A Florida school board that was at the epicenter of national debates over COVID mask mandates and book bans just lost its conservative majority. 
Two Democratic-backed candidates beat out conservatives in the school board election in Sarasota — flipping the board's majority.

Florida school board at the center of culture wars loses conservative majority

Democrats say the flip indicates voters want education to move on from political fights over social issues, while conservatives point to their wins.

Tenured Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren living every faculty member’s dream of publicly destroying your shitty university president.

"If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot… teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else." - @warren.senate.gov www.cnn.com/2025/11/17/p...

Summers' first statement addressing the newly unveiled Epstein correspondence comes on the heels of Sen. Elizabeth Warren calling on Harvard to sever ties with Summers and putting new pressure on the elite university to hold Summers accountable for his close friendship with Epstein. Warren, a former Harvard Law School professor and now the Democratic senior senator from Massachusetts, had said in response to a CNN inquiry that she believes Summers — Harvard's former president and one of its most prominent faculty members — "cannot be trusted" with students given his past relationship with Epstein. "For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment," Warren told CNN. "If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers, and institutions - or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else."
