As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

Data leads scientists to declare 2015 Paris agreement to keep global heating below 1.5C ‘dead in the water’ Last year was the third-hottest on record, scientists have said, with mounting fossil fuel pollution behind “exceptional” temperatures. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said 2025 had continued a three-year streak of “extraordinary global temperatures” during which surface air temperatures averaged 1.48C above preindustrial levels.

It's illegal for this man to touch her phone, threaten her, or in any way attempt to prevent her from recording in a public place. He should be charged. ICE agents will continue to break laws that are not enforced. An unenforced law isn't really a law.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.
