Pre-Professionalization at Its Own Expense. At the RSO Fair, the lines for Maroon Capital, Eckhart Consulting, and Blue Chips stretched across the Main Quad. The performing arts and creative writing tables? Nearly empty. Is @UChicago becoming a pipeline instead of a place to think? Alek Mohmand-Borkowski takes a look at what we trade away when résumé-building starts on day one.

NEW: UChicago’s “Students for Justice in Palestine” boldly declares that “elections cannot be fair on stolen land.” Members of this group have referred to the United States as stolen land before. Will the FBI place UChicago SJP on the no-fly list for election denialism?

Elissa Slotkin is playing the victim, yet she promised us to our faces last week to weaponize the justice system against the Trump admin in order to intimidate young conservatives out of public service. She threatened college students. She needs to be investigated.
This is not the first time this president has tried to weaponize the justice system against me. At his direction, earlier this year, the Department of Justice took me to a D.C. grand jury to have me criminally indicted for sedition. If President Trump had his way, I'd be in prison. Thankfully, an anonymous group of Americans, whom I will never meet, voted unanimously that all I was doing was exercising basic free speech. So I know from experience, when it comes to weaponizing the government, the president says what he means, and he means what he says.

This US Senator told us to our face last week that she would weaponize government specifically to intimidate young conservatives out of public service, and now she’s doubling down on her plans for political persecution. She is an authoritarian. She needs to be investigated.
We need to go on offense.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin's remarks have now prompted calls for investigations from BOTH the Senate Ethics Committee and the DOJ. CASA filed a formal ethics complaint calling for an investigation into her statements about deterring young Americans from serving in the Trump administration. Now, Mike Davis of the Article III Project is urging the DOJ to examine whether those SAME remarks warrant a civil rights investigation. The Senate Ethics Committee now has a formal complaint before it. CASA is pressing for those concerns to receive a thorough investigation.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The DOJ is being urged to investigate Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) over remarks about targeting Trump administration officials and deterring young professionals from taking jobs in the administration. The request comes from Article III Project founder Mike Davis in a letter obtained by @dcexaminer.
