Why Harvard Decided to Challenge Donald Trump Universities are accustomed to acquiescing to the government, but Trump made Harvard an offer it couldn’t not refuse.

Universities, which are defined by academic independence yet depend on government support, are extremely vulnerable to government bullying. Harvard’s decision suggests that some, at least, have a limit to how far they’re willing to be pushed.

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

This is illegal: Musk announced in an overnight post on X that he’ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsinβ€”but only to those who voted in the state’s Supreme Court election.

Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin.

Gender Policing in Bathrooms Makes Us All Less Safe. My Experience Is Proof The anti-trans harassment I faced in a bathroom was a reminder of how emboldened people feel to police others’ identities.

"I stopped at a QuikTrip in Texas to use the restroom. As I entered, I heard a voice from one of the stalls call out, β€œHello, I have a question for you.” Then she asked, β€œAre you a woman or a man?”

The question hit me like a slap."

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

They fire hundreds of thousands of Americans, shut down cancer research, meds for HIV positive people around the world, nutrition for starving babies but 400 million for Musks Tesla contract. When Americans got pissed off they removed the word Tesla. But its taxpayers money for Musk’s company
