A new state commission and a local task force are digging into how institutions like Christopher Newport University and others used eminent domain or land acquisitions to displace Black neighborhoods — and they’re making the findings public for the first time.
Virginia’s probe into public universities’ displacement of Black neighborhoods no longer theoretical • Virginia Mercury
A Newport News task force revealed its preliminary findings in a recent meeting, the most public update yet in a process many residents have urged be more transparent

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Pretty sure at this point everyone knows what is true about Trump and Epstein (whether they admit it or not). What remains to be seen is, now that there is more evidence to the fact, will anything be done about it, or… business as usual?
Newly released emails suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s abuse and spent time with one of the victims.
Trump’s behavior says it all—he’s panicking and desperately trying to get House Republicans to pull their names off the discharge petition.
Americans deserve full transparency. #ReleaseTheFiles

Republicans refused to fund tax credits to prevent Americans' health care costs, but they snuck in a provision that will give Republican Senators millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
They won't help you, but they'll take your money for themselves. This stinks to high heaven.

GI Hegseth has made it clear that he's remaking all military branches in his own image: the epitome of mediocrity.
Hegseth: "No more social justice. No more political correctness. No more toxic ideological garbage that infected the department. No more identity months. No more DEI offices. No more dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division. No more gender delusions."
