So lot of ignorance today about what Diwali is. It is, actually, not a holiday celebrating any God. Not in any true sense.
And I have no idea why @OhioState is agreeing to this. This would be idiotic for the premier academic brand in America and the Big Ten to agree to. Same to a lesser degree for @PennStateFball @oregonfootball etc.
My hope is that @umich @UMichFootball and @USC_Athletics does not join this deal. This is a terrible idea, and the Big Ten is exceptionally stupid to even consider it. Financial benefits be damned. @JordanAckerMI
The Big Ten has signaled to Michigan & USC that it plans to move forward with a $2.4B capital deal, sources tell @YahooSports. U-M & USC face a tentative deadline (Nov. 20) before it may vote to extend the GoR without all members - an unprecedented step yhoo.it/4ovPNdN

Trump suggests $2,000 payouts to Americans as he defends tariffs on.wsj.com/4nKHjhy
Trump's success across the board has made it harder for them to (legitimately) argue that the Democrats are stopping them. Unless you understand the nuance, you have trouble making sense of this.

I mean, obviously the specifics matter. But if you ask average Americans, this is exactly how they feel. That's why even though it's more the Dems fault, the GOP and Trump are taking the blame.
Trump has spent 10 months sending the message that the govt does what he wants. Demolishing the East Wing was just an exclamation mark on that. So it shouldn't be surprising that Rs can't offload blame for the shutdown. If Trump wants the government open, why isn't it open?

And now, folks, it's time for "Who do you trust!" Hubba, hubba, hubba! Money, money, money! Who do you trust? Me? I'm giving away free money.
TRUMP ANNOUNCES $2,000 TARIFF DIVIDEND FOR AMERICANS President Donald Trump announced a $2,000 payment to most Americans, funded by U.S. tariff revenues. In a Truth Social post, he said the U.S. is collecting “trillions of dollars” in tariffs and will use the money to reduce national debt and reward citizens—excluding high-income earners. Trump called tariff critics “fools” and claimed the U.S. is now the “richest, most respected country in the world,” citing record stock markets and 401(k) values.

I was, until last year, on an H1B visa. And it’s not that US citizens don’t want to do my job - it’s that I don’t know any US citizen willing to subject themselves to be a postdoc for over nine years, like I was. US citizens will not fill these positions.
I have been avoiding talking about this topic because it brings a lot of stress and sadness for me. I never felt so unwelcome. Why are academics' H1B being targeted? We cost universities more than hiring an American, we are here because we bring something else. (1/2)

Why is Donald Trump continuing to pamper this pedophile?
“Within days of her arrival at a Texas prison camp in early August, Ghislaine Maxwell gushed in emails to her friends and family over the cleanliness and safety of her new surroundings… Maxwell was moved days after meeting with D AG Todd Blanche in July.” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ghi…

Er...
CNN's Ashley Allison says SNAP is having a "massive impact" after she went to her eyebrow technician who told her they had to fire people because clients don't have money to do their brows. The horror.

You literally cant fix this level of stupid. Every time she talks she proves she's dumber than we even thought.
NEW: I’m calling on Trump to cancel private jet flights instead of commercial airlines. Private jet flights often take a single billionaire passenger, but still put real strain on our air traffic control system. Trump is choosing to target commercial airlines that the rest of us take, rather than grounding his billionaire friends. That’s messed up — and shows you who he is about.

We shouldn't even be surprised anymore.
BREAKING: Just days after winning the NYC mayoral election, Zohran Mamdani flew to Puerto Rico — and attended a mosque where the Imam called October 7th a “silver lining.” Utterly disgusting.

I'm fine with this but this won't decrease costs.
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Rick Scott has IMMEDIATELY begun drawing up legislation in line with President Trump’s demands of giving the Obamacare money to the PEOPLE directly — not big insurance. “I’m writing the bill right now.” 🔥 “We must stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts and let them buy the health care they want. This will increase competition & drive down costs.” MASSIVE loss for Chuck Schumer as this will be politically disastrous to oppose! 🇺🇸

“Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted an order requiring the Trump administration make full Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) November payments by Friday.  Jackson’s ruling pauses some of the payments until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit can decide the administration’s motion to block the order pending its appeal.” The most left-wing Justice on the Supreme Court has rightly concluded that courts cannot order the appropriation and expenditure of tax dollars that are not there because of the #SchumerShutdown. The @SenateDems have always had the ball in their hands, and continue to refuse to take yes for an answer. 42 million Americans cannot receive basic food b/c of Chuck Schumer and his flock of sheep (which does not include Senators Cortez-Masto, Fetterman and King —the three Democrats who want not part of the Hunger Games Schumer and the rest of his caucus are playing.)

By Tucker's definition, he would've loved Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and Che. They all were 'culturally conservative'. Like Ben says...who gives a shit.
*Tucker Carlson says that Maduro is culturally conservative* Ben Shapiro: “Who gives a shit? He’s a communist dictator. Everyone in his country is eating dog. He’s shipping fentanyl to the United States to kill Americans. Why would I give a shit if he’s anti-LGBTQ?”
