As far as know, no complaint alleging a coordination violation has ever resulted in a fine levied by the FEC, much less prosecution.

So its just something that seems like it should be a big deal but gets ignored?

For a variety of reasons, the FEC is not one of our more effective regulatory bodies. Many of them are structural. It has an even number of members, and by statute these end up being half Democrat, half Republican. It takes a majority to take action on a complaint, but one side or the other tends to view any given complaint as a partisan witch hunt these days. They deadlock often.
That leaves the FBI investigating the serious stuff, like bribery, while the stuff that's penny-ante to them falls through the cracks.

The president of Columbia University is in quite the box. Caught between donors demanding she clear the protest yesterday, right-wing politicians like Stefanik who want to claim another head in the culture wars, and a faculty senate censuring her for violating academic freedom.
What a mess. I doubt Bill Clinton could thread this needle, and the man is Teflon.

Maybe it's 1968 all over again. Riots interrupted the 1968 Dem convention in...Chicago. This years Dem convention is again in Chicago. Student unrest on the increase. A hot, humid summer. With a bit of luck we'll have construction workers beating up extremist students once again.
It's strange that two years ago these students were feinting at the sight of someone wearing a poncho as fancy dress. Today they are staring down armed police.
You've answered your own idiocy. Well done.

I think it's all likely to die down once they go home for the summer. It's a smallish minority of students on every campus, and sustaining momentum for protesting the deaths of people halfway around the world is not likely to be as easy as sustaining momentum when it's the kid next door.
The summer news cycle is more likely to be dominated by cases like this one:
Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and Arizona 'fake electors' charged with state crimes
State Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the indictments of Trump aides and allies after an investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

There are a bunch of state-level cases slowly winding their way through the court system. Michigan and Nevada have cases, in addition to the ones in Georgia and Arizona. Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Wisconsin have sat this one out, so far.

Maybe he's already paid for five abortions?
Which would leave him well behind Herschel Walker, I suspect.
A generally sensible letter written by Kingman Brewster, President of Yale. He is also Jordana Brewster's grandfather.
Oh look, DERP STATE, our idiot-troll wants construction workers to beat up students. Don't engage with this clown.
