Kentucky Strips Dem Governor of Senate Appointment Powers – HotAir

Kentucky continues to make (legal) changes to its election laws, and the latest one of these is something that other states should probably consider if they aren’t already doing so.

How Colleges Are Getting Around State Bans – HotAir

Earlier this month I wrote about the University of Texas which was laying off around 60 employees in order to belatedly comply with a state law prohibiting DEI.
