A Kentucky contribution raises questions about political strategy, donor accountability and the limits of temporary alliances.

Raines volleyball players have been reinstated. The lasting lesson should be clear expectations and a fair review process.

The facility named in the allegation denied treating him. Conservative media should demand evidence from its own side, too.

New York is joining the federal scholarship tax-credit program. More options for families deserve a fair test—and real accountability.

The Aslan casting debate raises a fair question about fidelity to C. S. Lewis—but a casting announcement is not a review of the finished film.

Oakland’s targeted support programs face a civil-rights complaint. Schools should preserve useful help while making access fair and transparent.

New campus rankings show improvement, but too many universities still fall short of their promise to encourage independent thought.

The dispute over Macklemore’s removal has drawn performers and venues into a political fight. The fans deserve consideration, too.

The athletes have a criticism. The actress has a choice. The company has a product to sell while everyone argues.

Federal investigators allege racial discrimination. Berkeley denies it. The question deserves evidence, not a contest over which institution commands more prestige.

Federal charges and a $14,308 civil settlement put school reporting safeguards under scrutiny. Parents deserve proof that warnings reach the people required to act.

Washington has not restored its former team name. It has done something more revealing: put the supposedly forbidden identity back on the shelf with a price tag attached.

The “Lake America” order is classic Trump: part provocation, part branding exercise and part test of whether his opponents can resist turning a symbolic gesture into a national emergency. They failed almost immediately.

Federal sentencing data shows women receive shorter prison terms and probation more often than men. Equal justice cannot survive a double standard everyone is afraid to name.

Shared parenting should be the starting point when two fit parents separate. Children are not prizes, and fathers should not enter family court as visitors in their own families.

Darializa Avila Chevalier is not disguising her politics behind focus-group language. The revealing question is why the Democratic establishment still treats socialism as a branding problem instead of an ideological choice.

The New Jersey crash produced a revealing response: instead of asking why a driver fled federal agents or whether sanctuary policies make cooperation harder, a Democratic congresswoman demanded that the enforcement agency disappear.

Timothy Ray Jones Jr. and Lindsay Clancy both presented serious mental-illness defenses after killing their children. Only one case inspired a national campaign to see the killer primarily as another victim.

A Senate candidate’s record is fair game. Treating ordinary scrutiny as prejudice is an attempt to make biography off-limits.

For years, Americans were told that suspicions about a permanent anti-Trump bureaucracy were paranoid fantasy. Then came the leaks, declassifications, internal contradictions, inspector-general findings, and documents that made the old dismissals look considerably less convincing.
