I'm being to seriously question whether it was a good idea to put our intelligence, security, and diplomacy in the hands of podcasters and shady real estate developers.

Presumably JD Vance is going to be right on this waste fraud and abuse right?

Let's get this straight. Instead of investigating actual people incriminated in the Epstein files, we have Jim Jordan (credibly alleged sexual assault protector at Ohio State) grilling a women Hillary Clinton on capital hill. You can't make this ish up. Do your job, congress!

We are being told it's appealing to folks who want to finish faster, but it also could put pressure on people that only have enough time for 3 credits per 15 weeks. At UTEP, we offered 7 week courses for masters program but Ed.D. were always full 15 weeks. I haven't seen any actual evidence.

Religious Groups Sue Trump-Vance Administration Over Immigration Raids at Houses of Worship Diverse Communities Say Policy Violates Religious Freedom and Threatens Congregants Boston, MA β€” A large coalition of faith groups filed a lawsuit today against the U.S.

If Don Lemon is a criminal for disrupting a house of worship, shouldn't ICE be in violation too?

Dear Social Media- It is actually possible to deplore Hamas/Oct7 and the Islamic Republic of Iran while also rejecting the actions of Israel amongst civilians and it is possible to want violent criminals to be locked up or deported without supporting ICE kidnapping children and shooting civilians.

It's embarrassing as a Nebraska native that they won't have a ed admin department at the flagship university. This serves a public good for k12 and higher education.
