Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson faces calls to withdraw, resign after CNN report
Politics professor John Dinan said it’s likely Republican candidates in competitive races will be led to distance themselves from Robinson. "All of this poses significant challenges for Republican candidates during the final stretch of the campaign, and it is why there have almost certainly been intense efforts by Republican officials to press Robinson to reconsider his decision to remain in the race,” he said.
WXII also interviewed Dinan for this story.

The false idea behind Project 2025’s plans for LGBTQ rights
For queer Americans and their allies, the document’s danger is not just the specific proposals: it is its framing of LGBTQ+ identity as harmful to children. This child protection rhetoric is a proverbial bad penny, turning up again and again to impede queer people’s rights. But each time, the LGBTQ+ community has managed to defeat the argument—and has gained new rights in the process," writes law professor Marie-Amélie George, an expert on LGBTQ+ legal history.

Project 2025 would ‘essentially eviscerate EPA,’ former staff warn
“Project 2025 is just full of recommendations that would essentially eviscerate EPA. They would turn it into a shell of what its true mission is,” said Stan Meiburg, executive director of the Sabin Center for Environment and Sustainability. “From ambient air quality standards to regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from cars and from power plants — all of those are things that Project 2025 recommendations and the Trump administration in its previous iteration went right after."

Time to scoot: Finish talks and get U.S. troops out of Iraq
Dangers to U.S. soldiers aside, experts see proxy strikes and counterstrikes as a primary way the current turmoil in the Middle East could turn into a regional war. The costs of that would be astronomical for the United States. Is an outcome like that worth it to U.S. national security? No, not given the limited benefits and substantial risks of keeping troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria. It’s time for U.S. troops to leave.

A big highlight of the weighted vest, according to health and exercise science professor Kristin Beavers, is that it gives older adults access to exercise equipment that can easily be used at home. “Getting people to exercise is hard,” Beavers said. “So if this makes it a little easier, I do think there are some real advantages from an access standpoint. You can walk around your neighborhood and sneak resistance training in, which I do think is important for your muscles and your bones.”

Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz speaks at rally in Asheville
Politics professor John Dinan said, ‘These visits mean even more when they are to areas that aren’t used to seeing candidates every week, as some metropolitan areas are. So one might see the Harris-Walz campaign taking a page from Trump’s strategy and saying let’s go out and devote our attention to some cities and towns that may not be so used to getting the attention and the visits.”
