This "immediate cancellation" violates the law. If the Admin thinks Columbia has violated Title VI by being deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, it has to give Columbia a chance for a hearing first, make findings on the record, & wait 30 days.

Elon laid off 15,000 US Tesla employees in April 2024. Most are being replaced by foreign workers with H-1B visas. Now he has a cheaper workforce, can hold a visa over their heads and demand they work harder and longer hours than the original workers gave.

People don't get that Trump's DOJ can harass critics without indicting them. Launching a mere investigation would drain them of resources.
One model is how House GOP investigations have already been used against MAGA enemies. My exchange with Michael Sozen on that:

The IPCC calculates that to stay below 1.5℃ of warming, global greenhouse gas emissions must drop 43% by 2030, 60% by 2035 and reach net-zero by 2050. We’re nowhere near that trajectory — and COP28 didn’t bring us all that much closer to it. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
