Go Harvard! Yale, where are you?
Coinciding with it's "No" letter Harvard has refashioned its university homepage into essentially an advertisement for the social benefits of university research. This is the current front page.

The end of an era. It is not just the amorality and cravenness of Trump’s banner that “might makes right.” It is also the sheer stupidity of what he is doing and the danger in which he is putting America and the world.
“Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history. Tempers flared, voices were raised & protocol was shredded…As Trump got into a shouting match with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a horrified Europe watched the post-second world war order crumble before its eyes.”
Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
The president said his horrific blowup would make ‘great television’ – the White House has rarely seen anything like this

A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts.
Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Treasury stays silent.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.
