The DNC vs RNC money horse race story AND “leftists are scaring the Party establishment about November’s chances” story are both driven by legacy consultants who’re mad the DNC gravy train got cut off and that their candidates are getting challenged in primaries.

People think humanities majors will be brutally hit, but philosophy and english are pretty decent investments. Fine arts, not so much (Big surprise here is pharmacy) www.investopedia.com/degrees-with...

Pharmacy and Biology are not good fields to go into for a quick buck. Neither is social work, art history or fine arts, but all the chuds already knew that

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Bolts staff writer Alex Burness explains how Southern states ignored a Reconstruction-era law and manipulated the criminal legal system to prevent Black people from voting. This year, that has finally caught up with one state: Virginia.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Also once people see how good at speaking el-Sayed is, it's just not going to be the same story. It will become one of those things where everybody attacking Zohran for being normal comes off as a psychopath. IRL he comes across as a handsome doctor guy and Rogers emanates DUI.

I really hate Elissa Slotkin's patronizing "my theory of the case is that what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not the other way around" shit. It's one of her canned lines that she uses in her eventual attempt to run for president.

Elissa Slotkin • @ElissaSlotkin X.com Here's my theory of the case: If Democrats can figure out how to win in the middle of the country, we can make it work everywhere else. But what works on the coasts does not automatically work in Michigan, in lowa, in Ohio. So we've got to figure out the middle first. That is why I have been spending time in the middle of the country, in purple and red places. I've been talking with folks who voted for Trump about how they view things and what they're looking for in new Democratic leaders. And I want to say something about the Democrats organizing in tough places. These are people doing the hard work in red places, being good Democrats when it's hard. It is easy to show up where everyone already agrees with you. It is something else to show up where they don't, and do it anyway, because you believe it matters. I believe it matters. And I am going to keep showing up in those places. I hope you will too.have a theory: what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not in reverse. That's why we need to hear from people in places like Michigan, Idaho, and Kansas City. Because I'm in the business of winning elections. And we're all seeing what happens when Democrats lose focus on the middle class. I have aThe Midwest knows. DEN ••• ATS CRATS OCRATS to
