A case that isn’t getting the headlines it deserves: an LSU student was raped by an LSU football player. He admitted it, but the school is still letting him play football. How multiple systems have failed this young woman & why she went public to get the help she needs: youtu.be/LihN7hsNKnw?...

Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.
