A media witch hunt, partly led by the BBC, has succeeded in getting Nathan Cofnas suspended. He was the whistleblower who exposed Cambridge and Jason Arday when no journalist was brave enough to do so.

This is an attack on academic freedom and freedom of speech by some of the press.

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

All these coverings are evil and all about control. Also fairly new in our world…and this burqa bullshit is the worst one of them all. Dehumanizing and that’s the least of it…

@jpodhoretz Help, where is the podcast this morning? Desperate subscriber

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

I'm sorry but why aren't John Thune and all the other GOP Senators standing on the Capitol steps like RIGHT THIS SECOND screaming about the TSA lines and making political hay out of the increasingly deranged Democratic commitment to keep DHS closed?

A child has been sentenced to execution by hanging in Occupied Iran.

Diana Taherabadi is only 16.

The Islamic Regime dragged her out bed, confiscated her family's phones, and kidnapped her.

It takes a second for you to speak up. DO IT.

[Afshine Emrani MD FACC @afshineemrani]

Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them.
​While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen.
​"How can I stay silent?" she asked.
​We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline.
​ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go.

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

The Democrats’ decision to shut down the Department of Homeland Security has caused chaos at our airports, delayed assistance to communities affected by disasters, and forced thousands of frontline employees to work without any guarantee of when they will be paid. The United States is less safe because the Democrats chose to walk away from the bipartisan DHS funding bill and have blocked repeated Republican efforts to pass a short-term funding patch to prevent disruptions while negotiations continue.

The White House made a good-faith offer last month that builds on the reforms included in the bipartisan funding bill negotiated earlier this year, with new safeguards to protect both the American public and law enforcement and increased oversight. Democrats waited 18 days to respond. In that time, we saw violent attacks at Old Dominion University and the Temple Israel Synagogue in Michigan and a massive cyber attack on the Stryker Corporation. It is time for Democrats to get serious and work with us in earnest to govern responsibly.

@PressSec Praying to God that this is true. My dear friend's college age son is stuck in Abu Dhabi with no way to evacuate.

[Margaret Yates @YatesMC]

@ASDylanJohnson @alexbruesewitz Not disputing that but how does my friend's college age son get home from Abu Dhabi? They have followed all the state department protocols but no help for him to evacuate

[Jan Marie 💙 @i_am_jan_marie]

@TravelGov Great. How do we get our when all flights have been cancelled for days?

[Gianna Fornesi @GiaFornesi]

@TravelGov Why won’t the US government provide evacuation flights for us? We are stranded! I’d love to know when that option would kick in.

[Isabella Leslie @bellaleslie__]

@TravelGov How are we supposed to leave when there are no flight options?

[Margaret Yates @YatesMC]

@StevenCheung47 @MarkHalperin My friend's college aged son is stuck in Abu Dhabi. State department is not helping him. He has done all the protocols

[Margaret Yates @YatesMC]

@SenTomCotton Suggestions for getting an American college student out of Abu Dhabi? State department is not helping

[Margaret Yates @YatesMC]
