We discuss taxpayer funded pro-Trump ads, the Supreme Court approving a widely inaccurate verification system to purge voter registration, the Chi Phi Snapchat gang assault at Cornell, Trump reinstating the 2020 version of Title IX, how Prime Minister Peter Magyar is cracking down on Orban’s corruption, and the upcoming election in Brazil.
