Ohio University faculty members not being renewed after 2020-21 will hear Friday, May 15. Faculty furlough program will also be announced Friday.

[David B Castle @dbcastle806]

I imagine there will be furloughs for all employees. I know faculty will hear about the faculty plan on Friday.

@chrislhayes @JonathanTurley Having said that, I agree - the Republicans were on the right side of history and justice in that policy dispute.

[David B Castle @dbcastle806]

@chrislhayes @JonathanTurley This was a classic case of the legislative and executive branches at complete loggerheads over national policy. If Johnson had been successfully removed (over disagreements re policy), the US would become (in essence) a parliamentary system.

[David B Castle @dbcastle806]

There is an error in today’s NYT crossword. The clue for 43 down is “noted parliamentary measure of 1773.” The required answer is “tea tax.” The Tea Act of 1773 did not implement any new tax, but exempted the BEI Company from the existing tea tax.

Public opinion shifted against Nixon when the American people realized that he lied about Watergate (the tapes proved it). He was caught in a bald-faced lie. That was intolerable in 1974. How quaint.
