In follow up, in case you wondered what they removed. I'd say for some #libraries this is a good collection development tool. And yes, I saved a copy for myself.

Of interest for some. This is basically the "credit card limit" the Man has that he keeps cheating on by raising the limit every year (you hear this in the news, OMG if no one raises the limit, government shuts down).

In contrast, you and me, for most part, can't go over credit limit (or if we do, bad things happen).

Can't really know if the #PendejoInChief's education "efforts" succeed or not if you can't measure or assess them. On a side note, I often use and refer students to NCES data when doing education related research. That is now in jeopardy.

Federal District Court Deborah Boardman, Maryland issued preliminary injunction today blocking Trump’s attempt to #unilaterally eliminate automatic U.S. #citizenship for children born to #undocumented or temporary #immigrants on US soil. The nationwide injunction applies nationally and is more permanent than the 14-day temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 23 by a federal judge in Seattle. #trump #politics #courts #Democracy #constitution #legalresearch #govdocs
