Liberal arts college drops prof’s name from campus hall after grave dig controversy
A small Pennsylvania liberal arts college is scrubbing a professor’s name from a campus building after revelations he excavated a Native American burial site and promoted racial hierarchies.
Swarthmore College, located outside Philadelphia, has already removed Spencer Trotter’s name from the building formerly known as Trotter Hall, now temporarily labeled "Old Science Hall," as it works toward a permanent replacement. The college also removed Trotter’s name from the adjacent lawn.
The push to remove Trotter’s name follows a more than two-year investigation by the college, according to the school’s student newspaper, The Phoenix. The review followed a 2022 report that highlighted the excavation of a Lenape burial site whose ownership was later returned to Native American hands, the outlet reported.
According to The Phoenix, a faculty-chaired task force that includes students, faculty and staff has since spent months reviewing records, surveying the campus community and narrowing potential names, with a final recommendation due to the college president by May 1, 2026, before being sent for Board of Managers approval.
CALIFORNIA TO REMOVE RACIST TERM FOR NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN FROM MORE THAN 30 PLACES
The building has carried Trotter’s name since 1937, but a college review, detailed in a campus communication from President Val Smith, found the longtime biology professor excavated a Lenape burial site in 1899, removing human remains and displaying them on campus, actions the college now says were unethical.
The college has said it has been unable to determine what ultimately happened to the remains Trotter displayed, according to The Phoenix.
In a prior letter to the campus community, Smith apologized for the history, stating the remains "should never have been removed from their burial site" and calling the actions "inexcusable," even if such practices were more common at the time.

But the decision has also sparked questions about whether such moves amount to rewriting history.
At a recent town hall, that concern was raised directly, The Phoenix reported, with some alumni and community members questioning whether removing Trotter’s name constitutes revisionism.
Some alumni have criticized the move as "revisionist," arguing it risks undermining the college’s commitment to historical inquiry, according to The Phoenix.
Critics of the renaming say keeping Trotter’s name could allow the college to confront its history rather than remove visible reminders of it. Supporters say the change acknowledges harm caused by the excavation and display of Native American remains.

Task force member and history professor Bob Weinberg pushed back, saying reassessing historical figures is part of the academic process.
"You don’t want to erase the past, but you want to acknowledge it… and explain why it’s important that we are changing this," he said, according to the student newspaper.
The task force has worked to identify a replacement name aligned with the college’s current priorities, including increasing diversity and choosing someone with direct ties to the institution.
"It turns out individuals are really complicated," task force chair Cat Norris told The Phoenix, noting the difficulty of vetting potential names.
Trotter, who taught for more than 30 years around the turn of the 20th century, has also drawn criticism for writings described as "scientific racism," including claims that Native Americans underutilized land later farmed by Europeans.
Proposals to name the building after the Lenape people were considered but ultimately rejected over concerns they could be seen as performative without additional action, according to The Phoenix.
The college has also launched a broader review of its collections and handling of human remains, including new ethical standards for acquisition and repatriation, The Phoenix reported.
A final decision on the building’s new name is expected later this year.

Trump administration rejects UN migration declaration, says 'mass migration was never safe'
The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it refused to back an International Migration Review Forum "progress" declaration, accusing the U.N. of efforts to "advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West."
The U.S. did not participate in the second International Migration Review Forum, held May 5–8 at U.N. Headquarters in New York, and will not support the declaration, the department said in a statement on Monday.
The forum is the U.N.’s main global platform for member states to review implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, according to the U.N. Network on Migration. The 2026 forum was scheduled to produce an intergovernmentally agreed "Progress Declaration."
President Donald Trump ended U.S. participation in the U.N. process to develop the Global Compact for Migration during his first term in 2017, and now the State Department says the federal government will again affirm its opposition.
TRUMP PULLS US OUT OF UN-LINKED MIGRATION FORUM IN BOLD IMMIGRATION MOVE
The Global Compact was adopted in 2018 after the U.S. withdrew from the process. The U.N. and International Organization for Migration describe the compact as a cooperative framework intended to improve migration governance across countries.
"As Secretary Rubio said, opening our doors to mass migration was a grave mistake that threatens the cohesion of our societies and the future of our peoples," the department's statement reads. " In recent years, Americans witnessed first-hand how mass immigration laid waste to our communities: crime and chaos at the border, states of emergency in major cities, and billions of taxpayer dollars funneled towards hotels, plane tickets, cell phones and cash cards for migrants."
"Much of this was driven by UN agencies and their partners, which did not just facilitate the invasion of our country, but proceeded to redistribute our own people’s wealth and resources to millions of foreigners from the worst corners of the world," it continued.
The department argued there was nothing safe, orderly or regular about any of this, adding that the costs "were borne primarily by working Americans forced to compete for scarce jobs, housing, and social services."
"The UN has little to say about them," the department wrote.
TRUMP UNVEILS ‘REVERSE MIGRATION’ PLAN TO HALT ‘THIRD WORLD’ IMMIGRATION, REVOKE BIDEN-ERA ENTRIES
"President Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats," the statement reads. "The United States will not support a process that imposes, overtly or by stealth, guidelines, standards, or commitments that constrain the American people’s sovereign, democratic right to make decisions in the best interests of our country."
The department concluded its statement by saying its goal is not to "manage" migration, but to "foster remigration."
In a thread on X also announcing the move to object to the declaration, the department said UN agencies "systematically facilitated mass migration into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration." It added that U.N. materials related to the Global Compact call for expanding regular migration pathways and reference "regularization" of migrants.
The International Organization for Migration says the forum is held every four years for countries to review progress and shape next steps on migration policy. IOM, which coordinates the U.N. Network on Migration, says the network includes 39 U.N. agencies working to support countries on migration issues.
The department alleged that "UN agencies – working with the NGOs they fund – established a migration corridor through Central America and to the U.S. border," the post reads. "As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border."
"After facilitating mass migration to the United States, UN agencies condemned the deportation of illegal immigrants," the post continued. "While the United Kingdom faced unprecedented illegal boat crossings, UN agencies condemned plans for deportations. UN officials lobbied aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of migrants – an appalling violation of the UK’s national sovereignty."
The U.N. Network on Migration describes the compact as "non-legally binding." A U.N.-hosted text of the compact also says it respects states’ sovereign right to determine their national migration policies and to distinguish between regular and irregular migration status.
The declaration itself says the Global Compact is a cooperative framework and acknowledges that no state can address migration alone, while also upholding the sovereignty of states.
The department pushed back on the compact’s framing of migration as "safe, orderly and regular."
"For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies," it wrote.
"The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations," the post added.
U.N. materials frame the compact as a cooperative framework for issues that often cross borders, including labor migration, border management, migrant protections and development. U.N. agencies, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, describe the IMRF as a state-led review process with participation from relevant stakeholders.

Suspected roadway gunman with reported criminal history sparks outrage after drivers shot
Outrage erupted online following a chaotic police-involved shooting in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Monday, with critics pointing to the suspected gunman’s criminal history after authorities said he opened fire along a busy roadway.
Video shared by FOX 25 Boston appears to show the suspect, identified by Middlesex County District Attorney Marian T. Ryan as Tyler Brown, walking down the street while firing as cars pass nearby, prompting a heavy law enforcement response.
The station reported the video shows the suspect being shot, though the portion of the footage it shared does not include that moment.
Massachusetts State Police said troopers responded around 1:20 p.m. to a shooting involving law enforcement in the area of Memorial Drive and River Street.
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
"EMS has responded to the scene to treat at least one individual for a gunshot wound," the agency said, adding that no additional details about the circumstances were immediately available.
Cambridge Police Department (CPD) said officers were called shortly after 1:30 p.m. for reports of gunshots in the same area, noting there is no ongoing danger to the public.
MASSACHUSETTS POLICE OFFICER SHOT BY COLLEAGUE DURING SERVICE OF RESTRAINING ORDER
"CPD and State Police are on-scene, however there is no on-going danger to the public," the department said in a statement, asking residents to avoid the area.
Ryan said the incident began after Boston police alerted authorities about a man acting erratically who was believed to be armed with a rifle.
By the time officers arrived, the situation had escalated into what officials described as an active shooter incident, with the suspect walking down the middle of Memorial Drive and firing in an erratic manner as traffic came to a halt.
"In the course of doing that, two males in vehicles separately were struck by gunfire," Ryan said.
Authorities said a Massachusetts State Police trooper and an armed civilian — described as a former Marine licensed to carry — confronted the suspect as people fled their vehicles and sought cover.
Both the trooper and the civilian fired their weapons, striking Brown multiple times in the extremities, Ryan said. Brown was treated at the scene and transported to a Boston hospital, where he remains in custody.
The two victims who were shot while inside their vehicles were also taken to Boston hospitals with life-threatening injuries, officials said.
FBI REVEALS BROWN UNIVERSITY MASS SHOOTER BEGAN PLOTTING MASSACRE AS EARLY AS 2022, BLAMED VICTIMS
Ryan said a "very high number of rounds — in the neighborhood of 50 to 60 — were fired in a very short period of time" during the incident.
Brown is expected to face multiple charges, including two counts of armed assault with intent to murder, along with weapons offenses.
Boston 25 News reported that Brown has a criminal history spanning nearly two decades, citing court records tied to a man with the same name and date of birth that include prior firearm and drug convictions. The outlet reported that in 2020, Brown fired multiple rounds at Boston police officers while already on probation in a separate case.
The report said prosecutors at the time sought a significantly longer sentence, but a judge imposed a shorter term that drew criticism from the district attorney’s office.
Reaction to Brown’s reported criminal history quickly spread online, with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy writing on social media that "the judge who let this guy off easy should go to prison."
Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue weighed in on the shooting, vowing to push to ensure that repeat offenders like Brown are not given lenient sentences or parole.
"The fundamental role of the governor is to uphold the law and keep our communities safe. When our criminal justice system throws common sense out the window and allows dangerous, violent people to get out of prison quickly or early, it means innocent moms, dads, and kids may be killed," Minogue said in a statement. "I am grateful to the officers who stopped today's attack and saved lives."
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey reiterated in a post on X that there is no ongoing threat to the public following the shooting.
"I’m closely monitoring the situation on Memorial Drive. @MassStatePolice are on the scene and working alongside local law enforcement to investigate. There is no ongoing threat to the public," she wrote. "However, residents and commuters are strongly encouraged to avoid the area to allow public safety personnel to do their work. Grateful to first responders who worked quickly to keep people safe and secure the scene."
Savannah Guthrie to host 'Wordle' game show for NBC as mother's disappearance reaches 100 days
NBC revealed Monday that "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie will be hosting a primetime "Wordle" game show, with the announcement coinciding with the 100-day mark of her mother's disappearance.
"Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, who is set to produce the game show, appeared on "Today" alongside Guthrie to promote the new program.
"We’ve been developing ‘Wordle’ as a game show for the past two and a half years with The New York Times, and it’s official, we are making ‘Wordle’ game show with our host, Savannah Guthrie!" Fallon told viewers.
"We’ve been holding this secret between us for, like, a long time now," Guthrie said.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE ASKS FOR PRAYER AS HER MOTHER REMAINS MISSING: 'WE NEED YOU'
"Wordle" is the widely-popular puzzle game that first went viral in 2021 and was later bought by The New York Times.
Guthrie revealed that "Wordle" had been picked up by NBC in February and that it was supposed to be shot in March, but the network's plans were upended by the tragic disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, from her Tuscon, Arizona, home. She thanked the network, Fallon, The Times and Universal for pausing production.
AUTHORITIES TO RELEASE IMAGE OF POTENTIAL SUBJECT IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE
"When everything happened with me and my family, they just stopped everything and said, ‘We’ll wait for you,’" Savannah said. "And Hollywood is like a really tough business, as you know, and I didn’t expect that. And I just want to say, thank you. It means so much to me."
"We can’t do it without you," Fallon responded. "We need you, bud. You’re so good, and it’s so fun. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. It’s fantastic."
Filming is expected to take place in the summer. An air date has yet to be announced.
Guthrie returned to "Today" in early April after a two-month absence as the search for her mother drew national attention.
Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been taken from her home against her will in the early hours Feb. 1 and was last seen when her son-in-law dropped her off at home around 10 p.m. the night before. Footage captured from a device in front of the home showed a masked man was seen on her doorstep and appeared to be armed with a handgun.

A series of unverified ransom notes were sent to media outlets, including TMZ and a local Tucson station, leading many to believe the disappearance is somehow financially motivated. No suspects have been publicly identified.
Investigators and the family have repeatedly appealed to the public for help. There is a combined reward of more than $1.2 million in connection with the case — a million of it from the Guthrie family for their mother's recovery. The family has asked anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Craig Morton, quarterback who led the Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance, dead at 83
Former Denver Broncos quarterback Craig Morton, who was inducted into the team’s Ring of Fame, died on Saturday. He was 83.
Morton was critical in helping the Broncos reach their first-ever playoff appearance, ultimately getting them to Super Bowl XII during the 1977 campaign.
After going 12-2 during the season, and getting wins in the playoffs over the Pittsburgh Steelers and then-Oakland Raiders, Morton was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Year.

"Craig Morton is unbelievable," fellow Ring of Famer Haven Moses said after the Broncos won the AFC Championship in 1978, per the New York Times. "To me, he’s the most valuable player in the National Football League."
Morton also won Sporting News Player of the Year, the PFWA Comeback Player of the Year and the NFL UPI MVP in 1977.
"We are saddened to learn of the passing of #BroncosROF quarterback Craig Morton, who died on Saturday at the age of 83," the Broncos posted on social media.
Morton also led the Broncos to two different division titles and three playoff berths during his six seasons with the franchise. He finished his career in Denver with 11,895 passing yards, which marked the most in franchise history at the time.

Morton also led the Broncos with pass attempts (1,594) and completions (907). But Morton’s time with the Broncos was the latter half of his NFL career.
He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1965, the fifth overall pick out of Cal. Morton spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Cowboys, where he threw for 10,279 yards with 80 touchdowns and 73 interceptions. He went 32-14-1 in his time with Dallas.
Then, during the 1974 season, Morton was moved to the New York Giants, a division rival of the Cowboys. He went 1-6 in his first seven starts that year and wouldn’t find much success in New York across three seasons.
For his career, Morton threw for 27,908 yards with 183 touchdowns. He owned an 81-62-1 record across 207 games.
Draymond Green wants retribution for Timberwolves after Wembanyama dodges NBA punishment
It’s been a busy 24 hours for Draymond Green.
Instead of watching the NBA Playoffs from his couch, Green has been everywhere, making a cameo at Kevin Hart’s roast, taking a shot at Chelsea Handler as an off-the-court "3," and stirring headlines behind a podcast mic.
Green had plenty to say after Sunday’s heated Game 4 in Minneapolis, where Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama was ejected against the Timberwolves.
VICTOR WEMBANYAMA SETS NBA POSTSEASON BLOCK RECORD IN THE SPURS' LOSS TO THE TIMBERWOLVES
Wemby made his first career ejection count, driving an elbow into Naz Reid’s neck. The play was ruled a Flagrant 2, and San Antonio never recovered without its centerpiece, losing to even the series at 2-2.
On Monday, Green jumped on his podcast and ripped both Wembanyama and the NBA after the league chose not to issue a suspension or fine. The truth is, the NBA was not fully expected to ground one of its biggest stars ahead of a pivotal playoff game.
VICTOR WENBANYAMA AVOIDS SUSPENSION FOR ELBOW ON NAZ REID, WILL PLAY GAME 5
As a longtime enforcer no stranger to throwing elbows, Green argued the punishment did not go far enough and that Minnesota got the short end.
"What if the shoe was on the other foot and Naz was taking out Wemby?" Green asked.
"There would be fines. There would be suspensions. Jaden McDaniels and Jokic just got fined for much less. For there not to be a fine is crazy.
"After watching their coach say ‘well I’m happy he took matters into his own hands and leveled Naz Reid with an elbow,’ I would say to the Timberwolves it’s fair game. There’s no suspension, no fines. Who’s coming out there tomorrow night and doing it to Wemby?"
Early buzz suggested Wembanyama could face a suspension.
Replays showed a violent swing that may not have been precisely targeted but looked deliberate enough to raise eyebrows.
Even Spurs teammate Dylan Harper appeared stunned by the outburst. But after review, the NBA did not see enough to warrant further punishment.
After the loss, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson defended his star.
"Just the amount of physicality that people play with him, at some level, you have to protect yourself," Johnson said.
"Every single play, people are trying to impose their physicality on you. He’s gotten pushed down in transition, running freely. We do not complain, we just play. But at some stage, he should be protected. If not, he’s going to have to protect himself, and unfortunately, stuff like that happens.
"It’s starting to get disgusting. I’m glad he took matters into his own hands, not in terms of hitting Naz Reid, but he’s going to have to protect himself if they are not. And I think it’s disgusting."
Now the series shifts to a crucial Game 5 on Tuesday with tensions already boiling over.
And whether the league wants to admit it or not, Green’s warning is hanging in the air. If Minnesota feels wronged, all eyes will be on how they respond.

Student loan rule would penalize graduates who enter ministry, Christian college leaders say
Christian college presidents are sounding the alarm about new federal regulations they say would cripple Christian higher education and effectively penalize students pursuing religious vocations.
The Department of Education’s proposal, known as the Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS), introduces an earnings premium test to determine federal loan eligibility for college programs. The rule — an implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act enacted last year — is designed to protect students from low-earning degrees.
Under the new metric, an undergraduate program "fails" if its graduates do not earn more than the median income of a high school graduate aged 25 to 34. For graduate programs, the benchmark is the median earnings of similarly aged adults holding only a bachelor's degree.
The Education Department plans to use IRS and U.S. Census data to evaluate these earnings four years after a student completes their degree.
FAITH UNDER FIRE: HOW TRUMP'S 'BEAUTIFUL BILL' TARGETS CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
"Programs that routinely fail to provide students with a reliable return on investment would lose access to federal student loans, and in certain cases, Pell Grants," the Education Department said in an April 17 press release. Schools would have to disclose the program is a failing program and stop new student enrollments.
However, Christian college leaders warned the regulations would disproportionately affect religious programs and exacerbate a national shortage of clergy, according to a new report by Christianity Today.
"It’s an existential threat to the future of religious higher education in the US—I don’t think that’s an overstatement," Philip Dearborn, head of the Association for Biblical Higher Education, told CT. "It came out of left field."
According to Dearborn, 21 presidents from Christian colleges met with lawmakers in Washington last month to lobby against the rule.
CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY BREAKS RECORDS DESPITE BIDEN-ERA PROBES
"Financial outcomes matter, but they don’t totally measure whether an education is worthwhile," David Hoag, president of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), told Christianity Today.
The report cited the government's own estimates that religious programs would be one of the hardest-hit programs, predicting that 89% of religion master's degrees and 53% of religion bachelor's degrees would fail under the new metric.

Critics also said in the report this regulation creates an "unfair" experience gap by comparing a recent college graduate to a 34-year-old high school graduate who may have 16 years in the workforce.
The Education Department says if more than half of a college's total Title IV and HEA federal aid is tied to "failing" programs, the entire institution could be placed on provisional status.
Christianity Today noted that other programs, such as culinary arts and music training, face similar risks under the new regulations.
"If folks want to get their degrees in these areas, but they’re not eligible for financial aid, it’s going to significantly impact the religious workforce," Frank Yamada, head of the Association of Theological Schools, said in a statement quoted in the report. "In many Christian traditions now, there are often more job openings or calls available than there are candidates to fill those calls."
A spokesperson for the Education Department told Fox News Digital it could not comment on specific aspects of the proposed accountability rule during the public comment period but will be considering these comments as it develops the final rule.
"The Trump Administration’s proposed accountability framework is grounded in common sense: if postsecondary education programs do not leave graduates better off, taxpayers should not subsidize them," Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said in a previous press release. "This consensus-backed framework will drive meaningful change in postsecondary education, ending years of regulatory whiplash and addressing student debt that has left too many students worse off."
Ted Cruz labels AOC's billionaire comments on American Revolution as 'bizarrely foolish'
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had some harsh words on Monday in response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's, D-N.Y., recent comments on billionaires.
"Well, there's a village somewhere that's missing its idiot," Cruz said on his podcast "Verdict." "What she is saying there is bizarrely foolish and profoundly ideological."
Cruz was responding to Ocasio-Cortez claiming that billionaires like Elon Musk didn't "earn" their wealth without some "abuse" of the system.
TED CRUZ REMINDS AOC HER OWN DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOUNDED KKK, WROTE JIM CROW LAWS
"You can’t earn a billion dollars," Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday. "You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they’re worth. But you can’t earn that, right? And so you have to create a myth...you have to create a myth of earning it."
After receiving pushback, she doubled down on her comments, claiming that the original American Revolution was fought against "the billionaires of their time."
"I want to talk about how this is in the heritage of our country, because America was founded… you look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison in revolt of British aristocracy," Ocasio-Cortez said. "The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. And we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state that the voices of everyday people did not exist."
CRUZ MOCKS OCASIO-CORTEZ IN SENATE FLOOR SPEECH, CHALLENGES DEMS TO 'GO SEE THE BIDEN CAGES'
Cruz, who called out her comments on X when they went viral, elaborated on his opinion, explaining that many of the "billionaires" at the time largely helped to fund the Revolutionary War.
"No one had accumulated a billion dollars, but the richest people in America are the people who funded and supported the revolution against government power," Cruz said. "And like the little Marxist that she is, she takes that story and turns it on its head and says the revolution was against the American free enterprise that actually funded the revolution, and what they were fighting for was giving government more power. She is the King George in this story."
The Texas senator also accused Ocasio-Cortez of pushing communism by attempting to rewrite history and warned her that communistic nations have delivered devastating results.
"AOC, I'm sure she doesn't know the facts, but every place her system of government has been implemented, communism, the result is crushing poverty, starvation, suffering, misery, and it's also in terms of human rights, murder, torture, imprisonment and in China, at least concentration camps. That's literally what the left is arguing for. And they don't know enough, and they're not honest enough to admit it," Cruz said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment.
After her comments claiming billionaires didn't "earn" their fortunes received criticism, Ocasio-Cortez defended her claims on X.
"The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers," she wrote. "Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated — these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power."
'Euphoria' faces backlash after Sydney Sweeney's most X-rated episode yet
"Euphoria" is once again facing backlash, with Sydney Sweeney going topless in the show's most explicit scene this season.
During Sunday night's episode, Sweeney's character, Cassie Howard, wore a low-cut, polka dot bodysuit as she was jumping rope for her OnlyFans subscribers. She was also seen using a pleasure device on herself, mailing used underwear to her subscribers and even sucking her own toe in a video.
Sweeney's Cassie finally reached her limit after an OnlyFans subscriber asked her to "fart into a jar" for $700.
Users on X weighed in on the latest episode.
"sydney sweeney they just cant be paying u enough for all this like the money cant be that good," one user wrote.
Another added, "Does Sydney Sweeney really like doing this much nudity? Like I won’t police a woman if she enjoys this but woah #euphoria."
Many called out "Euphoria" for taking this episode "too far."
"#euphoria has gone too far WTF," one user wrote. Another added, "the oversexuality of Cassie is ruining Euphoria for me."
Cassie also embarked on a press tour after skyrocketing to fame thanks to her OnlyFans career. In one clip, Cassie appears as a guest on Trisha Paytas’ online show, where she leans into her views on modern political discourse.
"If a man today were to say that he wants a girlfriend who can cook or clean, he might as well be screaming the N-word," Cassie tells Paytas.
An off-camera voice responds, "You sound like a Democrat." Cassie laughs before replying with a derogatory slur: "I’m not r-------."
SYDNEY SWEENEY REFUSES TO BE HOLLYWOOD'S POLITICAL 'PAWN' AMID MAGA BARBIE LABELING
In another clip, Cassie adds, "I just feel like American men have been treated like second-class citizens."
"In the past, men used to be hunters, gatherers, and protectors. Now, they’re being forced to walk around on their tippy toes. It’s not natural," she continues.
Fox News Digital has reached out to HBO for comment.

Later in the episode, Alexa Demie’s character, Maddy Perez, tells Cassie: "You know what’s funny? The angrier these idiots get, the more money you make."
Some social media users speculated that Sweeney was "not acting" in the episode and that her personal political beliefs were being reflected on screen.
Over the past several years, Sweeney has been at the center of politically charged controversies, including her American Eagle campaign and her mother’s "MAGA"-themed birthday party.

"Sydney Sweeney has infuriated the left once again," one user wrote on X.
"Time when actors weren’t acting," another user commented on Instagram. A third added, "To be honest, is Sydney Sweeney acting at this point??"
Others pushed back, noting that Sweeney is portraying a fictional character and that her lines should not be conflated with her real-life views.
"So we’re mad about the political views of fictional characters now?" one user wrote. "Libs will be angry about a fake TV show character," another added.
Stacey Abrams hit with subpoena in alleged campaign finance violations saga: 'No one is above the law'
FIRST ON FOX: The Georgia Senate is ramping up its investigation into alleged campaign finance violations tied to Stacey Abrams’ voter outreach group, with a top lawmaker vowing to "follow the facts wherever they lead" as subpoenas have been issued to Abrams and other key figures.
The Senate Special Committee on Investigations announced Monday that Abrams, along with New Georgia Project leaders Lauren Groh-Wargo and Nsé Ufot, must appear before lawmakers at the State Capitol at 10 a.m. on Friday.
"This committee has a responsibility to follow the facts wherever they lead," said Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal, the committee’s vice chairman. "Georgia law requires transparency and accountability in our elections."
The subpoenas stem from findings by the Georgia State Ethics Commission that the New Georgia Project and its affiliated Action Fund violated campaign finance laws during the 2018 election cycle.
STACEY ABRAMS-FOUNDED VOTER ACTIVIST GROUP HIT WITH MASS LAYOFFS AFTER RECORD-BREAKING ETHICS FINE
The groups admitted to 16 violations earlier this year and agreed to pay a $300,000 fine, the largest campaign finance penalty in Georgia history.
New Georgia Project shut down and dissolved in 2025 following mounting financial and legal troubles.
The Republican lawmakers explain in the press release that the goal of the probe is to figure out who was involved in the decision-making behind the violations, along with specifics on how the funds were managed and who was aware of the activity.
WHITE HOUSE UNLEASHES ON STACEY ABRAMS IN LATEST CLASH OVER TRUMP’S ELECTION ORDER
"The people of Georgia deserve to know who was involved, what decisions were made and how millions of dollars flowed through organizations that admitted to violating our campaign finance laws," Dolezal said.
Georgia's Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said in the release, "No one is above the law in Georgia."
He added: "When organizations secretly spend millions to influence elections while evading disclosure requirements, it undermines confidence in our democratic process. The Senate will continue pursuing the truth and ensuring accountability, regardless of political party or influence."
The lawmakers say that additional hearings and witness testimony are expected in the coming weeks.
"Today, the Georgia State Senate delivered a subpoena for me to testify in a partisan, performative hearing designed to intimidate and disarm voting rights advocates across Georgia and the nation," Abrams wrote in a response to the subpoena posted on X. "Despite the hollow, cynical intent, I will indeed do so on a mutually agreeable date."
"It is not lost on me that I am being summoned days after the U.S. Supreme Court gutted protections for minority voting power and after I testified against the unconscionable voter suppression process unfolding across several Southern states."
Abrams, the two-time Democratic gubernatorial nominee in battleground Georgia, ruled out another run for governor earlier this year, saying that instead she'll focus on her work fighting what she warns is the nation's move toward authoritarianism under President Trump.
