Another great paper from a great candidate @carlosbolivar03.bsky.social

His paper is super relevant in today’s times where trade policy uncertainty, tariffs and near shoring are affecting the decisions of firms and consumers all over the world.

Carlos is also a great economist!

A president openly declaring war to his political opponents 🚨‼️
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Every university’s legal department should join Harvard to win this case!

It should be everyone against censorship and intimidation!

They are “protecting students” by not allowing them to enroll…

Very stupid policy, to say the least…
Noem on Harvard: "27 percent of their students are foreign students and they will have to find some other university to go to."

🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.
Trump just revoked the ability for foreign students to enroll at Harvard. Every foreign student, which is in the thousands, enrolled for next year at Harvard will not be able to continue studying if this isn't challenged in court.

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy.

This is completely outrageous!

All universities must fight this, together!!

I just finished meeting with one of our amazing international students who is graduating and was reflecting on their experience here. And then open this.

What a horrible, horrendous thing to do—I hope it can be stopped quickly.
