Here’s What the Latest Epstein Files Say About His Ties to Higher Ed New documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday reinforce that long after his criminal convictions, many prominent professors continued to communicate with him.

Previous news reporting and document releases have shown that Epstein kept a number of academics close, among them was Lawrence Krauss, a former Arizona State University professor who in 2017 sought Epstein’s advice amid sexual-misconduct allegations.

Patriot Games, National Mall state fair, White House UFC fight: Trump reveals DC America 250 plans President Trump detailed major events planned in Washington, D.C., for the 250th anniversary of the U.S., including the Great American State Fair.

β€œOne young man and one young woman from each state”

Competing in a national spectacle
Hosted by political power
Wrapped in a Christian nationalist patriotism

We’ve reinvented the Hunger Games, minus the subtlety.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

The Catholic League’s Epstein defense is even worse than you think This is a desperate attempt by Bill Donohue to redefine abuse, shift blame, and protect institutions over children

"The only moral stance here is clarity: Sexual abuse of minors is sexual abuse, full stop. If you can’t bring yourself to say that, you’re part of the problem."

The overlooked SNAP recipients: 1.1 million college students With benefits suspended, college students β€” especially those with children β€” have been distracted by a battle over food they never expected to fight.

An estimated 1.1 million college students rely on SNAP. For such students, a delayed SNAP payment isn’t a mere hiccup, but a serious setback that can imperil their education, their health and stability for their children.

SCOTUS rejected Kim Davis’s attempt to turn her religion into a license to discriminate. Public officials serve everyone, not their personal faith. Church & state must stay separate. Equality isn’t optional.

If you were giving Kim an award, what would be the name of the award?
