The gutter racism at work in the Claudine Gay situation and the craven, wholly unforgivable complicity of the NYT in the stitch up I think will go down as a shining light example of how the liberal US establishment helped pave the way for Trump’s fascism.
Princeton University’s student newspaper is reporting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth plagiarized portions of his senior thesis. www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025...
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ’03 ‘plagiarized’ small portions of his senior thesis, experts say. But how serious is it?
A review of the senior thesis of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ’03 by The Daily Princetonian, in consultation with three plagiarism experts, found eight instances of uncredited material, sham paraphr...

Those Paul Weiss has betrayed include lawyers who have worked with the firm and law professors who have steered their students there. Belonging to both groups, I feel doubly betrayed. That once great firm should back out of its Trump deal. Better late than never!

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one.
Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful.
Universities should treat it that way.

Calling the richest person in the world (who is also a massive racist and far right ideologue)’s attack on the liberal state (worker protections, civil rights, unions, food safety, social security etc) “ambitions to tame Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy” is genuinely evil. We are absolutely cooked
Exclusive: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are sending representatives to agencies across the federal government, four people familiar with the matter said, to begin preliminary interviews that will shape the tech executives’ enormous ambitions to tame Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy.
DOGE is dispatching agents across U.S. government
Federal officials are already dealing with surrogates from Elon Musk’s and Vivek Ramaswamy’s nongovernmental body before Donald Trump is sworn in again.

In 2016 the world signed the Paris Agreement to limit climate change to 1.5C. Now, 8 years on, we're already passing it.
As Los Angeles burns, the cost of inaction couldn't be clearer. It's incalculable.
This was never inevitable. It's a political choice. We must change course.
