Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.
