MIT University just released free online courses.

No textbooks or fees required.

Here are 10 courses you don't want to miss in 2025:

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As Trump guts the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Ronald Reagan perfectly sums up tariffs.

The logic is sound.

“I know you’ve been waiting for me to say something crazy, but that wasn’t quite crazy.”

Here’s Curt Cignetti at Media Days in July talking about how his team was picked 17th in the conference.

There’s calling your shot. Then there’s this self fulfilling prophecy. #iufb

Trump said every legal scholar wanted Roe overturned. That's false, as we've written before. #debate https://t.co/5qK4N5pkH6

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

All four are true:

1. Three and a half yrs ago, Donald Trump became the first President in American history who lost an election and refused to concede or participate in the peaceful transfer of power.

2. Trump then tried to overthrow the election. He then incited an insurrection. He’s been criminally indicted for these actions.

3. Three and a half yrs later, Trump remains the leader of the Republican Party and its nominee for President.

4. Trump isn’t to blame for the fact that he’s still the leader of the Republican Party. The Republican Party is.

In a speech in Las Vegas touting the Biden administration’s efforts to curb gun violence, Vice President Kamala Harris said that 1 in 5 Americans have lost a family member to gun violence. That’s Mostly True. https://t.co/hBGXZhC6zm

@AlcovyE Dude- Gold standard for showing how government works behind scenes. Have binged the series multiple times & every time I watch I catch more nuance. The collaboration they had from former staffers in multiple White House & Congress offices plus amazing cast & writing.
