Professor Who Attacked Jason Arday Suspended | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.

Today we discuss:

• Nathan Cofnas, the U.S. professor who raised plagiarism concerns over ‌Cambridge professor Jason Arday, who then committed suicide, has been suspended by Belgium's Ghent University and is under investigation for discrimination. Arday, Cambridge's youngest Black professor, killed himself at age 41. Arday denied plagiarism but ​acknowledged mistakes.

• The Navy is discussing renaming an aircraft carrier after Trump. The ship, which is still under construction, was set to be named the USS Doris Miller in honor of an enlisted sailor who famously staffed an anti-aircraft gun during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Miller, a mess attendant, grabbed the gun shot down at least one Japanese plane and dragged wounded U.S. sailors to safety.

• Democrats are preparing an all-out oversight campaign targeting President Trump, his family and administration should they flip the House. Leading the effort are California Rep. Robert Garcia, who is poised to lead the Oversight Committee under a Democratic takeover, and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, who is in line to lead the Judiciary Committee. They are planning to investigate Trump’s acceptance of a Qatari jet and his family’s cryptocurrency investments. Democrats want to build an accountability message for 2028.
