The Trump administration’s battle with Columbia was the first of a series of broadsides against elite research universities that depend on federal funds to operate.

Another brilliant decision by the tRump administration. Too bad tRump’s father didn’t use some protection when the his tiny spermm was approaching the poor egg that was to become the Don.

This article is the truth. Thank you Terry Moran for speaking the truth and no thanks to ABC/ Disney for hiding in a self imposed corner. You get the shame award!

Trotting 4 one-ton animals around a human laying on the ground is a recipe for that person beyond seriously injured or dying.

Terry Moran gets screwed by ABC for speaking the truth just like they kissed tRumps ass when they caved to tRump after George Stephanopolis said the truth about tRump being a rapist.

I guess I can cross CBS off my list and stop streaming Paramount + since they are caving in to the tRump autocratic regime. Maybe fashion designers will come up with a “taken the knee to tRump regime” line of pants and shorts.

What a farce.

Do you think anyone has done an analysis of how many lives will be lost as a result of these cuts at HHS, USAID, CDC, etc? All this so tRump and fElon Musk can claim some efficiency improvement. what couple of idiots. What is a life worth? I’d say tRump’s is zero.

Someone is keeping a list of all tRump’s enablers (including Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg) so that they will feel the whole wrath of the country when the tide changes. With tRump’s erratic and totally destructive actions getting more unhinged, there must be some nefarious support.
