Hey, fellow educator, I see you. I know that you and everyone in your school are doing your best to work within the constraints that have been dictated by your state legislature. Keep doing what you can to support your students, and don’t forget to take care of yourself in the process.
Or maybe they just hoped that we were more desensitized to constant surveillance.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is the Democrats’ fundraising arm specifically for Senate races. It has been an entity for more than 100 years.
It’s not “what Schumer and the neoliberals still control after losing the DNC.” I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean.
It’s important because it’s one of the major three national Democratic Party committees that collect and spend funds on federal-level elections. (Republicans have parallel committees, too.)
Withholding funds from a specific Senate race is a pretty serious step for the party to take.
Yes, in the year 2026, I firmly believe that Andy Beshear is a life-long bureaucrat with a carefully cultivated public persona and no desire to rock the boat and shatter any possibility of a run for President.
This is not a hot take.
That’s an interesting angle. If that’s true, he probably wouldn’t have standing to challenge the law until the situation actually arose.
I lived in Kentucky for more than a decade, but I don’t know anything about its constitution.
Beshear is an attorney, and a pretty good one at that. I’m sure he knows exactly how the procedure is supposed to work. His style is to follow the appropriate procedure to the letter while continually communicating with the public in the interest of transparency.
“Ruthless” is not a part of his public persona. He’s a two-term Democratic governor in a state with a Republican super-majority in the legislature. He has spent a lot of time cultivating his “faith and family values” reputation, which could help push him onto the national stage. He’s not going to squander that for a situation where he doesn’t even get a say in the replacement. (Because, again, Republican super-majority. They knew this was coming and couldn’t stand the idea that the governor would have the power to appoint McConnell’s successor.)
As someone who once voted for a dead man, I assure you I had no illusions about what I was voting for.
Election law is pretty strict about final dates for changing ballots. My preferred candidate suffered a tragic death after the deadline. By voting for him, I knew I was giving my governor the right to choose his replacement, and the governor was very clear about who his choice would be. And I knew literally anyone would be better than Ashcroft.
I wonder if he went missing before or after the filing deadline for the primary. It’s not uncommon for an incumbent to be unopposed in their primary.
NDAs are probably not needed because HIPAA would stop them from disclosing information about a patient.
Thanks for trying to engage in a good-faith discussion here.
I’d have thought the guy who said, “Archaeology exists, bro,” would be interested in what archaeology is actually able to tell us.
The earliest evidence we’ve found of agriculture is from no more than 15,000 years ago.
The Roman Empire appears to be the earliest evidence we have of formal crop rotation, but that doesn’t mean they were the first to do it.
Letting fields lie fallow to replenish the soil was so important to ancient cultures that it’s recorded in the Torah as instructions received directly from God.
Leviticus 25:1-7
The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten…
I was trying to find out the background of Mary being portrayed with ultramarine robes in Catholic art (because it was mentioned in Sacré Bleu by Christopher Moore), and DDG’s links were largely useless.
I tried Google, which was better. Kagi gave me much higher-quality results. It’s probably time to bite the bullet and pay for a subscription.
Well, let me know when that happens. It sounds like the kind of district management I could really get behind.
