How DOGE Gutted the NEH in 22 Days Internal documents show how leadership at the National Endowment for the Humanities handed over the grant termination process to DOGE and ChatGPT.

We knew it was chaotic on the faculty side. Termination emails went to spam filters because they were not from neh.gov. They were also bullshit out of a can. And here’s why, who, and how. Little dipshits. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

UNC-CH Will β€˜Scrap’ New Recording Policy, Chancellor Says The move comes less than three weeks after the controversial rules were enacted.

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings.

This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

South Carolina Hospitals Aren’t Required to Disclose Measles-Related Admissions. That Leaves Doctors in the Dark. Physicians across South Carolina, home to the largest measles outbreak in decades, are advising patients without the benefit of real-time data on hospitalizations due to measles-related pneumonia, bra...

South Carolina doesn’t require hospitals to report measles-related admissions, making it difficult to ascertain how sick people are getting.

β€œThe public might get the false impression that measles is milder than it really is,” one expert said.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer β€” roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters.

Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

Extremist rhetoric is often found in government messaging. Who's the target? In a rare move, the White House took down a racist post last week from one of President Trump's social media accounts. But extremism researchers say it fits a pattern of mainstreaming extremist ideas.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.
