Looks like I.C.E. is in D.C. for more than just bringing down crime rates.

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges.

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years.
If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity.
If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature.
Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.
