Nobody is saying this, but I will: This war will end in regime change - in Moscow. It won't be from an external military invasion into Russia. It will be mutiny and internal collapse that will bring Putin's regime down. It won't be overnight but it will happen.

Reminder that 43 percent of white Harvard freshmen in 2019 were athletes, legacies, families of donors or of staff (ALDS). 70% of those white applicants would not have been accepted if they were not ALDS. If the issue is fairness, there is your problem.

Study finds 43 percent of Harvard's white students are legacy, athletes, related to donors or staff

The number drops dramatically for black, Latino and Asian American students with less than 16 percent each coming from those categories, the study said.

Refusal to impeach Trump because the “Senate will acquit him anyway” is the same logic as McConnell refusing to put bills up for a vote “because the President won’t sign it.” It’s an abdication of Constitutional responsibility.

This is how one actually hacks an election. One doesn’t change the vote count. One alters the voter registration rolls so that when you present your ID to vote, your name is not there, or your address is wrong, etc. And then a huge line forms and hundreds of people don’t vote.

Trump ordered federal forces to quell Portland protests. But the chaos ended as soon as they left.

On Thursday, the first protest held since the federal agencies agreed to pull back their officers was a markedly more peaceful affair than in recent weeks.

@GStephanopoulos Every time I think impeachment is not the politically wise thing to do, Trump does something to make impeachment absolutely necessary, regardless of the politics. This man is simply unfit to hold the Presidency for one more day.

Can we please put to bed the nonsense that masks are the reason flu was so rare last year?

😷 The Univ. of Michigan has a strict mask policy 📈 The Univ. of Michigan is having a flu outbreak 🤣 So it looks like masks no longer stop the flu

Correction, it's 75% of white ALDS applicants who would have been rejected, not 70%, if they had not been ALDS.

California now monitors covid cases by vax status. I find it baffling that people claim vaccines do nothing to stop transmission when you cannot transmit when you are not infected. Even accounting for different likelihood to test, the pattern is clear.

@samstein It shows GOP Senators to be behaving just as Zelensky did when sitting on stage next to Trump and being asked if he was unduly pressured. Nobody wants to admit publicly they are being extorted by Donald Trump.

I still think people miss what was so significant about the January 6 riot. It wasn't just the violence or location. It was the timing, designed to disrupt the official counting of Electoral Votes. That's why it's important every participant be prosecuted and Trumpism eradicated.

@Bob_Schaper @OregonGovBrown @KEZI9 @KennedyDendy This is pretty much the definition of useless pandemic theater. There is absolutely no reason to mask up outdoors.

How does a former law clerk state such an utter falsehood like this? I mean, no, the PRA specifically says the records in question do NOT belong to the President personally and he cannot have them after leaving office.

Because those are his presidential records. He received them as the President. He's allowed to have them under the Presidential Records Act. Classified or not. Congress can amend the PRA, if it doesn't want former presidents to have their presidential records.

As we await the returns in Virginia, there is one key issue that worked to Youngkin's advantage re: schools and it is NOT "critical race theory." It's the fact that many districts, including Fairfax County Public Schools, remained shut down for the entirety of 2020-21.

The covid conundrum is pretty clear: Do you think there is anything that can be done at mass scale to control the spread of Omicron? I think it's clear, given the extreme spread throughout the world, that you can't. So the next step should be to stop pretending that we can.

Joe Biden was referencing his lifelong stuttering problem and how kids with stutters reach out to him. And this ghoul comes out of nowhere and pokes fun of him? This is pretty much the core essence of Trumpism.

Why is Philadelphia rejecting CDC guidance on mask mandates? Not only is it in the "Low" community level category, it is nowhere near the "Medium," not to mention "High" level, which triggers mask mandates per CDC. This is how you destroy faith in public health.

Nevada is a portent of a possible Bernie path to victory but not a determinant. It showed Bernie's strength among Latinos, for example. But not much else. South Carolina looks completely different. And so does every Super Tuesday state.

@BostonGlobe Equity backfire again. FFS, you don’t make things more “equitable” by eliminating advanced course options. You work to raise those who are struggling and/or come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
