BUSINESS AS USUAL IN L.A.
He’s getting paid $500,000 for 3 months of work? And they call this a charity.
Gross. Offensive.
I’m getting paid $0 – as are many people.
It’s a good thing there will be strings on the Federal money for California. https://t.co/ZWabYTxOxg

OVERHEAD RATES HAVE BEEN A SCANDAL FOR YEARS. AND NEGOTIATING RATES INSTITUTION BY INSTITUTION IS A RECIPE FOR CRONYISM, AND REMOVES INCENTIVES FOR EFFICIENCY.
The freakout over this is something to behold. To be clear, this revolt is in response to administrative bloat being held at 15% of overall grants.
Charities are routinely held to overhead costs well below this or else their donations suffer. https://t.co/9JG6vDAzFz

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
DOGE has forced democrats into the position of defending waste, fraud and abuse.
Idk if that was ever the intention, but democrats have fallen into this trap. And the more info comes out, the worse they will look. They will end up like the proverbial deer in headlights.

ACTUALLY, SOME OF US ARE EXPRESSING SUPPORT: As Trump’s DEI Crackdown Escalates, Law Faculty Choose Between Silence And Resistance. And a lot of the silent ones are fine with it but are afraid to say. DEI has been made unchallengeable in the academy by bullying and enforced conformity, not persuasion.
THE SCIENCE WAS SETTLED: Everything You Thought You Knew About Tetanus is Wrong. It’s not really news, though, that rust isn’t what causes tetanus.
MATT TAIBBI: On “Internews:” A big rock overturned.
OPEN THREAD: Ain’t no party like an open thread party.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: GOP senators back Trump’s space-based ‘Iron Dome’ plan with $19.5B bill.
CHANGE:
🚨BREAKING: Kristi Noem announces that FEMA has addressed 80% of the cases in Western North Carolina within just five days.
Real leadership.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
I don't know how to overstate this… but
Trump HAS to succeed in completely hamstringing the government.
When Democrats take the white house again (and they eventually will) the gloves will be completely off. When Leftists are in power they don't play.
Trump has to DISMANTLE…

I DON’T SEE THESE PEOPLE AS BEING ABLE TO HANDLE BEING GANGSTERED, SO THEY PROBABLY DON’T WANT TO START THAT UP:

THE INSTAWIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS: Scientists Just Revealed How to Cook The ‘Perfect’ Egg. Her methodology is not absurdly complex like this one: “The solution, they suggest, is to use a saucepan of boiling water at 100C and a saucepan of water at 30C and to transfer the egg from one to the other every two minutes for exactly 32 minutes in total.”
OR HE’S ANGLING FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION: “A federal judge early Saturday temporarily restricted access by Elon Musk’s government efficiency program to the Treasury Department’s payment and data systems…”
Is the federal judge taking the position that in the name of enforcing the Take Care Clause, it is the role of the judiciary to oversee whatever the President does with the executive power that the Constitution vests in him?
Is there some extra-legal notion that the federal judge should seize the power to put on the brakes when a President with questionable judgment is moving too fast? (I’m hearing some lawprofs singing that tune.)
It’s a previously unknown clause in Article II: The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States, unless he threatens the establishment’s feedlot.

WELL SAID, J.D.:
I cannot overstate how much I loathe this emotional blackmail pretending to be concern.
My kids, god willing, will be risk takers. They won't think constantly about whether a flippant comment or a wrong viewpoint will follow them around for the rest of their lives.
They will…
