Conservative and free speech advocacy groups are warily eyeing a new bipartisan push in Congress to hire antisemitism monitors for colleges and universities that receive federal dollars.

"These antisemitism monitors are not novel. For the last 10 or so years, college bureaucrats have created bias reporting systems, which have been used to cancel students accused of ‘wrongthink.' Not only are these systems unconstitutional, but they unnecessarily chill speech and punish innocent students. Combating antisemitism is important, but speech monitors are...

They declined to answer questions after emerging from a closed-door meeting, but the proposal was...

Abbott, in a letter sent to the White House on Monday, rebuked the Biden administration's expansion of Title IX protections to protect "gender identity."

A federal judge laced into an ex-National Security Agency worker who admitted to attempting to sell classified secrets to Russia, sentencing the "treasonous" former U.S. intelligence employee to 21 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore said he could have put Jareh Sebastian Dalke, 32, behind bars for even longer, calling the 262-month sentence "mercy" for what he saw as a calculated action to take the job at the NSA in order to be able to sell national security secrets. The nearly 22-year sentence was the same as what prosecutors...

The first week of testimony at Donald Trump's hush money trial was the scene-setter for jurors: Manhattan prosecutors portrayed what they say was an illegal scheme to influence the 2016 presidential campaign by burying negative stories.
