With a donation of as much as $25 million, he wanted Cornell Law to establish the Center for the Study of the Structural Constitution — the biggest effort yet by the conservative megadonor to reshape academia in his right-wing image.
The Intercept followed the money trail to reveal how the man known primarily as the Trump administration’s “court whisperer” has secretly funneled part of his billion-dollar war chest to the law school at Texas A&M University.
To many Cornell Law professors, however, a Leo-sponsored center devoted to the “structural Constitution” registered as a potential launchpad for right-wing legal theories at an elite, generally liberal institution.
The center would have its own physical space, staff, programming, visiting professors, and fellows-in-residence, making it “a locus of activity for the structuralist movement, with a sort of gravitational pull attracting the very best of those at its heart.”
Each year, his groups send millions through DonorsTrust, which markets itself as a “principled philanthropic partner for conservative and libertarian donors” and a means to anonymously fund “sensitive or controversial issues.”
In April 2021, Catholic University announced it had received $4.25 million from an “anonymous trust” for a three-year program, with the possibility of expanding “into a larger constitutional law center” after that, based on a joint assessment by the “supporting donor” and the school.
When the medical (Hippocratic) oath directly opposes the law, what's a medical professional to do?
It's a moral, personal, and individual dilemma.
It's insane and tragic that we have to see this development, against professional expertise and statistical and scientific knowledge. At the evident and predictable cost of people and their well being.
My hope is that a notewothy percentage of health care providers will move out of red states. There are shortages everywhere. They'd be welcomed in the more civilized blue states.
The same conservatives that crow about abortion in one breath will echo Great Replacement rhetoric in the next, and talk about 'baby mommas' on welfare being paid by George Soros to 'churn out demon-rat voters' in the third.
The "pro-life" movement has been thoroughly coopted into the service of white supremacy (whether or not Christianity has always been that is a discussion for another time).

Online services like PlanC, Aid Access, and Abuzz disseminate the information; shield laws protect blue-state providers from red-state prosecution if they prescribe pills via telehealth and mail them to patients living under the bans.
A few days later, the same slim majority decided that Wheaton College, a Christian school already exempt from using its insurance policy to pay for birth control, was unduly burdened by having to fill out a form so that a third party could cover the cost.
Almost immediately after the June 2022 ruling, stories started emerging of pregnant people forced to drive hours out of state while miscarrying, carrying dead fetuses, feverish and in pain; of women going into sepsis or losing their fertility — all because doctors feared breaking the law by practicing good medicine.
While emergency rooms around the country turn away pregnant patients in distress — one Oregon OB-GYN called the situation “absolutely shocking,” “appalling,” and “inconceivable —providers and advocates are holding their breaths for the first preventable death due to compulsory medical malpractice.
The narrative is well documented: A violent intimate partner, sensing the impending loss of control over his wife’s or girlfriend’s body and the arrival of a competitor for her time and attention — even if he wanted the baby at first — grows increasingly possessive, volatile, and assaultive.
An analysis by researchers at several Philadelphia medical institutions and published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2022 compared suicide data from 1974, just after Roe, through 2016, by which time restrictions in some states had created what were, for some, insurmountable obstacles to ending a pregnancy.
On hand at the launch (of The Institute at Ben-Gurion University), according to coverage, were officials from global firms like Microsoft and General Motors, as well as top-tier Israeli politicians, like Herzog, the president. (A spokesperson for GM told The Intercept they could not confirm the company’s attendance.)
An American auto maker showing up at the opening of a secretive cyberspying training academy in Israel is concerning.
In November, in a video filmed at the Gaza Strip, Hulio announced his new startup, Dream Security, an AI firm focused on defending critical infrastructure.
In April, according to Israel’s largest newspaper, a co-founder of IntelEye — a company that monitors the “dark web” — identified his former NSO colleague Hulio as an investor.
This month, he announced the founding of “The Institute,” a new initiative at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev that aims to become an Israeli hub for training and research on artificial intelligence.
Taking the helm of The Institute is the most recent step in Hulio’s makeover from being a public villain to becoming a cyberhero, leading a nation’s technological education.
Local media reported on the suspenseful cyber-takedown of Mustafa and Mohammed Ayyash, the two Palestinian brothers alleged to have run the Gaza Now Telegram channel.
Israel Hayom claimed that Gaza Now’s Telegram and WhatsApp channels were shut down and “dramatically impaired.” Both, however, remain up and running, with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Obstructing free speech and obscuring reality is a big win for fascism...
Indeed, the only thing WhatsApp-specific in this story is that WhatsApp engineers are the ones pointing out this attack vector and saying someone should maybe do something about it. A lot of the replies here don't seem to understand that this vulnerability applies equally to almost all messaging apps - hardly any of them even pad their messages to a fixed size, much less send cover traffic and/or delay messages. 😦
This is a traffic analysis attack, and doesn't really have anything to do with Whatsapp specifically. The same exact thing can be done with Signal, and likely is already many times over
