These are the Trump Administration’s demands on UCLA, in addition to a 1.2 billion dollar fine, as reported by the LA Times today. I must note again that the Trump Administration’s attempt to use title vi to enforce conservative agenda items is flagrantly illegal.

Fwiw reporters need to seek out Martin Jarmond and Julio Frenk - #UCLA’s AD and Chancellor respectively and put them on the mic.
At this point Foster’s comments are irrelevant. It’s clear he is incompetent and unfit to be the HC.

Funny that you asked. CNN did indeed cover this when Biden did it. The ADL also criticized him.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

It took me 5 hours and 30 minutes to get to Providence from New York due to train equipment and track issues. Meanwhile, high-speed rail in Spain could make the same trip in 70 minutes. I’m done debating whether we should have fast trains in this country, it’s just embarrassing.

Fine, then California should stop sending federal tax money to Trump’s federal government. Let’s see how red states survive once California does that.
(CNN) — The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year.
In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

Everyone made fun of "Somehow, Palpatine returned" but it's become the basis of our political system.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo made it official today, releasing a 17-minute video announcing his run for NYC mayor.
Cuomo has dominated recent polls, but that could change now that other candidates, progressive groups and even the NYPost are aggressively going after his record.

The ex-governor had sucked up all the oxygen in the race before he even joined the field. Now he launches with a major target on his back.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.
If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Straight-up theft by the Trump admin from relief contractors and aid workers, carried out in open mockery of the good faith and credit of the U.S. government.
NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.**
