It does not matter how many times he is corrected or people explain the value of the research, Paul does this shit every year.
Not only has Rand Paul increased this cost by a factor of 10,000, there was actually useful science behind the research as I explained in 2021.

The scale and speed of state censorship of campus really is amazing.
More than half of America's college students attend institutions in states that have passed laws censoring higher education since 2021.

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?

Answer? He wanted a *war*.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech.

This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights.

This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm

This is a pretty severe escalation from CBS, just straight up lying like this.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

Global TV has the rights to air "60 Minutes" in Canada. Networks like CBS sometimes deliver taped shows to affiliates like Global TV ahead of time. That appears to be what happened here: Friday's finished version of "60 Minutes" was digitally shipped up north.
