On a widely watched stream, Piker played the victim before he did something a victim never does: he identified who funds the network he defends. He pointed to Neville Roy Singham, an American Marxist living in Shanghai, and tied the federal subpoenas to a broader puzzle that reaches beyond a single trip to Cuba. Singham is described as…

Ken Paxton defeated four-term Sen. John Cornyn in a bruising runoff on Tuesday, a high-stakes fight marked by heavy spending, sharp attacks, and a last-minute endorsement from President Trump.

This piece looks at why those views diverge and what that mismatch means for students and hiring organizations. Students leave classrooms with a sense they have mastered the material and are ready for a profession. That optimism is useful; confidence can drive applications, interviews, and early career risk-taking.…
