She's putting together a team.

Assata Shakur was convicted in 1977 of the first-degree murder of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster. After escaping from prison in 1979, she became the first woman to land on the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list. Shakur was part of a previous wave of radical left-wing violence. She was a member of the Black Liberation Army (BLA), a Marxist militant group devoted to "killing cops" and seizing "control of their communities," according to the Maryland state police. You’d hardly know it from the media coverage of Shakur’s death on Saturday at the age of 78. She died in Cuba, the Communist nation to which she had fled, from health conditions and advanced age.

Northwestern University describes journalism professor Ibrahim Abusharif as a "former book publisher" who "has been involved in projects to translate—from Arabic into English—the Quran." It does not give examples of those projects, perhaps because they include the Quranic Literacy Institute (QLI), an organization Abusharif cofounded that raised and laundered money for Hamas and was forced to pay damages to the family of a teenaged terror victim. But Abusharif has not always worked in academia. From 1990 to 1998, he served as cofounder and treasurer of the QLI, an organization in suburban Chicago that ostensibly worked to "translate and publish sacred Islamic texts." It was actually a "money-laundering clearinghouse" for Hamas, as revealed in an early 2000s lawsuit from the family of David Boim, a 17-year-old American killed in a 1996 Hamas terror attack in Jerusalem. A federal court found QLI liable for the attack in a 2004 ruling that provided the Boim family with $156 million in damages. That ruling was

A Syracuse University visiting scholar and the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner for commentary described Israelis as "thieves," "child killers," "sexual abusers," "thugs," and "criminals" at a conference in Detroit over the weekend.

The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, an offshoot of the left-wing dark money behemoth Arabella Advisors, tried to enforce that dictum when recruiting an army of handsomely paid left-wing influencers to spout Democratic talking points through an effort called "Chorus."

Covington & Burling, the white shoe law firm where former attorney general Eric Holder serves as senior counsel and has conducted exorbitantly priced diversity audits for corporate clients, is facing accusations of racism from one of its former associates.

When Texas Democrats left the state on Sunday to deny their Republican counterparts the quorum needed to pass a new congressional map, they said they were fighting a "rigged-redistricting process." They had an odd way of showing it.

An anonymous group of Columbia University faculty members released a statement suggesting a Jewish member of the school’s board of trustees "leaked" acting president Claire Shipman’s private text messages to the Washington Free Beacon. In reality, Columbia itself provided the messages to a House committee, which released them in a letter, as a Free Beacon report on the texts noted.

President Donald Trump's legal team is threatening to slap CBS News and parent company Paramount with a fresh defamation lawsuit over a 60 Minutes segment that likened Trump to a "mob boss" and accused him of criminal bribery.

United Steelworkers president David McCall is pressing the Trump administration to kill Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel's $15 billion merger, noting in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that he remains "unalterably" opposed to the deal. It's an awkward position for McCall to be in, given that many of his local union leaders and members back the deal—and given his long history of attacking the man he must convince to nix it, President Donald Trump.

Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday, arguing that the administration violated its constitutional rights when it froze more than $2 billion in Harvard grants and contracts. Without that money, the lawsuit states, Harvard "would need to operate at a significantly reduced level."

In December 2021, Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison met with a group of individuals tied to the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud case, including at least two eventual defendants. They openly offered financial support for "elected officials that are interested in protecting communities of color" and complained about unfair state scrutiny of their nonprofits and restaurants. Ellison, in turn, said he was "here to help."

When Brown University sophomore Alex Shieh published an online database spotlighting administrative bloat at the Ivy League school, he became the subject of both a university investigation and a hacking effort that shut his site down. Now, he's barreling ahead, having launched a revamped version of the site that corresponds with Brown's recent loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds.

The Palestinian Authority made another round of "pay for slay" payments to the families of terrorists on Tuesday, according to the PA's official newspaper, marking at least the second time it has done so since its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, issued a decree purportedly ending the practice.

In December 2023, months before Columbia University student activists took over Hamilton Hall, a group of them "ran riot" through the campus building and "scrawled obscene graffiti, including swastikas," a school janitor alleged in a federal discrimination complaint. Columbia did not investigate the ordeal because the swastikas were considered "free speech" and were "written in chalk and could be erased," according to the janitor, Mariano Torres.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate student who served as lead negotiator for the student group behind the illegal encampment that plagued campus last spring, is in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement custody after the Trump administration revoked his student visa, a senior State Department official confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon.

When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican's deep-red district, the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan "backlash" over Elon Musk's efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest's organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent.

As a prospective Senate candidate, Pete Buttigieg is denouncing the diversity trainings that have become synonymous with the Democratic Party's liberal wing, saying they look "like something straight out of Portlandia." As mayor of South Bend, Ind., he championed such training, with his administration implementing a series of diversity sessions that lectured cops on "sizeism" and "languageism" amid a surge in violent crime.

Days after President Donald Trump's National Institute of Health moved to cap government funding for so-called indirect research costs—that is, money tacked on to a research grant that universities use to fund administrative salaries and other expenses—Harvard Medical School sent concerned students and faculty a message encouraging them to "take advantage" of the school's "Countway Cuddles" pet therapy program.

As President Donald Trump moves forward with his plan to "own" Gaza and relocate its inhabitants, some citizens of the war-torn strip are expressing an eagerness to leave, citing a desolate living situation and an eagerness to live in "a country where you can hold your head up high."
