Another prominent Trump loyalist working on the 'grand conspiracy' investigation into Trump's perceived political foes has abruptly left the probe. Election denier Kurt Olsen's departure follows the abrupt quitting of Trump ally Joe diGenova earlier this month.

Watch me discuss the Cornell rape controversy with Michael Tracey.
I think the lesson of this is that women do not want to have casual sex with men they don't know well.
They'll end up hating themselves, being hated by other women, and even seen with contempt by the men involved. This is why these situations turn bad.
Maybe she was assaulted, maybe not, either way it was a terrible decision to make.
Women need to be told the truth.

Alongside all the other necessary court reforms, I’d be fine with legislation mandating that an order vacating a stay of execution must be unanimous. (As one of many interim steps toward abolishing the death penalty entirely.)

Hegseth says “anti-American losers in our media” are committing “treason” by not obediently amplifying his Iran war lies. He hasn’t held a war briefing for reporters at the Pentagon since May. Which means he hasn’t justified his actions to the public, even though he’s conducting a war in our name.

"calling on schools to strengthen instruction on the history and human toll of communism and socialism, and to ensure students understand the principles of liberty underlying America’s constitutional system" Now, where have I seen ideas like this before? Oh! www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Screenshot from my column which reads: As several characters in the classic 1980s movie Clue proclaim, when it came to the Red Scares, “Communism was simply a red herring.” Charisse Burden-Stelly, in her 2023 book, Black Scare/Red Scare, skillfully outlines how Blackness, particularly Black radicalism and the fight for racial justice, became synonymous with Communism and the dreaded moniker of being “un-American.” This scapegoating strategy meant that faculty members could be fired for being a current or former member of the Communist Party or for such transgressions as advocating as a member of a labor union, fighting for racial integration or being Black or homosexual.

Screenshot from my column which reads: And so, the U.S. House of Representatives devoting precious time to passing bills “denouncing the horrors of socialism,” colleges firing or suspending faculty and staff because of their speech, and students getting grabbed off the street for writing opinion pieces seem like relics of the past.

Yet these events are part of our current, dangerous escalation in repression.

NEW: Republicans went ballistic when New Jersey admitted to an error that allowed fewer than 400 noncitizens to vote since 2023. But when 72,000 mail ballots were rejected across six states in the 2026 primaries over technical issues, the GOP remained silent. Democracy Docket breaks down the data👇

Jesus Christ Cornell

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.
