In mid-February, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was fighting to keep her job, she held an election-security event at a Homeland Security Investigations field office in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the past, she said, the state had been an “absolute disaster on elections,” and ensuring the security of election equipment was her responsibility. She also urged Congress to pass President Trump’s voter-ID bill. The message was less surprising than the location. HSI, the agency’s investigative branch, devotes most of its efforts to going after transnational drug cartels and human-trafficking networks, not to securing domestic elections.A week after the event, Arizona’s acting special agent in charge for HSI, Matthew Murphy, told the state attorney general’s office that his office was now probing the 2020 election in Arizona, according to a person familiar with the details of the meeting. A state investigator asked why the government was scrutinizing the results, given that they had already been litigated and investigated. Murphy made clear that he was acting on “direction from D.C.,” the person told us, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The HSI investigation in Arizona, which has not previously been reported, comes as the FBI has embarked on a separate election probe in the state. “This is not a joint investigation” with HSI, a person familiar with the FBI investigation told us. HSI headquarters and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice are coordinating the investigation, which is focused on identifying alleged voter-fraud activity and related potential enforcement actions, according to a person familiar with the effort.The Arizona investigations are part of the Trump administration’s escalating effort to vindicate the president’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Trump narrowly lost the contest in Arizona, and the state has since become a magnet for conspiracy theorists. Early last year, the administration ordered the creation of a small task force within HSI to probe election-fraud claims in other cities, according to a former HSI agent and one current HSI agent who described the assigned personnel as “unenthusiastic.” Last month, HSI investigators reportedly showed up at a high school in Dayton, Ohio, to investigate voter fraud. (HSI’s election work is not wholly without precedent; in 2020, for example, HSI investigators charged 19 foreign nationals with illegally voting in the 2016 election.)

Their targets appeared overwhelmed by the speed and severity of the offensive. By the end of November, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, and Northwestern had all made deals with the administration to stop the onslaught. Harvard was rumored to be close to reaching a deal as well.But the aggressive pace that won the administration so many early victories eventually proved to be its great weakness. The government could move so quickly only by skipping almost all of the procedural steps required by federal law. Once universities and their allies recovered from their shock and challenged the Trump administration, they were able to block many, if not most, of the White House’s moves in court. Trump has certainly left his mark on America’s universities. But he has not broken them. So much has happened during Trump’s second term that it can be hard to remember just how focused the administration once was on persecuting universities. In February 2025, Trump’s Education Department ordered colleges to end DEI trainings, stop awarding scholarships reserved for nonwhite students, and shut down any other programs, including affinity-group housing, that distinguished students by race or ethnicity. In a letter outlining its interpretation of legal precedent, the department argued that even race-neutral efforts to increase diversity could be illegal. And just as the Education Department was launching its anti-DEI offensive, the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies began announcing that they would cap so-called indirect costs for university research—which help pay for research facilities and administrative expenses—at 15 percent, down from individually negotiated rates that could be as high as 70 percent. This represented a huge financial blow to universities that received federal research funding.In March, the administration canceled $400 million of Columbia’s grants and contracts, ostensibly as punishment for the university’s failures to address anti-Semitism. It followed that up by freezing or canceling billions of dollars more in funding for research at Princeton, Harvard, Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, and UCLA. (To restore funding, several of these schools later reached settlements with the administration either to pay the government or to fund local workforce development.) Last spring, Trump banned international students from dozens of countries,… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago
- Lurking dementia risk exposed by breakthrough test 25 years before symptoms
A new blood test could determine a woman’s dementia risk as early as 25 years before symptoms emerge.That’s according to new research from the University of California San Diego, which found that a specific biomarker protein associated with early pathological processes of Alzheimer’s disease was "strongly linked" to future dementia risk.The researchers analyzed blood samples from 2,766 participants in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study in the late 1990s, according to the study’s press release. KEY FITNESS MEASURE IS STRONG PREDICTOR OF LONGEVITY AFTER CERTAIN AGE, STUDY FINDSThe women ranged from 65 to 79 years of age and showed no signs of cognitive decline at the start of the study.After tracking the participants for up to 25 years, the researchers concluded that the biomarker phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) was "strongly associated" with future mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Women who had higher levels of p-tau217 at the beginning of the study were "much more likely" to develop the disease. The findings were published today in JAMA Network Open."The key takeaway is that our study suggests it may be possible to detect risk of dementia two decades in advance using a simple blood test in older women," first author Aladdin H. Shadyab, a UC San Diego associate professor of public health and medicine, told Fox News Digital. "Our findings show that the blood biomarker p-tau217 could help identify individuals at higher risk for dementia long before symptoms begin," he added.This long lead time could open the door to earlier prevention strategies and more targeted monitoring, rather than waiting until memory problems are already affecting daily life, according to Shadyab."As the research advances, these biomarkers may help us identify who is at greatest risk and develop strategies to delay or prevent dementia," he said.This risk relationship wasn’t the same across the board, however. Women over 70 with higher p-tau217 levels had "poorer cognitive outcomes" compared to those under 70, as did those with the APOE ε4 gene, which is a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.The study also found that p-tau217 was a stronger predictor of dementia in women who were randomly assigned to receive estrogen and progestin hormone therapy compared to those who received a placebo.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Blood-based biomarkers like p-tau217 are especially promising because they are far less invasive and potentially more accessible than brain imaging or spinal fluid tests," said senior author Linda K. McEvoy, senior… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago
