A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific. Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.

1/ The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights just released its report on campus antisemitism and Title VI. I testified at the hearing. The report is unanimous, bipartisan, & debunks the main legal theories behind recent attacks on universities for allegedly tolerating antisemitism. 🧵

Student journalists still believe that it’s more important to hold powerful people to account than it is to hold on to access to those powerful people. They haven’t become Savvy Insiders yet

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

Susan Collins usual tricks are no longer working - at least in Maine press. You absolutely love to see this.

A searing editorial from @pressherald.com: It’s Maine’s turn to be concerned about Susan Collins www.pressherald.com/2026/09/27/i...

"A university's obligation to the physical safety of its students is not one commitment among several, to be weighed against reputation or litigation exposure. It is antecedent to everything else the institution does." -- I wish our "professional " media had the guts of this student paper.

Really shameful behavior from Cornell, and I wonder how many of the guys here just have well-connected parents. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

Instead of spending nearly $270 BILLION on mass deportations ($2,358 PER taxpayer), we could fund: Medicaid for 12 million people. Healthcare for 5 million veterans. Free early education for 6.7 million children. Money for cruelty vs. money for community.

It seems like discovery is necessary to determine the truth of this disputed factual issue. 🤷‍♂️ There can be no justice without both transparency and accountability.

UPDATE: The Justice Department denies the lead "Broadview 6" prosecutor was told to seek felony charges after recommending a misdemeanor. "Mecklenburg’s recommendation in writing to the supervisory chain of the U.S. Attorney’s Office included the [conspiracy] felony as the strongest charge." ~ DOJ

The owner of a top BBQ joint in Texas decided to cut brisket, the top-selling item, from the menu rather than institute a $10 markup for customers. The decision was fueled not just by the skyrocketing price of brisket but by inflation.

I work in submarines, and this is why the industry was aghast that OceanGate did what it did, against all engineering and logic. Classed, certified commercial submersibles have a 50+ year perfect safety record. We know why - it's this.

approximately one industry in our civilization has figured out "systematically keep track of things that go wrong, and then systematically try to prevent them from happening again", and this is the result

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

NEWS: Trump just issued a directive that makes it legal to kill endangered species — as long as it wasn't intentional. The Endangered Species Act is now meaningless.

Former Senator Kyl of Arizona has died of a neurological disorder.

For the love of all that is American, can the ex officio member get an injunction against the demolition of the Kennedy Center, now? Talk about irreparable harm. This gang of scofflaws cannot be allowed to destroy a national jewel. Again.

The rule they are overturning was predicted to give $120 billion in public health benefits by 2047, with projections that by 2035, it would would prevent up to 1,200 premature deaths, 870 hospital and emergency room visits, 360K asthma attacks, 48K school absence days and 57K lost workdays each year

Every Christmas, the Nashville Zoo hosts a glorious event called "Zoolumination," which uses Chinese lantern traditions to light up the zoo ground with stunning light displays. Not this year. The Trump administration denied visas to the artisans who put it all together. #WarOnChristmas
