USA Today Blacklists The Federalist For The Crime Of Getting The Trump-Russia Story Right (The Federalist)
When news broke on Friday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had submitted his report on the Russia-collusion investigation to Attorney General William Barr, and that no further charges would be forthcoming, I penned an op-ed and submitted it to USA Today, which had published my work several times, including as recently as last November.
USA Today first solicited an op-ed from me on my analysis of Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony in October 2018. While I typically write for conservative-leaning publications, I purposefully seek out mainstream outlets on occasion, hoping to bring some balance to the news diets of media organizations, which tend to lean left.

For more than two years, the campaign, presidential transition, and official government administration of Donald Trump operated under a cloud of suspicion that they had engaged in a treasonous conspiracy to steal the 2016 election from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Trump and his top associates were accused of collusion and of conspiring with the Russians to subvert American democracy.
The former director of the Central Intelligence Agency publicly declared Trump to be guilty of treason, an offense punishable by death. The former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the country’s premier law enforcement agency, intimated that the president had illegally obstructed justice. [Read More]
Rudy Giuliani on collusion accusations: “Somebody made this up” (CBS News)
Rudy Giuliani, one of President Trump’s personal lawyers, is accusing the president’s political opponents of fabricating allegations against Mr. Trump of collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.”So someone made this up. Now we’re talking about really serious crimes,” Giuliani told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett. “Now we’re talking about doing great damage to the republic, not just to the president,” Giuliani said about the allegations, which prompted a nearly two-year probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

All nine Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have signed a letter calling for its chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, to step down, citing his claims that there was evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 race.
Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, introduced the scathing letter during a public committee hearing Thursday and then read it aloud. [Read More]
Attending Ariana Grande’s ‘Sweetener’ tour? Someone may ask if you’re registered to vote. (NBC News)
Ariana Grande’s 29-state “Sweetener” tour will offer a voter registration initiative at every stop, making her the latest superstar to try and motivate concertgoers to the ballot box.
The pop singer debuted #thankunextgen, a play on her hit song “thank u, next,” during her March 18 show in Albany, New York, in partnership with a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works with musicians to help register voters at concerts. She also promoted the campaign on Instagram, where she is the most followed woman with 148 million followers. [Read More]
Teen boys rated their female classmates based on looks. The girls fought back. (The Washington Post)
Yasmin Behbehani had just walked into her third-period health class when her friend asked her if she had seen the list.
“There’s a list of the girls’ names,” her friend Nicky Schmidt, a fellow senior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland, said. “And we’re ranked.”
Behbehani didn’t want to see the list, or know whether she was on it. She had spent the past four years recovering from an eating disorder, working hard to avoid comparing herself with others, she said. But by her sixth-period class on that Monday earlier this month, a text message appeared on her phone with a screenshot of the list, typed out on the iPhone Notes app. [Read More]
