At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Again, that Musk/DOGE penetrated this deep into the government this quickly is the most damning indictment of supposed American norms and guardrails imaginable. These are fuckin pirates; unelected, unappointed, unqualified marauders. A functional country would have laughed them out of the building.
Scoop: DOGE now controls how grant opportunities get posted across government.

DOGE engineer removed users’ permissions to post to Grants-dot-gov without telling them. Now requests flow thru DOGE-controlled mailbox.

It’s a small point and nobody behind this cares, for obvious reasons, but if what happened at Columbia were a response to something Columbia or anyone specific there did wrong, it would make no sense to treat it as a “prototype” to replicate across a “sector.” Faculty who leaned into this are fools.
Rufo would "like to see that prototype [what's happened at Columbia and elsewhere] industrialized and applied to all of the universities as a sector" and that he would like "to reduce the size of the [higher education] sector itself."

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.

Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings.

Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.
