Calls are mounting to temporarily shutter schools plagued by anti-Israel unrest as most colleges continue to pursue a hands-off approach to the encampments — even as the vitriol increasingly includes explicit threats of violence against Jews and others who don't support the metastasizing movement. "Columbia should shut down campus entirely, take all learning remote, but also padlock the campus and arrest all trespassers," said Brooke Goldstein, a human rights attorney and founder of the End Jew Hatred movement who serves as the executive director of The Lawfare Project. "So should other campus ..read more

A long-running sandstorm at the Jersey Shore could soon come to an end as New Jersey will carry out an emergency beach replenishment project at one of the state's most badly eroded beaches. North Wildwood and the state have been fighting in court for years over measures the town has taken on its own to try to hold off the encroaching seas while waiting — in vain — for the same sort of replenishment projects that virtually the entire rest of the Jersey Shore has received. It could still be another two years before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the New Jersey Department of Environmental P ..read more

New York can move ahead with a law requiring internet service providers to offer heavily discounted rates to low-income residents, a federal appeals court ruled Friday. The decision from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan reverses a lower court ruling from 2021 that blocked the policy just days before it went into effect. The law would force internet companies to give some low-income New Yorkers broadband service for as low as $15 a month, or face fines from the state.

Progressive anti-Israel agitators across the country, including those who mobilized at New York City’s Columbia University, are associated with groups tied to far-left groups with radical associations backed by dark money and liberal mega-donor George Soros. National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), a national organization affiliated with around 200 independent chapters, has had a vocal presence at Columbia University in recent days and at one point said it had walked away from talks with school leaders until administrators pledge not to have them arrested or forcefully removed from t ..read more

A Democrat representative who is now running for Senate in battleground state Michigan is facing scrutiny over a Limited Liability Company she started in 2017 just weeks prior to announcing her congressional bid. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., established the LLC, called Pinpoint Consulting, weeks before announcing in 2017 that she was running for Congress to unseat an incumbent Republican. According to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the business is "Not in Good Standing," as of 2020.  The last annual report for the business was filed in 2019.  TOP SENATE ..read more

The three House Republican rebels pushing to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., are silent on former President Trump's support for the embattled congressional leader. Roughly just six months after winning the speaker's gavel following three weeks of chaos over the ouster of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., Johnson is already under threat of losing the position after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., filed a resolution for a House-wide vote on his leadership, known as a motion to vacate the chair. Two more lawmakers, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., signed onto he ..read more

Florida Sen. Rick Scott announced the latest ad installment of a multimillion-dollar investment in Hispanic outreach, one that his campaign hopes will continue the demographic's swing toward the GOP and further solidify the state as deep red. "As parents, we teach values to our children, the difference between right and wrong, truth and lies. But then we send our kids to school where some radical sociali ..read more

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was interrupted by anti-Israel students during a speech she gave in the United Kingdom on Thursday. A protest group also called her a "warmonger." As Pelosi, former House speaker, was beginning her remarks to the Oxford Union at the University of Oxford, a student quietly stood up and walked to the front of the room. He then presented a Palestinian flag and turned to the audience, blocking their view of the 84-year-old California congresswoman. "Warmongers like Nancy Pelosi are not welcome on University campuses," Youth Demand, who took credit for the protest, wrot ..read more
