I like better IPEDS data, but ED is already behind schedule on reporting data and has laid off most relevant employees and contractors. So I'm not sure how this will work.
The last two people Trump got fired:
1. Stephen Colbert, for telling the truth about him.
2. Dr. Erika McEntarfer, for telling the truth about his horrible job statistics
They’ve been coming for the data for quite some time. Label this one as: not all that shocking, at least not anymore, and definitely not surprising.
For months, people have been asking me whether I still trusted gov’t data. My answer was always the same: The stats agencies faced longstanding challenges, some of which Trump was making worse. But there was no sign of political meddling.
I can’t say that anymore.

Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️🌈 💛
The nation's fifth most populous county, San Diego, just chose its political future today—and appears to have chosen to have a Democratic local government—and it's crickets everywhere. Quite the eye-popping example of the NY/East-Coast-bias of how elections get covered.
People have no idea, not really, how this budget is about to wreck their very foundations.
It's gratifying that the abbreviation for our new Islamic Republic of New York is irony
The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.
Here for it…

Glendale, CA - The City of Glendale has made the decision to formally terminate its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house federal immigration detainees at the Glendale Police Department facility. This is a local decision and was not made lightly. Since 2007, the City has maintained a highly regulated, locally controlled facility that is maintained to the highest standards, extending basic dignities to those temporarily held-ensuring access to clean accommodations, on-call medical care, family visitation, and legal counsel. By offering local access, detainees were given due-process proximity that is too often lacking in more remote or privately-operated detention centers. Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive. And while opinions on this issue may vary—the decision to terminate this contract is not politically driven. It is rooted in what this City stands for—public safety, local accountability, and trust. Glendale is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in the nation. That is no accident. The Glendale Police Department is trusted and supported by the residents and businesses, and in turn, our officers work every day to protect and serve with professionalism and care. At this time, it is in our best interest to not allow that trust to be undermined. To that end, we emphasize: • The Glendale Police Department does not enforce immigration law. That is not their role, nor will it ever be. • We remain in full compliance with California Senate Bill 54 (SB 54), which prohibits local law enforcement from using resources for immigration enforcement. • The Glendale Police Department has not engaged in immigration enforcement, nor will it do so moving forward.

For the money they charge, Stata should be doing the analysis for you…
to put this another way, it is not news that the president is a racist. it very much IS news that his information diet as president appears to consist of the stuff that made dylann roof horny
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:
“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
I actually think I could fly to Vietnam, get a custom tailored three-piece suit, and fly home for less overall. If two jackets are involved, the tariffs will dwarf the plane tickets…but maybe this is how the airlines get their bottom lines back up on international travel among the sport-coat-class.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison
This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.
THIS!!! This is how to play ball. Govs of big blue states need to pay attention. Janet Mills is running a clinic in leadership.
The next time I hear that Pope Francis "prioritized inclusion over doctrine," I am going to scream. Inclusion _is_ the doctrine. Advocacy for migrants and other marginalized peoples _is_ the doctrine. Just distribution of goods _is_ the doctrine. Care for the planet _is_ the doctrine.
How do you write about vouchers' success in TX without mentioning the bills that failed in CO, KY, and NE in Nov, or that recent studies have found negative effects on math achievement? Even choice proponents acknowledge the results are mixed at best.

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”
John Roberts, you up?
