Dartmouth's Beilock Says Colleges Should Be Brave Spaces
Dartmouth President Sian Beilock argued that universities have deviated from their mission, endorsing political ideas and social-justice aims rather than focusing on educating students on how to disagree. 'I don't want to create safe spaces -- I want to create brave spaces,' she said during a panel discussion at the Milken Conference. Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, says antisemitism and hate have no place on any college campus or in society and ruin academic freedom. (Source: Bloomberg)

Westmoreland County attorney Robert Klingensmith dies days after bloody standoff with police
Robert Klingensmith, the Westmoreland County attorney who shot himself during a bloody standoff with police over the weekend, has died. Police said Klingensmith shot and wounded himself in his office before they tased him for ignoring repeated demands to stop moving while they served a search warrant. It was all caught on camera. According to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office, Klingensmith, 61, died on Wednesday afternoon from the self-inflicted injury. Klingensmith had been charged with theft and exploiting an older or care-dependent person. The district attorney's office said Klingensmith was the representative for a woman who died, and that Klingensmith failed to pay money from this woman's estate to her heirs. Instead, officials say he transferred more than $300,000 from the woman's account to his personal account.

Musk agrees with Massie that bill is 'debt bomb ticking' and 'missed opportunity' for conservatives
Elon Musk, who is vociferously decrying the Trump-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act that cleared the House of Representatives last month, agreed with Rep. Thomas Massie, who declared in a post on X that the measure "is a debt bomb ticking" and that it marks a major "missed opportunity" for conservatives. "The Big Beautiful Bill is a debt bomb ticking. It's also the biggest missed opportunity conservatives have ever had to put our country back on a track of fiscal sanity. If we defeat this bill, a better one can be offered that won't bankrupt our country," Massie declared in a post on X. "Absolutely," Musk wrote when retweeting Massie's comments. Massie, who was one of the two House Republicans who voted against the measure, made the comments when retweeting a post in which Musk had urged people to call their lawmakers about the proposal. "Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL," Musk declared in the post. In another tweet on Wednesday, Musk asserted, "No one who actually reads the bill should be able to stomach it." America's national debt is more than $36 trillion. Musk is sounding the alarm about the country's debt problem and profligate spending. "America is in the fast lane to debt slavery," he warned in a post on X. Massie, a serious fiscal hawk, draws attention to the nation's fiscal fecklessness by wearing a small debt clock.
