Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes.

I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.
Auburn University requires faculty to review courses to comply with anti-DEI law
Auburn's provost office posted a web site on how to comply with state and federal DEI mandates on Oct. 31.

This has the same stench as WMDs and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Let's be clear, seizing Venezuela's oil was always the plan.

The report comes amid a wave of U.S. military strikes against alleged Venezuelan drugs boats—killing dozens this year.

I did not realize she started her career as a public defender in Bowie County Tx.

“Bill Gates and his pals were never going to be anything but fair-weather-friends to the climate movement, because they lack the political vision to imagine that the problems of global climate change are also problems of the global social hierarchy that they sit comfortably atop.”
Bill Gates's climate memo showed a stunning lack of political vision.

The climate fight was always going to require technologies AND markets AND a social movement to make inconvenient demands upon the powerful.

What did he think he was signing up for?

Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future.

It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.”

It’s method: a venture capital approach to politics.

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

Nancy Pelosi: "He's just a vile creature, the worst THING on the face of the earth." All the pearl clutchers can shut it. Trump has said worse and I’m glad he gets a taste of his own medicine.

I second the motion on the floor!

Isn't he the same guy that has been pushing for the redistricting of Texas to make sure that black people can't be represented anymore?

Like an abusive husband reminding his bleeding spouse he's the only one that cares about her right..... before he locks the door behind her & we heard screaming for help from the other side.

He's really perfected that "soft-spoken pastor that molests children" voice that also gaslights his wife.

Some voters have reportedly left without casting their ballots due to long waits. Please don’t let this stop you from voting, stay in line and make your voice heard!

It’s always democracy that must sacrifice in the direction of autocracy to prevent (?) autocracy from being implemented. And when this clownish scheme inevitably fails, it is only ever the fault of democracy.
It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.

The White House has posted a photo that shows Bari Weiss was in the room for the 60 Minutes interview of Donald Trump.

Weiss is obscured, but she's just to the right of Norah O'Donnell.

Yes let's re-open the government with these people who will argue in 'good faith' about a deal. Johnson hasn't seen anything or heard anything about anything for months and he's gonna do literally the same thing when Dems fold "I didn't hear about any deals, I don't know what you're talking about"
Q: What about the split screen between Trump only administering part of the SNAP program while he's having a Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago?

MIKE JOHNSON: The president had an annual Halloween-themed party. That's what he went back to. His obligatory tradition. I discount what you're trying to do there
