@npr.org is generally a very high quality news site, which is what makes this error so disappointing. Sure, hold the editor accountable, but, enough BS, you know who wrote this. Give up the underage sex abuse normalizer's scalp.

While this is a public institution, the bird's eye view is the Trump Admin didn't like these magazines, so it threatened UofA. Then UofA killed the magazines. A clear attack on speech.
The spokesperson then issued this lie -
“(UpfA) will never restrict our students’ freedom of expression.”

I'm not surprised that Georgia dropped this case but I'm disappointed. Fani Willis let us all down by sleeping with a subordinate. If she'd shown more integrity, we might have gotten a successful prosecution before the election, which effectively killed the case.

This is a critical moment. In a purely political and malicious prosecution, the Justice Dept got caught botching their indictment, and their responses are lying and indignation. The court should respond with contempt of court charges and the VA Bar should disbar the perps.

Poor Larry Summers. Who could have guessed that one of the key architects of the crash of 2008 would take a fall over his association with Epstein. I hope that Harvard sacks him and he suffers *some* consequences for his sins.

The Democratic wins tonight are great news, but we can't let up. The Republicans have just received a powerful message that they're going to underperform in the next election cycle. They're going to pull out all the stops to steal elections. We must be very vigilant.
