I don't envy university presidents and deans these days – never did, but even less so now. They have to scramble to sustain operations that cost way above current Trump-hit revenues, and I believe that most of them are honestly agonizing for the good of their insitutions. 1/

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:
Ranking Member Jamie Raskin delivers his opening statement during today’s hearing on how MAGA Republicans want to change how the judicial system works because Trump keeps losing in court.
