Harvard Law Review Digs Itself Into Deeper Hole Amid Fight With Feds. Plus, Who’s Behind the New Columbia Encampment Doc?– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

From bad to worse: The Harvard Law Review is facing multiple federal probes over reports, published in the Free Beacon, of racial discrimination at the journal. Its conduct in the face of those probes has only added to the furor.

The Review, our Aaron Sibarium reports, “retaliated against a student editor for allegedly leaking documents … and demanded, as part of the journal’s disciplinary process, that he request their destruction.” Those actions came as the journal “was under a document retention order” from the feds. As a result, they “verged on witness intimidation and could get the law review in even deeper trouble with the government,” attorneys told Sibarium.

“What do they call it when a criminal tries to intimidate the witness?” said Jason Torchinsky, a former official in the Justice Department’s civil rights division. “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense.”

Band-aid over a bullet hole: Racial discrimination isn’t the only problem plaguing Harvard. There’s also the issue of pervasive anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on its campus—something the school pledged to combat in part by hiring a Professor in Residence in Modern Jewish Studies at its Divinity School. That professor, Harvard announced on Wednesday, is self-proclaimed “counter-Zionist” Shaul Magid.

For Magid, Zionism is “unjust” and can be “set aside” along with “Manifest Destiny, colonialism, and any number of other chauvinistic and ethnocentric ideologies of the past.”

Magid’s appointment did not land well with Rabbi David Wolpe, who spent a year as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Divinity School. Magid’s views are “very fringe” and don’t “represent anything like the mainstream view of the American Jewish community,” Wolpe told us. “He is not an answer to the problem that Harvard has with their Jewish students or with the exclusion of mainstream views.”

Beijing has also launched an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola that is set to conclude in September.

Canola, also known as rapeseed, was one of Canada’s top exports to China, the world’s number 1 agricultural importer, prior to Beijing’s investigation.

“The two governments should listen to and respond to the people’s calls and do more to deepen the friendly cooperation and enhance mutual understanding and trust,” Li told Carney.

China is Canada’s second-largest trading partner, trailing far behind the US. Canada exported US$47 billion worth of goods to the world’s second-largest economy in 2024, according to Chinese customs data.

Beijing is also willing to work with Canada to safeguard multilateralism and free trade, Li added.

Beijing’s olive branch to Ottawa also comes ahead of a Group of Seven summit of leaders in Canada in mid-June.

Big Oil Wins in Trump-GOP Megabill– readsludge.com

Excerpt:

After pouring millions into GOP super PACs, the fossil fuel industry is cashing in with the One Big Beautiful Bill, a sweeping budget reconciliation package loaded with giveaways for oil and gas companies. The House and Senate versions of the bill are nearly identical on energy matters, delivering a wish list of tax breaks, drilling incentives, and regulatory rollbacks. Now, the American Petroleum Institute (API), representing hundreds of oil and gas companies, is lobbying the Senate to add even more industry-friendly perks.

The energy portion of the House-passed bill and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s bills both prioritize the fossil fuel industry’s profits over the environment. Both would delay the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) fee on oil and gas companies’ excess methane pollution by 10 years, shielding companies from accountability for a potent greenhouse gas that is responsible for up to 30% of global warming. They would both create an opt-in fee program allowing companies to pay to expedite the environmental review process for approving new fossil fuel infrastructure like pipelines, and limiting communities’ abilities to weigh in against polluting projects. They mandate the Interior Department to immediately begin quarterly lease sales for onshore and offshore drilling. The bills also roll back the EPA’s new vehicle emissions standards, undoing the Biden administration’s rules designed to boost electric vehicle adoption and curb transportation emissions, the largest U.S. greenhouse gas source.

The House bill contains a few industry bonuses that don’t appear in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee draft, but may still emerge as the full Senate bill is cobbled together from all the different committees. The House bill calls for lowering royalty rates for drilling on public lands from 16.67% to 12.5%, letting oil companies profit off the public’s resources at a discount while reducing taxpayer returns. It would also create a new “de-risking compensation program” that allows oil companies to get paid by taxpayers if the federal government takes any actions delaying their projects or making them less viable.

Most Russians no longer consider the United States their country’s main enemy, according to a Levada Center survey released Thursday, as Donald Trump’s return to the White House fuels hopes of a diplomatic thaw between Moscow and Washington.

The share of respondents who named the U.S. as the most hostile country toward Russia has nearly halved to 40% this year, down from 76% in 2024.

“The U.S. dropped from first to fourth on this list for the first time in 20 years of measurements,” the independent pollster said.

Germany (55%), the United Kingdom (49%) and Ukraine (43%) now rank as the top three most hostile countries in the eyes of Russian respondents.

The shift in perception follows Trump’s inauguration in January after a campaign pledge to swiftly end the war in Ukraine. In March, Russian favorability toward the U.S. doubled, Levada said.

Russian state media has in recent months portrayed Trump as a pragmatic leader open to dialogue with Moscow. At the same time, Russian attitudes toward the U.S. have historically fluctuated in response to global events.

The SpaceX CEO said he would decommission the only US spacecraft certified to fly American astronauts, before changing his mind hours later

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has claimed that his company “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately,” after President Donald Trump threatened to terminate all US government subsidies and contracts with Musk’s firms.

Trump and Musk engaged in a dramatic exchange on social media on Thursday over the US president’s “Big and Beautiful” federal tax and spending bill, which the former White House government efficiency czar had blasted as a “pork-filled, disgusting abomination” that would push the US into “debt slavery.”

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump stated on Truth Social, arguing that the only reason the Tesla CEO “went CRAZY” about the legislation was because it would cut tax credits for purchasers of his electric vehicles.

“In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately,” Musk responded in a post on X just minutes later.

As Keir Starmer approaches his first anniversary in Downing Street, there will be several things he wishes he had done differently. But before he can contemplate that July milestone, he faces a busy month strewn with political bear traps.

June has proven a difficult time for successive prime ministers: Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak all had to contend with deeply unhappy parliamentary parties reeling from heavy local and European election losses.

While the mood among Labour MPs is nowhere near as mutinous, they too are bruised from a difficult set of local election results in England in May and the surge of Reform UK. “There is more than the usual amount of grumbling and discontent,” a government source said.

One unexpected ray of light was the result of the Holyrood byelection in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on Friday. Labour secured a surprise victory, knocking the Scottish National party into second place and restoring some hope in Labour’s fortunes ahead of next year’s Holyrood elections. One MP said the result was “humiliating” for the SNP.

It is certainly a welcome win for Downing Street as Labour MPs brace for more bad news and a series of contentious debates this month. “They know that the spending review is going to be really hard,” a government source said.

Ottawa is reviewing its defence spending plans “from top to bottom,” Defence Minister David McGuinty said Thursday, as Canada comes under pressure from allies to ramp up spending to levels not seen since the height of the Cold War.

McGuinty said the federal government will have more to say “very soon” about its alliance spending commitments and will be “making announcements in this regard.”

“Canada is revisiting all of its expenditures presently, from top to bottom,” he told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

“Just recently, our prime minister announced a $6 billion new effort to secure our Arctic, Canada’s Arctic. So we’re working very hard now with colleagues to implement a series of changes. We’ll have much more to say about that financially in very short order.”

McGuinty is in Belgium taking part in the NATO defence ministers’ meeting, the last major NATO meeting ahead of the leaders’ summit later this month — where members are expected to agree to increase their defence spending targets.

Full restoration of the North Korean navy destroyer is expected before a major communist party meeting later this month.

North Korea has raised a capsized warship and moored it at a port in the country’s northeast for repair, after the vessel was damaged during a failed inaugural launch in May, the country’s state news media reports.

KCNA reported that “after restoring the balance of the destroyer early in June, the team moored it at the pier” in the city of Chongjin on Thursday.

The report on Friday aligns with South Korea’s military assessments and recent commercial satellite images, which indicated that the 5,000-tonne destroyer has been restored to an upright position following the “serious accident” on May 21, when it suffered damage to its hull after a transport cradle detached prematurely during a launch ceremony.

The failed side-launch of the ship, which was witnessed by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, also left the vessel partially capsized in a port.

Kim described the incident as a “criminal act caused by absolute carelessness”. As part of a probe into the accident, four officials were arrested and accused of tarnishing North Korea’s national dignity, according to KCNA.

Over the weekend, Volodymyr Zelensky hailed Ukraine’s daring drone blitz on Russian airbases as one for the “history books”.

It marked Kyiv’s longest range operation of the conflict so far with at least 40 aircraft being attacked as part of the expert operation codenamed “Spiderweb”.

In an embarrassing result for a raging Vladimir Putin 34 per cent of his cruise missile carriers at the targeted airfields were blasted, Zelensky said.

A £260million AWACS aircraft and bombers capable of dropping nuclear weapons were also struck.

Ukraine said the sneak attack was worth $7bn (£5.2bn) in damage to Russia.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump and adviser Elon Musk celebrated their efforts to slash federal spending before Musk stepped away from his White House work. Musk wore a black DOGE hat over a bruised right eye that he blamed on his young son’s punch. That was May 30 in the Oval Office. Days later, the two billionaires were punching at each other on social media platforms they own.

Their fight began over federal tax and spending legislation, with Musk calling a Trump-backed bill “a disgusting abomination” and Trump saying he was “very disappointed” with Musk. Soon, Musk claimed credit for Trump and Republicans winning in 2024 and Trump threatened to cut off Musk companies’ federal contracts.

The public display of animosity called into question the fate of months of Department of Government Efficiency work. 

Under Musk’s oversight and with Trump’s approval, DOGE axed billions of dollars in grants for state health departments and scientific research. It gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to protect consumers. It all but shuttered the U.S. Agency for International Development, the decades-old department that provides food and health care to people in other countries.

Still, as Musk ended his work with DOGE, it was clear that the group’s cost cutting achievements fell short of Musk’s goals. A week before Trump won his second term, Musk said he expected to cut “at least $2 trillion,” without identifying a timeframe for doing it. He later lowered that to $1 trillion.

But Musk doesn’t seem interested in sparing any part of the GOP trifecta from his wrath on his way out of Washington. The president’s new enemy attacked both Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Thursday over the cost of the party’s sweeping domestic policy package. Thune brushed it aside.

Johnson, however, is mounting a multi-front rebuttal as he aims to keep Musk from hurting the megabill’s prospects. He’s questioning the tech mogul’s motives for opposing the bill and challenging his claims about its impact on the deficit. Johnson already had to reassure hard-liners concerned about the bill’s spending in order to squeeze the bill through the House last month.

“I’m the same guy that’s always been a deficit hawk, and now I’m the speaker of the House, and I’m working on a multi-step plan to reverse the fiscal insanity that has haunted our country,” Johnson told reporters Thursday. “We have to get the big, beautiful bill done.”

Elon Musk just launched a war against the GOP. Now the party’s hopes of holding onto power are at stake.

Musk has gone from helping Republicans take total control of Washington — spending nearly $300 million to become the single biggest known donor last year — to attacking the highest-ranking leaders of the party and daring the rank and file to cross him.

“Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years,” Musk said on X.

The post was an unambiguous warning from the world’s richest man, who has the power to single-handedly reshape elections with his wealth. It was not long ago that Republicans hoped Musk could pour cash into their efforts to help maintain control of Washington. Instead, he’s becoming their public adversary.

Musk spent Thursday online attacking President Donald Trump over Republicans’ massive tax-and-spending bill, which Musk says does not cut enough government spending.

He’d already threatened to challenge Republicans who support the megabill; on Thursday, he blasted House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, took credit for Republicans winning trifecta control in November, and floated the idea of launching a third party.

“This is a massive crack in the MAGA coalition,” said Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and a former Trump administration appointee. “This town is historically built on Republican versus Democrat, and this seems to be crazy versus crazy. It is asymmetric and it seems, for the first time, President Trump seems to be out-crazied.”

Today, while speaking with two of his co-hosts, former US Congressman Dave Brat and social media personality Jack Posbiec, Steve Bannon appeared to have had enough of the very public feud between Elon Musk and President Trump and mercilessly unloaded on Musk.

“Elon Musk is working for himself,” Bannon told his co-hosts. The outspoken War Room icon explained, “President Trump empowered him more than anyone’s ever been empowered in this government! He [President Trump] had his back. Promoted this guy. And when people like me, who said, ‘You’re making a mistake! This is a bad guy! He’s gonna turn on you! He’s not with us.

But according to Bannon, Musk didn’t just turn on President Trump, “He [Musk] turned on the country—on the American people—and President Trump has had enough of it!”

Bannon, arguably one of the most important figures in the conservative culture, wasn’t finished sharing his disdain for Musk’s childish behavior because Trump’s “One Big Beautiful” bill wasn’t written the way Musk thought it should be written. He began to attack Trump on social media.

Harvard Divinity School (HDS) appointed Shaul Magid, a leftist Jewish philosopher who describes himself as a “counter-Zionist,” to a new position the university says it created as a way to combat “anti-Israeli bias.”

Magid, who has described the Jewish state as “illiberal” and “chauvinist,” will be the university’s inaugural Professor of Modern Jewish Studies in Residence. Harvard says the new position is part of its effort to stem the tide of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel ideology in its classrooms after its anti-Semitism task force found that “politicized instruction” in four of its schools “mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism.”

The report’s authors said Jewish students were unable to “engage fully in academic and co-curricular life at Harvard” due to attacks from anti-Israel peers. They also warned about the “ease with which ‘anti-Zionism’ slips into what is effectively antisemitism,” citing an anti-Semitic cartoon students and faculty shared on social media.

The “politicized instruction” at the Divinity School, the report noted, includes subjecting Jewish students to “the embrace of a pedagogy of ‘de-zionization’” in which professors “attribute to Jews two great sins: first, in the Levant, the establishment of the State of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba; and second, in the United States, participation in White supremacy.”

It would fulfill a number of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, such as funding border security and extending his first-term 2017 tax cuts.

Excerpt:

What started as a disagreement over electric vehicle subsidies has now erupted into a full-blown war of words between two of the most powerful men in America. In a dramatic and unfiltered post on X Thursday afternoon, Elon Musk accused President Donald Trump of being named in the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files — a stunning claim that sent social media into a frenzy.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk posted to his 200+ million followers. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

Musk offered no evidence in his post but doubled down minutes later. “Mark this post for the future,” he wrote. “The truth will come out.”

The post marks the lowest point yet in what has become a bitter and public unraveling of the once-close relationship between the SpaceX and Tesla CEO and the 47th president.
