It recently came to my attention that one of my undergraduate students had never heard of Elizabeth Taylor. Over 25 years of teaching, it’s glaring how little “cultural literacy” today’s youth possess. Most literary, musical, & cultural references are totally lost on them. What’s gone wrong?

The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) lawsuit to preemptively block certification of the results in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if the Republican loses is pure bunk, according to a growing chorus of legal experts, democracy advocates and politicians. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

51 years ago today, Carlton Fisk belted a walk-off home run off Cincinnati Reds right-hander Pat Darcy in the bottom of the 12th inning at Fenway Park to give the Boston Red Sox a 7-6 win in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

An Egg McMuffin with OJ is now over 10 bucks. If you’re working a minimum wage job, that’s more than half an hour’s work in Arizona, and even more in many other states. Everything is more expensive in Trump’s economy.

Laura Nyro made a rare recording of a non-original song when she recorded “Up on the Roof” for her 1970 album Christmas and the Beads of Sweat. Yesterday was Laura Nyro's birthday and we remember her with love and respect.

This was an Islamophobic info op against Abdul El-Sayed. They tried to frame him as a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. CBS’s Jan Crawford played along, even when the video clearly showed El-Sayed eloquently debunking the info op they were running against him. No reason to listen to her going forward.
