[ad_1] Jewish Insider: Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, urged pro-Israel college students to distinguish between protected speech and actionable discriminatory conduct — “people literally interfering with your ability to get an education” — when facing antisemitism on campus. “[With] a lot of young people these days, there’s kind of a snowflake culture with ‘I feel unsafe.’ I feel unsafe everyday when I go to work and get a mean email from a colleague. Life is full of challenges,” Dhillon said on Tuesday at the conclusion of the Israel on Campus Coalition’s National Leadership Summit in Washington.…

[ad_1] In an interview with conservative political commentator and best-selling author Michael Knowles released at the end of June, Vice President JD Vance repudiated the free-market elements of the pre-MAGA Republican agenda. He bemoaned the influence of many names associated with free-market ideology, including economist Milton Friedman, philosopher Ayn Rand, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. “I do think that, for our friends who are on the more laissez faire side of the American right, in hindsight, part of why Milton Friedman’s ideas made more sense in the 1980s is because they were being advocated in a country that still…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair When a gunman opens fire in a crowded venue or a vehicle plows into pedestrians in Berlin, New York or London, the linguistic reflex of Western corporate media is swift and predictable.  If the perpetrator bears an Arabic/Muslim name or background, the media seizes upon terms like “Islamic terrorism,” “radical extremist,” or “jihadist plot.” Faith is immediately elevated as the primary interpretation for the unlawful act. Yet, when similar acts of mass violence, domestic bloodshed or ideologically-motivated murder are committed by individuals identifying as Christian, Jewish or other major Western traditions, the nomenclature shifts…

[ad_1] From Third Circuit Judge Emil Bove’s dissent last week from the one-line denial of mandamus in In re Mylan, Inc. (the majority consisted of Judge Brooks Smith, joined by Judge Matthew Schwartz):The Attorney who survived Defendants’ disqualification motion is representing private parties in the very same litigation he led on behalf of Connecticut for more than a decade. This direct monetization of prior government service is beyond the pale. It is also a violation of Rule 1.11(c) of Pennsylvania’s Rules of Professional Conduct. The Rule violation undermines the integrity of the proceedings, including an upcoming complex bellwether trial that…

[ad_1] In a letter to the drugmaker, the FDA said the agency approved Beyfortus, an RSV monoclonal antibody, as a defense against RSV lower respiratory tract disease — but that Sanofi has been claiming it protects broadly against RSV disease, which occurs in the lower and upper tracts. Beyfortus has come under scrutiny following reports of at least two infant deaths during clinical trials for the drug. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is accusing Sanofi of making false or misleading promotional claims about Beyfortus, a preventative treatment for RSV, Fierce Pharma reported. In a letter to the drugmaker, the FDA said it…

[ad_1] By Dalia Abu Ramadan This article was originally published by Truthout Being forced to repeatedly search for a place that feels safe when no such place exists is a form of slow death. As a daughter of Gaza City — a place that has endured every possible attempt to destroy the very meaning of life — I had lost every sense of safety and security until the announcement of a ceasefire in October 2025.  At that time, hearing about the ceasefire felt like hearing that a terminally ill patient had finally been cured. At last, we believed we…

[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair In the month celebrating 250 years of red, white and blue, Americans were seeing plenty of red — and not just as part of commemorative trifectas or midterm forecast maps. Red-baiters based in red states (or the financial districts of blue ones) have a wave of actual reds in power to push against.  Once, the best opposition they could hope for were such fellow travelers as Reds director Warren Beatty, who as biographer Peter Biskind notes “was no Communist but empathized with the idealism of the American left” (and whose production “reflects his ambivalence”).…
