I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.

Thank you to these patriotic American public servants for standing up for the rule of law.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Trump won’t release the Epstein files.

His GOP allies stole the healthcare of survivors of human trafficking.

And he just sent ICE agents to seize “buck naked” children and separate them from their parents.

Trump said he would protect our children. He lied.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

Priorities.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

I know who Pete Hegseth is.

He’s the guy constantly doing bench reps in the weight room but thinks agility drills and footwork “is for pussies”

He’s the guy pounding ten different steroid cocktails while ignoring his playbook

He’s a practice squad all-star who wilts every time the lights come on

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

In the minds of the NYT editors, the Charlie Kirk assassination merited six days of saturation above-the-fold coverage. The Mass shootings in Michigan and North Carolina, however, don't even rate a front page above-the-fold passing mention. Clear evidence of well advanced editorial rot.

Even so, I’m surprised how little attention and outrage are being directed at Trump’s incredibly corrupt deal to hand U.S. operations of TikTok to an Abu Dhabi–based investment fund and several pro-Trump billionaires, possibly including Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. This should be a huge story. Democrats should be shouting from every rooftop and using whatever limited tools they have to try to block the deal.

at what point does a government lose all legitimacy

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Trump’s Targeting of Soros Foundations Elicits Fear and Defiance on Left

Trump's targeting of Soros/Open Society could backfire, both sides predict:

Democrats expect OSF has the legal standing &💰to beat any charges & become the Harvard of philanthropy.

Republicans worry that their nonprofits will be investigated the next time Democrats are in the White House.

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

That the administration made this go away should be the end of the administration.

This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “Have you reviewed the docs where the victims name the people?”

PATEL: “No.”

MASSIE: “So how can you tell the senate there are no names?” 🤔

SWALWELL: “If Trump isn’t implicated why not release everything that involves him?”

PATEL: *loses it*

I watched Kimmel's three most recent monologues, convinced I had missed the thing MAGA was outraged about. But it looks like this is it.

It has to be more than this, right? There's just no way this is it.

It would have been great if any of the several extremely wealthy centrist or liberal entrepreneurs who have stepped up to run for office in the last 8 years in response to maga would have instead used their talent and treasure for a media platform like this.
