Brown University Taps DEI Official To Restore ‘Sense of Physical Security’ on Campus
Brown University is launching a “campus-wide healing and recovery” initiative aimed at “ensuring a sense of physical security” following December’s deadly shooting. Rather than tapping a psychologist or trauma specialist to lead the effort, the Ivy League school appointed Matthew Guterl, the vice president of Brown’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion and professor of “Africana Studies.”

Democrat Graham Platner Marched with Somali Activist Tied to Nonprofit Accused of Fraud To Show ‘Solidarity’ With Minnesota’s Scandal-Plagued Somali Community
Controversial Senate candidate Graham Platner (D., Maine), hoisting a “Solidarity” sign and protest fist, marched with Maine Somalis last month to show support for Minnesota’s Somali community, which has been implicated in a staggering fraud scandal. Ironically, one of Platner’s comrades at the event, Safiya Khalid, served as a top official at a Maine nonprofit under investigation for defrauding the state out of millions of dollars in health care payments.

Republican congressman injured in ‘pretty bad’ car accident
Republican Rep. Jim Baird of Indiana and his wife, Danise Baird, have been hospitalized following a car crash.
The couple’s vehicle “was struck in an accident,” according to a statement from Baird’s office, and Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly indicated that Baird may have suffered a spinal injury.
‘They’re going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident.’
Nevertheless, Baird, 80, “is expected to make a full recovery,” his office said.
“He is extraordinarily grateful for everyone’s prayers during this time.”
Fox News reported that Baird is “responsive and in stable condition.” Details of when and where the crash took place remain unclear.

President Donald Trump expressed wishes for the Bairds’ speedy recovery during an address to a House GOP legislative retreat at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday.
“I also want to send our best wishes to Congressman Jim Baird and his wife, who are recovering from a car accident,” Trump said. “They’re going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident, and we’re praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly.”
Reports about the car accident involving the Bairds came shortly after news broke that Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) died suddenly earlier this week after reportedly suffering an aneurysm and later a heart attack during surgery. He was 65.
LaMalfa’s death and the resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) now leave Republicans with a slim 218-213 majority in the House.

McRib fake-out? Sticky lawsuit claims no ‘actual pork rib meat’ in fan-favorite McDonald’s menu item
A class-action lawsuit filed last month is challenging McDonald’s over a cult-favorite menu item, the McRib.
The lawsuit, filed on December 23 in U.S. District Court in Chicago, alleges that McDonald’s engaged in false advertising when promoting the limited-time menu item.
‘We’ve always been transparent about our ingredients so guests can make the right choice for them.’
The four plaintiffs in the complaint are Peter Le of Baldwin Park, California; Charles Lynch of Poughkeepsie, New York; Darien Baker of Chicago, Illinois; and Darrick Wilson of Washington, D.C.

The complaint claims that the McRib “does not contain any meaningful quantity of actual pork rib meat — indeed, none at all.” The plaintiffs claim that the fast-food chain uses lower-quality cuts of meat instead of rib meat, including, “inter alia, pork shoulder, heart, tripe or scalded stomach.”
In December 2024, when the McRib was available, the complaint shows that the McRib was one of the most expensive individual items on the menu, even exceeding the price of a Big Mac on average.
As a result, had they “known that the McRib did not contain any actual pork rib meat, [the plaintiffs] would not have purchased the McRib or would only have purchased it for a lower price.”
In a statement obtained by CBS News, McDonald’s USA said, “This lawsuit distorts the facts, and many of the claims are inaccurate. Food quality and safety are at the heart of everything we do — that’s why we’re committed to using real, quality ingredients across our entire menu. Our fan-favorite McRib sandwich is made with 100% pork sourced from farmers and suppliers across the U.S. We’ve always been transparent about our ingredients so guests can make the right choice for them.”
CBS also reported that McDonald’s denied the specific claim that the McRib contains pork hearts, tripe, or scalded stomach and that the company said the McRib has a base of 100% seasoned boneless pork.
The complaint emphasizes that the marketing for the McRib was “materially misleading” for consumers, potentially affecting their purchasing decisions.
The McRib was first introduced in Kansas City in 1981.
