A new CBO report estimates that extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add $4.6 trillion to the deficit. Remember this the next time Republicans propose cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

"To Kahn, democracy is a partisan issue and he’s not taking sides." Think about that for a moment. Dan Froomkin says the old guard at the New York Times has reasserted control "over the rabble," and Joe Kahn's interview with Ben Smith demonstrates it. presswatchers.org/2024/05/new-...

The students and others who were arrested on Saturday are banned from Grounds. They cannot complete their years. You know who wasn't banned from Grounds for months? Jason Kessler and Richard Spencer. Jim Ryan: resign. Glenn Youngkin: go to hell.

As someone who will be sending her kid to college in two years, I absolutely have been paying attention to which universities call the cops on their students and which ones don't.

Someone said to me this week that all the social media about Emory was making us look bad so parents won’t send their kids here and I laughed and said “pretty sure calling the riot squad and arresting its own students and faculty is what made Emory look bad” 🙄

Dear sweet baby Jesus… How much money has Trump spent on YouTube?

I haven’t said much about the protests because I’ve nothing original to say. (I know, innovative approach.) But as a nervous-to-paranoid American Jew, I’m a lot more worried about the guys in the background than the woman in the foreground.

It is the same Republican congressman, Mike Collins of GA-10, who approvingly tweeted the video of a handcuffed black man on the ground with two officers on top of him being repeatedly tased on the thigh by a third at Emory.

They beat up Dartmouth's former chair of Jewish Studies and banned her from campus. To protect the Jews, you see.

So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...

Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

it's funny because you could pick a cop at random on the team that stormed the hall and find a litany of excessive force complaints, racist social media history, and probably even credible domestic violence accusations and somehow it never occurs to you to do that.

patriot front is marching unopposed in West Virginia right now no police in sight. People really need to be asking why neo-Nazis are allowed to march with impunity while peaceful students protesting against genocide are being beaten, mercilessly and treated like a invading army.
