This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.
Heβs threatening media companies who are critical of him.
Heβs talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.
Heβs signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.
Heβs defying the Supreme Court.
Donβt you see whatβs happening here?
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Letβs hope others follow suit.

"After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president β particularly a Democratic one β to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"
Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.
Today a court blocked co-Presidents Trump and Musk from shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
This fight isn't over. The case will continue in court, and all of us need to keep fighting for the agency that has returned $21 billion to families who were scammed.
All the right's fearmongering over George Soros, and this guy is literally out here buying votes for the world to see.

Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.
The top 7 donors in the 2024 election β all GOP β gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.
It's a gigantic amount of money in total β but it's just pocket change to them.
We must get Big Money out of politics.
No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

This isnβt a tax cut for nurses, firefighters, or teachers. Itβs a plan to take food assistance and health care away from working families to fund massive tax breaks for the ultra-rich.
Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."
The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything Iβve really seen in my time covering politics.

Trumpβs Crypto Summit isnβt about securing Americaβs futureβitβs about lining the pockets of billionaires like Musk and Sacks.
This is a taxpayer-funded bailout waiting to happen.
