Eight years after our colleague Jamal Khashoggi’s body was dismembered by a bone saw, there has never been high-level accountability for the horrific crime, the Editorial Board writes. "The Saudis do not deserve the benefit of the doubt."

Opinion | Saudi Arabia wants America’s nuclear trust. Remember Jamal Khashoggi.
The regime tried to cover up its assassination of a Post columnist eight years ago. Don’t believe it wants a peaceful nuclear program.

There is no one in my time in the media who has more consistently given off the aroma of unethical striver than Benny. From Day One it was obvious what he was and it remains amazing that this has been a boon to his efforts rather than a hindrance.

Let me put it plainly. The state auditor is scared to face a jury of his peers because he knows he will lose. And so he's running to the Mississippi State Supreme Court, begging them to wipe away the egg he smeared over his own face.

"If advocates for higher education want to regain public trust, they might start with better publicizing this fact" When we accept the reality that public tuition prices have been decreasing, it clarifies the options available for lots of higher ed policy problems www.chalkbeat.org/2026/10/01/w...

The surprising truth about those soaring college tuition prices
Most students don’t actually pay that much, and real tuition costs have been falling.

Last year, a pastor saw masked immigration agents arresting someone at her church and filmed them. DHS denied they were there. A year later, DHS finally acknowledged the incident — days after WH border czar Tom Homan claimed "no one has been arrested at a church." religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...
religionnews.com
Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.
(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.

This is how institutional research staff described the new IPEDS admissions survey. The most recent year of data might be of sufficient quality for analysis, but older years will be full of guesses and many selective colleges are missing due to successful lawsuits. www.urban.org/research/pub...
Colleges described an unusually difficult reporting process at every stage of the collection.

Most institutions spent at least 250 staff hours on ACTS, well above the Department of Education’s original 200-hour estimate, and more than a quarter of institutions spent 400 hours or more.
Only about one in six respondents had all the undergraduate data ACTS asked for. Older records on student characteristics, admissions, and financial aid were commonly incomplete or missing entirely.
Just over half of survey respondents were very or extremely concerned about the accuracy of their submitted data. Definitions that were ambiguous and that shifted partway through the collection period undermined confidence further.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).
