I will be forever sad the Cornell did this too. Making an ethical decision based on money is never going to work out for a so-called institute of higher learning.
The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

I’m watching the Live 8 documentary on CNN about when Republican administrations actually gave a crap about disadvantaged people and helped them.
They're playing "We Are The World"?!?!

Of course, we’ll get skewered on social media, but what about the folks that were killed during ICE raids in California? All needless, all performative BS. All people who didn’t choose to put themselves in harm way.
One guy killed one National Guard member and the media is treating it like it’s 9/11 because they’re scared the President will accuse them of underreacting if they try to apply even the slightest bit of proportionality

Why is this surprising anybody? They voted for a rapist, felonious traitor who rips off children’s charities and pays porn stars for sex.

Is this supposedly classified and that’s why you can’t tell us the topic of the call? And shouldn’t this info have come out earlier?
During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders.
One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.

You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince?
Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

Good summary of what a crazy place Republicans have put us in hartmannreport.com/p/when-does-...
When Does Trump Become Too Corrupt for the GOP?
He’s tested every limit of decency and democracy, and every time he does the GOP bends a little lower. At this point, the question isn’t just about Trump’s crimes; it’s about their complicity…

It’s a time honored tradition and one that everybody should always remember - it’s a good thing to have dirt on a President.
Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with.
Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?

Very intelligent and measured response. I’m not sure in her shoes I could’ve been as patient.
That time, Australian journalist Jana Wendt asked Toni if she will ever focus her writing on white people.
Toni's response:
“You can’t understand how racist that question is. You could never ask a white author when they’re going to write about Black people.”
I know Toni wanted to cuss.....

Here’s a hot take. The Bondi DoJ likely wiped the Epstein Files completely of Trump’s name. Now that the Epstein estate is releasing its trove of correspondence, the DOJ is scrambling to re-create what they deleted. Think how much work they’re putting themselves through to protect pedophiles.

Wisconsin Republicans are introducing a bill that mandates women use ‘catch kits’ when they have a miscarriage or abortion at home—forcing them to bag up their pregnancy tissue and bring it to the doctor as medical waste.

Excellent framing, and every legitimate reporter should see this
(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.
