LSU’s 51-10 thrashing of Clemson in Baton Rouge has reignited debate about whether Dabo Swinney can still deliver for the Tigers after years of declining results and costly decisions. LSU didn’t just beat Clemson on a stormy Saturday night in Baton Rouge, they steamrolled them. The 51-10 rout wasn’t close, and the box score paints an even grimmer picture for a program that once stood atop college football. Swinney’s Tigers managed just eight first downs to LSU’s 38 and a paltry 40 rushing yards. By halftime, Clemson had already switched quarterbacks. Christopher Vizzina, who started, threw for only 83 yards on 16 attempts and gave up a pick-six. Freshman Tait Reynolds relieved him, tallying just 22 passing yards and…Open

A federal judge has cleared the Pentagon to fire three Stars and Stripes journalists after rejecting their request to halt the terminations, a move their attorney warns could threaten editorial independence at the military-run news outlet.

The decision means the Pentagon can move forward with terminating all three employees, who argue they are being punished for defending the paper’s independence and for speaking out about conditions aboard a U.S. Navy…Open

A federal judge raised alarms that President Trump’s public push to revisit the vandalism case against David Hearn could permanently derail new charges, putting prosecutors and the justice system on the spot. Former U.S. Olympian David Hearn returned to court Friday, hoping to end the legal saga that has surrounded his alleged role in damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. Hearn’s attorneys urged Judge Todd Edelman to dismiss the case “with prejudice,” a move that would prevent federal prosecutors from bringing any new charges based on the same incident. The central dispute is not just about the facts of the alleged vandalism, but about the fallout from heated public statements made by President Donald…Open
