Texas A&M leadership orders The Battalion to stop printing weekly editions following abrupt ultimatum — join the university, or be stripped of resources, with only a day’s notice.

As a proud member of the Dick family and one that served in the Army alongside some bad ass women I'll gladly accept your apology on behalf of Dicks everywhere

We've got a pandemic and power outages in Texas, and our governor is on Hannity blaming renewable energy for frozen natural gas and a deregulation dream that will cost lives. Their popularity is because they blame anyone but themselves and you allow them to get away with it!
GOP Rep. Chip Roy claims Democrats will agree to undo Biden's signature legislation: "What are Republicans doing? Running away! Saying what? 'Oh they'll never give up their signature Inflation Reduction Act bill.' Bull. They'll give it up if we take it to them and hold the line."
This is the sentiment on the ground in
#Uvalde
that I've felt/noticed. Folks feel the state is going out of its way to blame local folks without taking any responsibility of their own culpability
State leaders *never* stop bragging about how they've allocated billions and billions of additional dollars for the Texas Department of Public Safety. DPS was on scene in
#Uvalde
but most of what I'm reading is about how local cops screwed this up? Something is wrong here.

I'll never forget the Texas A&M/USC game he announce and discussing Robert Williams from Oil City. La. It lead to a whole discussion about alternative fuels
When I was at TAMU the only time I ever got asked to leave a class was when a classmate in a POLS class I was taking advocated that we need smarter voters and should have a competency test. Like a literacy test?" I asked.
"Purity of the ballot box” was a term drafted specifically to disenfranchise Black voters following the Civil War. This justification was used again during the Jim Crow Era. And today, this lie was resurrected in the

6/17/23 my wife and I got married. Since then, her father undergoes triple bypass that summer. Fast forward in the early fall we learn that my SiL is expecting her 2nd. We do family photos the weekend after Thanksgiving. The next day, no heartbeat
@JStein_WaPo
Or hear me out they recognized that the GOP didn't have any plans to fix inflation other than say it is bad or worse they planned on defaulting on the debt ceiling in order to force Biden to cut SS/Medicaid to avoid defaulting, and use that as a 2024 campaign tactic
@admcrlsn
I just had this conversation with my wife. There is a legitimate theory that the right is composed mostly of people who just hate other people's joy. They mock VP Harris for her laughter and Walz for being his happy self. They also can't stand black, black, or women being happy.
@ArmandDoma
That's what you're taught in any form of basic/officer training. The goal is always surprise and overwhelm to the ideal point of quick and sudden surrender by the enemy.

school to be designated an eligible institution by the U.S. Department of Education to be a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
Texas A&M is one only five Association of American Universities (AAU) institutions with HSI designation.
The Biden Administration is recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have COVID into Texas communities.
The Biden Admin. must IMMEDIATELY end this callous act that exposes Texans & Americans to COVID.

Yeah I'm okay with this. Do other countries do this, not to the full extent but I mean the Raptors wear a Canadian BDU uniform theme for Armistice Day. Same with some hockey teams.
Before she could respond I asked her "Either you're a racist or a f#$&ing dumbass, either way not a good look." I was told by the prof I could either apologize for the language or leave for the day. I left. I'll never apologize for calling out dog whistles
@AggiesToday
Disagree here. I feel like Reed is still the better option because he's more of a dual threat. He'll make more of those throws with more reps.
This interview with Jim Schlossnagle in the Telegram is nuts.
Trev Alberts apparently told him, "‘You know, Jim, if you ever don’t feel like this is the place for you, that’s OK, and it’s OK to move on."

A block away, someone waved the Confederate flag as a truck blasting Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” rolled past.
This visual ending the piece shows the absolute separation from reality these folks have.

@JoePostingg
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but yes, a bachelor's degree is required, and most career officers receive a masters of some kind (usually in policy or security studies). And we also have officers who serve initially and return to college to get their comission.
I am begging any and all

attendees to hold out signs to make sure Ted Cruz knows, politely, that his non attendance of the football game would be preferred to that of his attendance.
Texas A&M AD Trev Alberts and Sen. Ted Cruz will have a media availability in the Kyle Field press box before the A&M vs. ND game tomorrow, speaking about NIL and current legislation regarding NIL.
Former A&M AD Ross Bjork and Cruz did this before the A&M/Bama game last season.

So was Clemson being unrealistic in its expectations? Clemsoning used to be a thing until Dabo broke through and won against FSU and won the ACC consistently

I have an idea. Get rid of one or two of your gender studies or critical race theory “teachers” and replace them with an armed guard. Let parents vote on that!!!
Republicans need to get smart people getting ballot initiatives like this everywhere!
Happy birthday to a great Texas President

I need to up my LBJ collection as I've more or less finished my RFK phase of politics and look to further expand my LBJ readings.

She's an Aggie!!! Bringing successful former students back home should trump any concerns folks have but apparently the whole "We don't see color, we see maroon" BS we heard during the summer 2020 protests show it was in fact exactly that. BS.
@TheKellenMond

@DrewSav
She and Lankford have had a good relationship up until now. She always pushed for bipartisan whenever and wherever possible. It honestly has shocked me it's taken this long for her to realize that the majority of her GOP Senate colleagues are no longer working in good faith
@SarahLongwell25
At the end of the day did it push them to:
A) Vote and then
B) put their mark next to VP Hariss' name.?
Looking forward to the next podcast to hear from them.

No but that's because those opening ceremonies were literally directed by Leni Riefenstahl to portray the Nazi ideals of an Aryan nation to the world. So maybe we don't try to compare satire and art with literal Nazism...
TAMU, like Texas is becoming less white, and that scares the pants off of white nationalists, who see any bend towards DEI as a bend against their perceived social ordered place. And also explains the effort to limit ballot access in Texas as well.

@cd_hooks
Yup, first it was "WHY AREN'T YOU DOING SOMETHING?!?" Obama then said, fine I won't act without your approval and they said "NO YOU CANT DO ANYTHING!!!!" Then when ISIL sprung up in the vacuum of doing nothing they yelled "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?!?!"
We have a plan to get College students to the polls across Texas. First up is we are renting buses to take the students to the polls at TAMU in College Station. But we need your help. We need to raise $3,000 to make this happen! Go here to donate:
I hate leftist purity tests. They don't understand politics is about winning. That is the one thing Republicans get. It's how they keep winning because a whole section of our body politic doesn't understand violent revolution ain't happening and if it did it wouldn't be glorious
