CAMBRIDGE, MA — Local man Asher Grayson, who recently graduated from Harvard with a degree in neuroscience, confessed he feels woefully unprepared to join the workforce because the only thing he knows how to do is chant "Free Palestine!" "I'm starting to think my $500,000 of student debt wasn't worth it because I don't know a thing about molecular neuroscience," said Dr. Grayson, who finally earned his PhD in 2024. "Free Palestine!" Grayson is just one of several students who feel they've been failed by Ivy League universities that spent more time training them to protest Israel than helping them...

Fox Business senior correspondent Charles Gasparino reported on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s administration is giving insider information to Wall Street executives about ongoing trade deals. Citing “senior Wall Street execs with ties to the White House,” Gasparino wrote on X that people within Trump’s administration have alerted business leaders about an “agreement in principle with India.” He further reported that the deal could be used as a template for other trade deals the administration is working on with Japan and other countries.

By Jackie Roman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Food and beverages with high caffeine content may soon require clear labeling, and their effects may be studied after a spate of wrongful death suits and cardiac incidents across the country tied to energy drinks.

The FBI has determined that in the next six to 18 months, the Venezuelan government will try to use the members of TdA in the US to threaten, kidnap, and kill US-based Venezuelans critical of the Maduro regime. The FBI has said that Venezuelan officials are "likely using" members of the Tren de Aragua gang in order to destabilize the United States as well as other countries, according to a new report from Fox News. This comes after President Donald Trump has said that the government of Venezuela has purposefully been sending the terrorist gang members into the US. According...

Make Sunsets, sells “cooling credits," which pay to launch weather balloons made of biodegradable latex containing hydrogen and sulfur dioxide. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin is demanding a company that deliberately sends sulfur dioxide into the air to combat global warming provide detailed information on its practices.

A federal judge in California on Thursday barred the Trump administration from denying or conditioning the use of federal funds to “sanctuary” jurisdictions, saying that portions of President Donald Trump's executive orders were unconstitutional. But Orrick, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, said this was essentially what government lawyers argued during Trump’s first term when the Republican issued a similar order. “Their well-founded fear of enforcement is even stronger than it was in 2017,” Orrick wrote, citing the executive orders as well as directives from Bondi, other federal agencies and Justice Department lawsuits filed against Chicago and New York....

Here we go again—another judge sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, derailing President Donald Trump’s efforts to make our elections secure. A federal judge in Washington, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly — a Bill Clinton appointee — just slammed the brakes on Trump’s executive order that would’ve required proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Trump signed the order in March, pointing out that the U.S. “fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections” compared to countries like India or Brazil, which tie voter ID to biometric databases. He’s not wrong. There's no denying that our elections are a mess, with...

Mexico moves to ban Noem ads on illegal migrationMEXICO CITY – A Trump administration publicity campaign aimed at discouraging illegal migration is off to a rocky start, with Mexico’s government calling for the ads to be pulled and promising to ban such foreign “propaganda” in the future. The ads are part of an unusual, multimillion-dollar initiative paid for with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Shortly after taking office, Kristi L. Noem, the secretary of Homeland Security, announced the campaign, aimed at encouraging undocumented immigrants in the United States to self-deport, and warning foreigners against attempting to slip over the border. But the...

After my story on the FAA’s hiring scandal went viral, many of the people impacted and involved in bringing it to light reached out to me to share their stories in detail. While I initially intended to publish this in another outlet, after a couple of instances of radio silence and with life getting in the way, I put it on the shelf. Now, in the wake of the tragic plane crash on January 29 and a resurgence of focus on this topic, it’s more important than ever to get the story straight. I neither have nor claim to have...

A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order that requires voters to show documentation proving their U.S. citizenship to cast a ballot in federal elections. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from going forward with the proof-of-citizenship requirements as a lawsuit plays out, the Associated Press reported. The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic National Committee and leftist voting rights groups, claims that Trump’s order is “an unlawful action that threatens to uproot our tried-and-tested election systems and silence potentially millions of Americans.”

When I was in fifth grade at Central Elementary School, all the girls were obsessing over Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." The school library had two copies, and there was a waiting list to borrow the book. But there was another problem: Mrs. Horvath, the school librarian. She would not allow children to check out the book without explicit parental permission. And for good reason. It includes mature themes, like masturbation, menstruation, and young girls obsessing over their breast size. When my name came up on the list, Mrs. Horvath marched 10-year-old me down to the...

The other day, a court ruled the Trump administration can, in fact, deport Columbia's pro-Hamas agitator Mahmoud Khalil. By engaging in activities that violated the terms of his green card, Khalil signed his own deportation orders. The Left rallied around the antisemitic protester, calling his detainment an affront to free speech and fascism. It was neither of those things.As always, the Left picks the absolute worst people to champion as sympathetic victims of the Trump administration's America-first immigration policies.And they've found another one. This time it's a lab worker at Harvard who was arrested by ICE.Dartmouth professor Paul Novosad posted...

President Donald Trump plans to meet on Thursday with Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who published the Signal story in March and the hoax story claiming Trump called fallen World War I soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” Trump announced in the late morning Truth Social post that he would be meeting with Goldberg and two other Atlantic reporters for a meeting: Later today I will be meeting with, of all people, Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor of The Atlantic, and the person responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the made-up HOAX on “Suckers and Losers” and, SignalGate, something he was somewhat...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is continuing his push against President Donald Trump's tariffs, with legislation he is co-sponsoring against them to come before the Senate next week. Paul says lawmakers should be in control of tariffs, rather than Trump, through the use of a national-emergency law. The discussion will come less than a month after Paul was one of the only two chamber Republicans to vote against his party's budget, which is seen as a key part of the president's tax cuts, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. "I don't have any bad feelings towards the president, but this is...

It doesn’t take a genius to read between the lines of Disney’s latest political stunt. Disney’s latest Star Wars spin-off series Andor has made an less-than-subtle jab at the conservative right by featuring a scene of “Imperial Officer” trying to rape “undocumented migrant.” While the incident obviously takes place within the Star Wars universe, it is clearly intended to mirror President Trump’s policy of ending the flow of illegal immigration. The Hollywood Reporter details: Yet even by Andor standards, a scene from the second season is leaving fans shocked: An Imperial officer tries to violently rape a Rebel fugitive, Bix...
