Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, in office for just over a year, announced Wednesday that she would resign her position amid continuing backlash over anti-Israel demonstrations on campus. Shafik had been a holdout who remained at the helm of a university after she and other school presidents appeared in a series of House hearings this spring on antisemitism on college campuses.  “I write with sadness to tell you that I am stepping down as president of Columbia University effective August 14, 2024,” Shafik wrote in her resignation letter. “I have…

One of the ways our Constitution provides for a “more perfect” union is by establishing a variety of checks and balances on federal government power. But a nation that can be “more perfect” can also become “less perfect,” and advocates for the elimination of those checks and balances are heating up the water in the proverbial pot.

The Supreme Court recently ruled to overturn the Chevron doctrine precedent that has stood since 1984. Recent precedent reversals, such as the overturning of Roe v.

In the 1984 Chevron ruling, an environmental group, the Natural Resources Defense Council, sued to overturn a decision by the Reagan-era Environmental Protection Agency to ease regulation of emissions. The court ruled to uphold the EPA decision, reasoning that, unless the point of dispute…

By the Way, Kamala Harris Is a Dangerous Authoritarian

Dangerous, Kamala, Harris, authoritarian0 comment

With some hard work, pluck, the right boyfriend, and a bit of genetic luck, Vice President Kamala Harris has found her way onto the presidential ballot without having to secure a single primary vote. Don’t tell me the American dream is dead. Sure, Harris is a demagogue who speaks in cringy, swirling, impenetrable platitudes. And sure, according to President Joe Biden, Harris was an identity hire. But “Morning Joe” says we’re not supposed to talk about any of that. So, let’s discuss her record and stated positions. It seems like…
