It is beyond me how this country expects to host the world’s biggest sporting event next summer when every international visitor is basically rolling the dice on whether they’ll end up incarcerated The excuse is stopping “illegal work,” including anyone who freelances or contracts or might be in touch w/ their office while here, irrespective of whether they are working for a US employer.

What’s going on at WVU and elsewhere isn’t an absolute contraction of higher ed. Across the sector enrollments are lower but still historically high.

I think this is key to understanding last night’s results in Philly.

And it’s reasonable to feel that way. A Parker administration is going to be business as usual at a time when business as usual isn’t enough.

The shock of the Pelosi attack is that, again, Republicans are allowed to write off the most extreme elements of their coalition while Democrats become defined by Republican caricatures This is because there needs to be two political parties, locked in eternal contestation, for most political media to make sense. These parties have to be broadly similar.
