“The perpetrators were far-right activists and racist media organisations. They were seeking to push back against social gains made by anti-racists. Arday may have plagiarised, but no more than many a white professor..... why the media engaged in a pile-on, instead of investigating the far-right activists who were creating a lynch-mob atmosphere.”

creating a roughly $1 trillion gap that could be filled by private credit, Apollo’s chief economist said Friday.
Torsten Slok, Apollo’s chief economist, wrote Friday that AI-related borrowing accounts for more than 40% of new long-term, investment-grade corporate debt,
and that Apollo estimates the

The court’s decision to block the Trump administration from including a “loyalty question” on federal job applications
was a win not only for the nonpartisan civil service,
but also for the communities public employees serve, said one labor leader whose union was among the plaintiffs in the case against the Office of Personnel Management.
Patrick Moran, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, said Friday that

I'll keep it balanced, as I bounce between loving and hating it.

Coalition Files Emergency Petition to Stop Trump FCC’s Media Consolidation Spree
A coalition of nonprofit groups and labor unions filed an emergency petition on Friday
aimed at blocking the Federal Communications Commission’s recent repeal of a decades-old rule

underscoring the affordability challenges that are top of mind for many voters with midterm elections now just seven weeks away.
The consumer price index rose 3.4% last month compared with a year ago,
the Labor Department said Friday,
the same as in July.
But on a monthly basis, inflation quickened,
as costs jumped 0.4% from July to August…

A fresh reason to unplug federal censorship commission
Nobody unwittingly makes the case for dismantling the Federal Communications Commission better than its chairman, Brendan Carr.
Would a licensed broadcaster be allowed to air the live-streamed execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan?
The FCC will defer to the Pentagon on that one, Carr said on Friday.
But air unfavorable coverage that might upset President Donald Trump? Expect a legal fight.

For days, a 15-year-old boy clung to an overturned skiff as it bobbed in a remote patch of the vast Bering Sea off Alaska after it had capsized, killing his older brother and a cousin.
When the three failed to return as expected on Sunday to Savoonga, a small village on the northern tip of St. Lawrence Island,
the U.S. Coast Guard set a search effort in motion that ended Monday when the teenager was pulled to safety by the crew of a fishing vessel.
The ordeal began Friday mo…

In a court filing on Friday, Kevin Griess, the superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks, said the agency planned to
cull hundreds of the trees on the course as part of the clearing operation.
