80. On March 27, 2025, Committee members Rep. Tim Walberg and Rep. Burgess Owens sent a letter to President Schill and Chairman Barris reminding Northwestern of the Committee’s continuing investigation into Northwestern’s “response to antisemitism on its campus.” The letter complained about Northwestern’s inadequate suppression of speech related to Palestine, including that the University “recently allowed the return to campus of journalism professor Steven Thrasher . . .” despite his role at the encampment.

Two Posts from me: “Not sure how Platner planned to keep his tattoo hidden from the other candidates. They would have seen it eventually in the locker room before the debates” And “The Platner thing shows the importance of one of my most strongly-held beliefs: political debates should be conducted in the nude”
The 10,500 generators attached to data centers in Virginia produce enough pollution to harm public health even if used rarely, according to a new analysis of emissions permits for The Washington Post. Operating them for less than an hour per week, on average, creates the same public health impact as five power plants the size of the large Possum Point gas-fired power station near Quantico, according to the analysis by Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Washington. That’s enough to worsen lung and cardiovascular conditions for people in the region and cause at least three premature deaths each year, the analysis found, based on state air permits and reported emissions from the data center owners.

“Gasoline prices have reached crisis levels for Mainers, many of whom commute long distances,” Platner said in his plan, which would indefinitely halt taxes on both gasoline and diesel. "Relying on fossil fuels to fund basic infrastructure does not make sense if we want to reduce fossil fuels used in transportation,” Platner said.

"My father lost his herd. There was no milk check. And along came the superintendent of the works building the new high school, so [my father] became a laborer," Edgerton said. "He worked a week and they suddenly found out that farmers really get the job done. So [the superintendent] made him the staging crew leader for the rest of the project. "So he helped build that school that he voted against."
Freedom of Speech depicts a scene of a 1942 Arlington town meeting in which Jim Edgerton, the lone dissenter to the town selectmen's announced plans to build a new school, as the old one had burned down,[9] was accorded the floor as a matter of protocol.[10] Edgerton supported the rebuilding process but was concerned about the tax burden of the proposal, as his family farm had been ravaged by disease.[11] A memory of this scene struck Rockwell as an excellent fit for illustrating "freedom of speech", and inspired him to use his Vermont neighbors as models for the entire Four Freedoms series.[12][13]

Esther Salas In 2020, a man disguised as a FedEx delivery driver gained entry to the North Brunswick, New Jersey home of Judge Esther Salas of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and murdered the judge's son, also critically injuring the judge's husband. 16) The suspect was 72-year-old Roy Den Hollander, a self-proclaimed "anti-feminist" lawyer who had appeared before Salas and was dissatisfied with the disposition of his case. Hollander was discovered dead the next day of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. (17) The FBI matched Hollander's gun to the murder of a rival lawyer who represented a men's rights group in California, and police found a list of other potential targets, including three more female judges. 16)

SPRINGFIELD — Months before Lake County Treasurer Holly Kim announced her bid for Illinois comptroller, she used about $8,300 in previously contributed campaign funds to invest in a cryptocurrency she founded called CHKN token — a digital asset inspired by her backyard flock of chickens. By the end of 2025, the investment — totaling roughly 8.87 million tokens — had lost nearly all its value, dropping to just $34.59, according to filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections.

Screenshot of text: 6. Do you denounce the January 6 insurrection? Response: The wording of this question and the answer it seeks from me would require me to issue a statement of an inherently political nature. This would be inappropriate for me to do, as a judicial nominee. This is according to the prohibition of political activity in Judicial Canon 5.

Munoz put the vehicle in drive and accelerated onto the curb, the charges said. Ross was dragged alongside the vehicle and twice fired his Taser as Munoz weaved back and forth “in an apparent attempt to shake” him from the car. About 300 feet down the road, Munoz re-entered the street and the force knocked the officer from the car.
