reason.

Most modern debates aren’t disagreements. They’re performances staged for people who already agree.

As we are urged to do by many, it would be useful if people would read a bit more. I have seen the benefit of education.

And I have seen profound knee-jerk reactions from ignorant persons, presumably of aligned political stances.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

Hoping to connect with other businesswomen or professionals. Also hoping to learn. Interested in hiking, yoga, all things art, God's creatures.

Quietly political, relying more on action than on yelling.

We are in the midst of a real challenge to the American experiment. Politicians craft soundbites that best satisfy test audiences then take them live. On both sides. Satisfying voter desire to hear certain words and rallying cries.

Little work being done. No one held accountable.
