NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

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.

“Republicans are coming for Medicaid, saying they will only trim ‘waste.’ Don’t fall for it.
These cuts will gut healthcare for seniors, people with disabilities, low-income workers, and rural hospitals — all while they push massive tax breaks for the rich.”
