First, do not just say OK.

Yes, Dems will attempt to bludgeon you in 2026 over it, but you should have the Fetterman clip ready to go in response to any such effort.

Second, completely shutting them off - while I would love it - is politically dumb.

Many idiots will ignore Fetterman's honesty and lap up the pablum of "GOP is bad" that the Dems and legacy media will spew for the next year.

Third, offer compromise of step down of "temporary" subsidies (and that word ["temporary"] should be used at all times):

50% reduction for 2026
25% additional reduction for 2027
Eliminate "temporary" subsidy effective 2028

If Dems want to reduce those amounts and draw out the draw down, then get concessions on other parts of Ocare.

They will want all or nothing and it needs to be crystal clear that they are not negotiating in good faith. Independent voters care about that shite.

I just read that they don't expect SCOTUS to punch Trump in the ballz on tariffs until next year.

Why so long?

The premise of the article is that men/boys AND women/girls are struggling, but since women/girls are generally ignored, we only hear about men and boys "in crisis."

I chuckled quite a bit as I read the article.

I'd read that UCLA had done some sort of study about the possibility of converting the current track and field stadium into an on campus stadium but never took any affirmative steps towards making this a reality.


I've heard with the new D-Line extension on the LA Metro that should be open for the Olympics the on campus stadium idea I will come back up. Outside of the physical space the biggest concern is the super affluent neighbors who will want a say in everything, and even if a stadium is built, will want regulation over how the stadium is used.

Tulane went through this years ago when building an on-campus stadium and negotiating over other potential revenue generating events like concerts and even HS games.

Let this be a lesson to those of you who always moan about “studies” and how everything in the U.S. takes so long to build. Yes, the red tape slows shite down but it’s all there because someone, somewhere already learned the hard way what happens when you don’t cover all the bases.

Afew weeks ago, I published results from six waves of the massive Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) annual survey of undergraduate students. The data were unequivocal: the share of students identifying as a gender other than male or female—that is, as non-binary—peaked in 2023 and has halved in the two years since. This is a stunning reversal in the culture that will reverberate through society and politics in the coming years.

The Findings
The survey captures over 50,000 students per year from nearly 250 leading American universities. Its size guarantees statistical power and enables us to look at small subgroups like trans or queer people. FIRE data is a random sample, a small percentage of each university’s student body, and I wanted to be sure it triangulated with two surveys capturing a much greater share of the total. One comes from the elite Andover Phillips prep school near Boston; the other is run by Brown University’s student newspaper. Both interview a far higher share of their target pool than FIRE surveys (up to 50 percent for Brown freshmen, and 75 percent in the Andover case). As Figure 1 shows, these surveys corroborate the “peak trans” pattern in the FIRE data, revealing a rapid decline since 2023.

So 2 of the last 3 head coaching tenures at LSU end in a lawsuit with the university. Sounds promising for the next guy. Let's not pretend like O's exit was ideal either.
