Every day I get angrier abt that wretched Harper’s Letter, and the broader feckless, bothsider-poisoned media environment that treated it as legit.

I’m profoundly disappointed in the left-leaning types who gave reputational cover to a nakedly bad-faith doc.

And furious at the on-going silence.

Our statewide MAGA yellow journalism outlet has set their sights on another law professor. Wonderful.

That Viral Essay Scandal is (SURPRISE!) Actually About Trans People A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic. (Note for free subscriber...

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss:

It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!!

IV.
Habba is not the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey by virtue of her appointment as First Assistant U.S. Attorney because only the first assistant in place at the time the vacancy arises automatically assumes the functions and duties of the office under the F VRA. Additionally, because Habba was nominated for the vacant U.S. Attorney position, the FVRA's nomination bar prevents her from assuming the role of Acting U.S. Attorney. Finally, the Attorney General's delegation of all the powers of a U.S. Attorney to Habba is prohibited by the FVRA's exclusivity provision. Therefore, we will affirm the District Court's disqualification order.

NEWS: A unanimous Third Circuit panel rules that Alina Habba is not U.S. Attorney, cannot be Acting U.S. Attorney, and cannot have the powers delegated to her. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oh, yes, these ppl definitely want to create a true middle independent party.

They’d also like to inspect NPR’s wallet. Just for a moment.

I taught composition and technical writing at OU for three years. This decision is a disgrace. If instructors are expected to treat personal beliefs as formal β€œevidence,” then why even bother offering courses?

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?

The Trump Administration’s Data Center Push Could Open the Door for New Forever Chemicals The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicalsβ€”with limited oversight.
