 Newsmax: The Trump administration has frozen roughly $210 million in federal funds to Princeton University amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of antisemitism, according to an administration official who spoke with the Daily Caller. The official said the funding pause is not the final outcome of the investigation. "Princeton has perpetuated racist and anti-semitic policies," the official told the Caller, as reported by Reagan Reese on X. The U.S. Department of Education launched the investigation in April of 2024 following a January complaint filed by Zachary Marschall, editor-in-chief of the conservative website Campus Reform, the Daily Princetonian reported . Princeton joined several top universities, including Harvard and Yale , under investigation by the Department's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race or national origin at institutions receiving federal funding.

  Red State: ... California’s high gas prices are primarily a result of state policies, regulations, and taxes rather than price gouging, according to a study by Michael Mische of USC’s Marshall School of Business. After analyzing 50 years of gas prices, Mische found no widespread evidence of oil company greed but rather a regulatory environment that increases costs throughout the supply chain.  Mische  said : “The data is overwhelmingly compelling. There is no evidence of price gouging, either by gas station owners or refiners or oil producers in the state — at least widespread." “It is uniformly acknowledged that California has the most stringent regulatory … environment, for oil and gas companies in the world,” the study reads in part. “Regulatory oversight, irrespective of one’s (political) perspective, is layered into and accumulates throughout the supply chain, ultimately adding to the cost burdens of compliance for oil and gas industry operators, which, in turn, co...

 Matt Margolis: ... Questioning Assistant Attorney General nominee Brett Shumate, Kennedy systematically dismantled any justification for these sweeping judicial orders. "Mr. Shumate, what's a universal injunction?" Kennedy asked. Shumate explained, "Senator, a universal injunction is an order from a court enjoining the government in a way that goes beyond the parties to the case but applies nationwide or in some cases universally." Kennedy pressed further, asking, "What's the statutory basis for a federal judge issuing an order that affects people other than the parties before the court?" "I'm not aware of a statutory basis, Senator," Shumate admitted. "There is no statutory basis, is there?" Kennedy reiterated. "No, Senator," Shumate confirmed. Kennedy then challenged Shumate to name a Supreme Court ruling that interprets the Constitution to allow such injunctions. "Can you name me that case?" he asked....

  Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem · 21h Attacks on Tesla property are acts of domestic terrorism meant to inspire fear. @DHSgov will use every tool available to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The attacks on Tesla only began after Elon Musk endorsed Trump.  I suspect these attacks are from anti-Trump activists who are trying to punish Musk because of his Trump support.  The DOJ needs to find the attackers and prosecute them. They are a threat to free speech, among other things.

 DC Daily Journal: In a fiery move to back President Donald Trump’s tough-on-crime agenda, an Arizona congressman dropped a legislative bombshell on Monday aimed at kicking a federal judge off the bench. Rep. Andy Biggs, a steadfast Republican from the Grand Canyon State, introduced a resolution targeting U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who’s been a thorn in the Trump administration’s side by halting deportations of Venezuelan gang members. This isn’t your typical impeachment play—it’s a cunning new tactic that sidesteps the Senate’s pesky two-thirds vote hurdle. Biggs’ resolution accuses Boasberg of “failing to maintain the standard of good behavior required of judges” under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution. The congressman’s plan hinges on a lesser-known clause that he says gives Congress the muscle to boot judges who step out of line, no impeachment required. It’s a bold jab at a judiciary that Trump supporters see as increasingly hostile to the administration’s go...

 ISW: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) thwarted a Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian plan on April 1 to conduct a “major” attack targeting Israelis abroad.[1] The IDF killed Hassan Ali Mahmoud Badir, who was a member of Hezbollah Unit 3900 and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, in an airstrike in Beirut on April 1.[2] A Lebanese security source told Reuters that Badir was a mid-ranking commander whose responsibilities included the "Palestinian file."[3] Israeli media reported that Badir, in collaboration with Hamas, had planned an “imminent, large-scale attack abroad” that could have killed “hundreds of Israelis.”[4] It is not immediately clear what Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran sought to achieve by conducting such an attack. Hezbollah and Iran may have planned the attack to impose a heavy cost on Israel to try to increase pressure on the IDF to withdraw from the five remaining IDF positions in southern Lebanon.[5] It is also possible that hardline Hezbollah e...

 Trending Politics: The Trump administration has sidestepped a federal judge’s deportation ban — without technically breaking the law. Over the weekend, the United States quietly deported 17 violent gang members linked to MS-13 and Tren de Aragua to El Salvador, despite a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking similar removals under the Alien Enemies Act. The deportations didn’t rely on the Alien Enemies Act at all. Instead, senior White House officials confirmed they used Title 8 immigration authority — a standard legal tool for removing foreign nationals with final orders of removal. The legal sleight-of-hand effectively nullified the judge’s restrictions and allowed the operation to proceed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed the operation on X (formerly Twitter), saying Monday morning, “In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.” “These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities an...

  Wall Street Apes: @WallStreetApes · 7h Federal Judges are not supposed to be ordering universal injunctions. The DOJ has even been trying to stop this for years “How can a federal judge issue an order that affects everybody else other than those in front of him or her? How is that possible?” “It shouldn't be possible” “I thought that if you wanted to effect parties who aren't in court, you had to file a class action” “That's correct — The Department of Justice makes that argument all the time in our briefs. think in many cases, class actions would be inappropriate” “I read Article 3, which defines judicial power. Where does it mention universal injunction?” “It does not” “Federal judges, you render a decision to a plaintiff or a defendant, but you can't impact people outside of your courtroom other than through a class action.” All of this lawfare should have never been legal to begin with :34 334 4.9K 13K 226K The Supreme Court needs to stop this nonsense. ...
