Spending more while getting less is usually a good sign of corruption, fraud, waste and incompetence.
Our education system in California is profoundly broken.

“Men have sacrificed and crippled themselves physically and emotionally to feed, house, and protect women and children. None of their pain or achievement is registered in feminist rhetoric, which portrays men as oppressive and callous exploiters.”

Imagine watching your state get looted in broad daylight and deciding the real problem is the guy documenting it.

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

I don’t understand why she is still a professor at Stanford
Save Math@savemathnow
“Jo Boaler is a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, with an enormously influential body of work …. Her work got Algebra removed from middle schools across the Bay Area. It is some of the most incompetently or dishonestly conducted research I have seen in a decade as a journalist.”

After folks laughed at AOC for not knowing vaquero history, I knew Wikipedia would alter their meaning to fit hers, so I took a screenshot, and they finally did rewrite it. Wiki removed vaquero from 'The origins of the vaquero tradition come from Spain...'
Open Source Intel@Osint613
AOC making fun of Rubio: "My favorite part is she he said cowboys are rooted in Spain. Uhhh, speak to Mexicans & African slaves!" FACT CHECK: Cowboys trace their roots to Spanish cattle herders. Spain brought the tradition to Mexico, where it evolved into the vaquero system, later moving north into Texas and the American West which later became the American cowboy.

@TheChiefNerd He’s not wrong. There’s a movement among people who think capitalism has gone too far. Unfortunately the opposite is much worse. A lot of this can be resolved with better policies, control of spending, the Fed stop manipulating assets

Tax exemption should not be a status bestowed upon those adhering to the demands of whatever party is in power. Virginia will now spend additional money to fight for the right to discriminate against those who have opposing views in the state.

@matthewgburgess @SamuelAbramsAEI @WSJ Undergrad Econ is where I learned about socialism from a socialist professor.
English
Requiring economics for all college majors is a great idea.
@SamuelAbramsAEI argues persuasively in the @WSJ that young people enamored with socialism should learn undergrad economics (and statistics) so they can at least understand how capitalism works and why, and make their case from knowledge and not ignorance.
I've also heard colleagues make analogous arguments that right-leaning students benefit from learning about market failures (and deadweight loss, gains from trade, etc.) in undergrad econ classes, to sharpen their arguments.
Yes to all of it, I say! Basic economics (and quantitative reasoning) is essential to understanding all of our major policy debates and tradeoffs. Making it a core part of liberal/civics education seems like a good idea.

Lines are being crossed that fully delegitimize a local government. This is not the first, of course. It should be the last.

RFK Jr. just EXPOSED the massive healthcare fraud machine: "We are paying for fraud now as much as for medicine."
"Today, the biggest job in New York, 650,000 people, the biggest employment niche is home care. These are family members who are getting paid to do things that they used to do as family members for free.”
What makes it worse: CMS cannot verify if the work was even done. No tracking, no proof, just taxpayer dollars flowing.
The result: Medicaid spending DOUBLED under Biden, with fraud now rivaling real medical care.

The Governor appoints 4 of the 12 members of the Coastal Commission, and he appointed the Chair. So spare us all

The whole thing's really simple I think. Some people in academia last decade stuck their necks out against illiberalism within the academy. They did so when it was difficult and professionally damaging to do so. Either those people get more authority within the institution and lead it out of the present impasse, or they don't. One or the other.
Don't expect the old guard to have any interest in solving old problems, which they don't even perceive as problems.

It’s not just that they were policing language. They were prohibiting a necessary question by publicly shaming the person who dared to ask it.

Democrats are discussing plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose it again. Carville (curiously on a national podcast) told Democrats to keep the plans quiet: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.” ... jonathanturley.org/2026/04/17/fk-…
