HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: University of Kansas staffer faces backlash over ‘#DeathtoMAGA’ post amid pattern of campus rhetoric.

Maybe death threats to political opponents don’t go well with the job of . . . public affairs officer.

EPISTEMIC CLOSURE:

Expert class libs like Matt really thought Obama had solved politics and the country would just keep doing Obamism forever.

Much of the post Obama-era derangement is their psychic shock at realizing most people—outside their No Kings bubble—now regard him as an utter failure. https://t.co/o8CX7o70rM

DON’T GET COCKY: Democrats Are Really Screwed Now.

BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD TODAY: Pizza Hut has brought back its “Book It” Program.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Bombshell sex harassment suit against Lorna Hajdini, JPMorgan branded ‘complete fabrication’ as John Doe unmasked.

A former JPMorgan staffer who sources identified as Chirayu Rana has been accused of making fabricated sexual-harassment claims against a high-ranking executive at the bank after an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing, The Post has learned.

Multiple sources told The Post that 35-year-old Rana, now a principal at investment firm Bregal Sagemount, is the man who brought the bombshell lawsuit against Lorna Hajdini earlier this week.

Rana’s suit, filed on Monday under the pseudonym John Doe, accused the 37-year-old executive director of turning him into her “sex slave” by drugging him with Rohypnol and Viagra and threatening to slash his bonus if he did not comply.

The story as originally reported was likely doing wonders for JPMorgan’s recruiting:

Incidentally, what is up with the photo of Rana in the Post’s article? It looks like it’s either AI-generated, or massively Photoshopped and processed. When the story first broke, I thought it was bound to soon become a “ripped from the headlines” Law & Order episode. But perhaps Pixar is getting the jump on buying the rights:

UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

All it took was this guy's photo for everyone to go from "wow this is a spicy story" to "ok this is total bullshit" https://t.co/YmXZA3xgtl

ICYMI: REMEMBER, TRUMP IS A THREAT TO NORMALCY:

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just called the Supreme Court "illegitimate." That follows Democratic politicians and pundits calling for the packing of the Supreme Court. Nothing says Happy 250th Anniversary like tearing down the core institutions of the Republic.
