Harvard University says it has started receiving notices that many federal grants halted by the Trump administration will be reinstated after a federal judge ruled that the cuts were illegal. It’s an early signal that federal research funding could begin flowing to Harvard after months of deadlock with the White House, but it’s yet to be seen if money will arrive. The government has said it will appeal the judge’s decision. Reinstatement notices have started arriving from several federal agencies, but so far no payments have been received, Harvard spokesperson Jason Newton said late Wednesday. “Harvard is monitoring funding receipts...

Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder. It is possible that, in the history of America’s radicalization spiral, the horrifying, cold-blooded assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be recorded as only the second-most-dangerous event of September 10, 2025. If so, the more significant development will instead have been the speech that evening by President Donald Trump. If you did not listen to Trump’s remarks, which have received only light attention from the media, you might have missed the chilling message they contained. Trump...

There was a clip doing the rounds a few months ago from Charlie Kirk’s clash with students at the Cambridge Union.

Forget commemorating the thousands of lives lost on 9/11. The Economist is instead pushing readers to float the idea of socialism firmly being established as the left’s bulwark against Trumpism in New York. Talk about completely butchering your priorities. In a crazy September 11 piece, the British magazine sought to downplay communist Democratic New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s affiliation with the radical Democratic Socialists of America party. In “Who’s afraid of the Democratic Socialists,” the outlet was giddy over the fact that they could “prove to be the left’s populist alternative to Trumpism.” For Mamdani, The Economist tried...
