Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, R-Ind., launched an investigation into the University of Notre Dame on Thursday, citing potential civil rights violations stemming from its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) regime.
Citing publicly available documentation, as well as the school’s 2023 Strategic Framework, Rokita sent a letter to Rev. Robert A. Dowd, Notre Dame’s president, suggesting the school might be violating state and federal civil rights laws because it “may be governed by University policies that treat individuals — including students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and job applicants — differently based on the individuals’ race or ethnicity; employ race in a negative manner; or utilize racial stereotyping,” according to the letter.

Axios obtained the audio of former President Biden’s October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. In the first segment below, recorded on the first day of interviews, former President Biden was questioned about where he kept documents. (snip)
As the tapes reveal, Joe Biden was not in any capacity to be in office. The question remains, who was running the country? Listen: The State Dept was being run by Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Samantha Power. The Clinton and Obama networks, along with their allies in congress and in various political organizations, were being paid and financed through various NGOs and stood up non-profits

The Supreme Court attempted to split the baby between executive “national security” power and the dynamic use of the “Alien Enemies Act” today with a ruling that temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deporting criminal alien gang members under the UEA until the criminals are afforded some undefined amount of time to appeal their repatriation status. Essentially, this is a stall and punt routine. [READ RULING HERE] (snip)Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a separate opinion concurring in the decision. But Kavanaugh wrote that he’d prefer to have the Supreme Court dig into the legality of Trump’s Alien Enemies Act invocation right away, without waiting

The Supreme Court on May 16 agreed to block the government from deporting some alleged Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
“The application for an injunction pending further proceedings is granted,” the court said in an unsigned order.
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.The court also acknowledged it may have to schedule an oral argument in the case known as A.A.R.P. and W.M.M. v. Trump at some point in the future after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit revisits the case. A.A.R.P. and W.M.M. are the initials of two of the

The agenda behind Zelenskyy and his handlers is very clear, the EU need to keep distance between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin; so, they keep playing the narrative game around the pretense of a ‘ceasefire.’
Using his Twitter account today, the vertically challenged EU members led by Volodymyr Zelenskyy note, “if the Russians reject a full and unconditional ceasefire and an end to killings, tough sanctions must follow. Pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war.”The picture Zelenskyy presents of Donald Tusk (Poland), Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (UK) and Friedrich Merz (Germany), represents his “coalition of the willing.”

An American basketball player for the Indonesian league was arrested after allegedly attempting to smuggle illegal drugs to the country, Indonesian authorities said Thursday.
The Southeast Asian country has extremely strict drug laws, and convicted smugglers are sometimes executed by firing squad.
(snip)The arrest followed a tip from the airport's customs that reported Shaw had received a suspicious airway package from Thailand, Sipayung said. Cannabis has been decriminalized in Thailand since November 2024. Under Indonesia's anti-drug laws, Shaw faces up to life sentence or death penalty if found guilty, Sipayung said.

A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump.(snip)
The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to classified material.
The same Left that spent years crying about “stochastic terrorism” is silent now.

In the decade since Donald Trump first descended the escalator, a peculiar new kind of “journalism” has evolved in Washington, one that has manifested again and again. Call it the Trump Deputy Takedown Op.(snip)And so it is now with Donald Trump’s upstart chief diplomat, Steve Witkoff. Almost overnight and out of nowhere, Witkoff has become a star of the second Trump administration, the man who broke Foggy Bottom’s stranglehold on American diplomacy and showed that radical new approaches could be attempted and, more importantly, get results.

Ed Martin was on his way to doing what so many before him promised but never dared: cleaning up DC. President Trump picked Martin to serve as US Attorney, and everyone knew what that meant: real accountability, no games, and no mercy for the swamp.But as always, the knives came out, not from the Dems, but from inside the Republican Party.(snip) Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina led the charge to sink Martin’s nomination. And according to Trump, Tillis was working behind the scenes with Democrats to make it happen.
Why would he do that? Because Ed Martin is fearless. He’s America First to the core. And that terrifies the uniparty.

In March, congressional Republicans formally called for the impeachment of Rhode Island Federal Judge John McConnell Jr. This week, America First Legal (AFL) filed a judicial complaint against him, asking Chief Judge David Barron of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to investigate McConnell.
The AFL complaint describes “apparent conflicts of interest and violations of judicial ethics requirements.” The Federalist has previously detailed some of those concerns.(snip)McConnell didn’t mention that he is a long-time board member and leader at the $31 million nonprofit Crossroads Rhode Island, which gets over half its funding from federal money,

Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is pulling no punches in her view of the direct threat against President Donald Trump that has been made and promoted by former FBI Director James Comey.
Speaking to Fox News, Director Gabbard outlines that there is “no way” James Comey did not know what his threat post was about. Gabbard notes the “86 47” phrase has been circulating the far-left for several months and Mr Comey is well aware what it means. Director Gabbard says in her view the former FBI director should be arrested and put behind bars. WATCH:
