Cornell paid the Trump administration $60 million to appease them, and its police reportedly left the words I was raped out of a report to the DA. Only 51 people were found responsible from 1,216 assault reports. Kotlikoff should resign, and the trustees can go with him.

ICE shot a man in a car in NYC, injuring him. There was a five year old child in the car, who was physically unharmed but will be traumatized. Mayor Mamdani is outraged and spent nearly 2 hours on the phone with Trump @lizadonnelly.bsky.social on substack lizadonnelly.substack.com

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.Marco Rubio, mouth agape, as he announces sweeping sanctions on the ICC to try to punish them for acknowledging Bibi Netanyahu’s war crimes

Judge Sorokin orders vindictive-selective prosecution discovery & disclosure of grand jury minutes for Ksenia Petrova, the frog embryo researcher. "Credible showing [she] was prosecuted due to her status as Harvard-affiliated researcher & J1 visa holder." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
They, in turn, reproduce under-oath statements made by a longtime customs
attorney in Petrova's federal habeas proceedings, which also concerned the events at issue in this
case. Doc. No. 45 at 13. The attorney had provided a sworn declaration attesting that, during his thirty-five-year career, he was not aware of any person having been prosecuted for smuggling without having been processed by customs officers for a "failure to declare" violation, nor could
he recall ever seeing smuggling charges brought for failing to declare a research sample
regardless of the traveler's willfulness. Id.; Doc. No. 67 at 22 (quoting same declaration). In the
circumstances presented, the foregoing suffices to satisfy Petrova's burden of supplying "some
evidence" of discriminatory effect as the relevant caselaw requires. The cited declaration
comprises a credible showing that Petrova was prosecuted due to her status as a Harvard-affiliated researcher and J-1 visa holder-
facts which "some evidence" before the Court also
shows placed her in the crosshairs of those presently controlling the Executive Branch. E.g., Doc. No. 67-2 (referencing visa and "educated individuals with a pedigree"); Doc. No. 67-4 at 5 (responding to "fake news" and mentioning Petrova's affiliation with Harvard); see also Doc.
No. 67 at 9-10 (describing context in which Petrova's case arose and actions targeting Harvard
and higher-education-related visa holders). The same declaration also credibly shows that other
travelers who have willfully failed to declare research samples or similar items but were not
Harvard-affiliated visa holders were not treated the same way.
