Cannot emphasize this enough. Academia has lost control of the conversation about itself and needs to grapple with public opinion, not explain, again, what it thinks public opinion would be if they only read the journals. (They will not read the journals.)

Universities and departments have to be more open to a wider spectrum of worldviews. (That includes viewpoint diversity in departments like economics!) The status quo is not sustainable, and quarantining all intellectual diversity to “Civics Centers” is not a solution either. 10/



You know if the shoe were on the other foot and McConnell was governor, and the Senate seat was held by a Democrat, he would’ve already filled this seat.



I think Beshear's unwillingness to push on this shows he is not the fighter Dems need for the White House run in '28. It's the same walking on eggshells that gave us Merrick Garland. If he can't push on McConnell's health, then why would we think he has the drive to go after Trump cronies, to root out the corruption the entrenched, and to fight to prosecute those who aided foreign interference. I actually thought he was a strong wildcard pick with potential for the '28 ticket. Not top of my list, but not bottom either. Now I think his campaign is DOA.


He is expertly media trained. Like, it’s actually impressive loool.
