People here love to shout how Colbert "lost $40M a year," but ignore the millions in advertising revenue + the free advertising for Paramount titles and properties via guest interviews. Colbert was the face of the corporation. It's not as simple as the stat you keep repeating.

I suspect UF DEI policy would change quickly if all the Black football and basketball players transferred to another school. It wasn't until 1958 Black people could even attend the University of Florida & it wasn't until 1970, UF had its 1st black football player.

.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth. The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution. Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.

@Wraithlaw42 @girlpowertbh So if I charge you with a serious crime, you should spend your entire life in prison - regardless of whether or not the charge was frivolous?

I still don’t understand why we didn’t make it illegal for impeached former presidents to run for re election when we had the chance

United States Senate candidate Graham Platner launched a blistering attack on the political establishment alongside Senator Bernie Sanders during the first stop of their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. Platner took aim at long-serving politicians, specifically calling out Senator Susan Collins and declared that the current system exists solely to enrich elected officials while leaving everyday Americans behind. "We will not just fight the oligarchy, we will defeat the oligarchy and the political system that it maintains. We will defeat the political system that it maintains.” “The politics of Susan Collins, a politics that turns politicians into millionaires but tells you to be grateful for crumbs. It is a lie. It is a lie intended to serve the billionaire class."

@billybinion Avg. teacher starting salary is $70k. Avg. class size is 24. That’s over $900k per class being spent on administration. K-12 doesn’t need to cost this much, if the money is spent on the right things.

Fun fact: NYC spends over $42,000 per student each year—roughly 4x the average in-state tuition at a public college. Yet only about 28% of the city’s 4th graders read proficiently. And people like Zohran Mamdani want you to believe Jeff Bezos is the one failing the public.

Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

The Boca Ciega High School in St. Petersburg, FL graduation turned chaotic after a fight broke out. What should’ve been a proud day of celebration became a spectacle of drama for families & graduates.

@AndrewCFollett Is $120m a lot for a national party in an election year? Seems awfully low.

@JustinMacmahan Consistency. SGA gets that call and Wemby gets mugged with no call. If that is a foul then Wemby is fouled on every single possession. Thats the problem. The calls only seem to go one way.

Why is everyone is so mad about this one? Fox’s knee makes contact with SGA’s foot, which is a foul. At that point SGA does what he’s trained to do and avoids landing firmly on his feet. He’s not gonna look down to see if Fox vacated his landing space

@bryanrbeal I think NPs are great for routine ailments. I also agree that the fee should be less.

If I have to see an NP instead of a real doctor, I want a 50% discount on my bill This is quite the racket healthcare providers have devised. Most of the time you go to the “doctor“ you’ll never see a doctor at all. You’ll see a nurse practitioner. But they’ll still bill you as if you had seen a doctor. Even though the nurse practitioners are far less educated and trained, and paid much less.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ

Employers are clamoring for workers who can do doctor-like work but who are trained faster and can cost them less. on.wsj.com/4wMBXbr

@ginamilan_ I thought the Harris campaign made that abundantly clear. Celebrities hold no sway in politics.

60 Minutes is wheeling out Hollywood actress Sally Field to fear-monger that our First Amendment is at stake. Newsflash: Nobody gives two shits what celebrities have to say. 🥱

Hey @SenRickScott, interesting to see you acknowledge the lousy Florida economy. Question for you? Whose been in charge? As a reminder, decades of Republican Governors (you included), Republican legislative super majority, etc. I agree, you are all failing us. Can't wait to vote for @davidjollyfl as our next Governor.

More troubling news for Florida job numbers this morning. Florida’s unemployment rate is still way above the national average, 65 out of 67 counties are over the average as well, and our state had the second-fastest unemployment increase in the country. Every Floridian deserves a shot at the American dream. We need to buckle down to bring back jobs, get government out of the way, and get our state back to work.

@EricLDaugh I’m so sick and tired of the “I will release” press release. Either do it or don’t. It’s nonsense.

@ByTheWizard85 @girlpowertbh Yes, for impeachment, that is done by the Senate. The articles (charges) failed. The OP asked for Trump to be punished absent a conviction. My post was meant to point out the silly standard that is.

@Wraithlaw42 @girlpowertbh Because you need to be convicted in a court of law for that to happen. I’m sorry that you feel the accused shouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves

@girlpowertbh Some of y’all missed the point. My reply was to a post asking for impeached President’s to be punished. Trump was not convicted, the articles were brought and they failed. I see similarities to a person charged with a crime, but not convicted.
