Holy shit.
This Columbia president was seen as a tool of the wealthy business board that doesnโt care about Columbia academics.
For her to make this video now calling out the Trump administration explicitly is huge. My first reaction is it reflects how far Trump public support has fallen.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.

Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns
Vice President JD Vance has announced that the Trump administration would โtemporarily haltโ some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an agg...

A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.
Add this to the other ICE homicides. This time they released a Burmese blind man in Buffalo in the dead of winter in the middle of nowhere. His corpse was discovered several hours later. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

This isn't just about conflicts of interest and whether or not she'll be profiting in office.
It's about her having a clear record of endorsing faulty products in exchange for compensation. It's about her being completely unworthy of an office that requires public trust.

Sarah Eckhardt Wants to Return the Texas Comptroller to the Bob Bullock Era
The Democratic candidate hopes to bring the statewide accountantโs office back to its rightful roleโindependently enforcing good government.
State Senator Sarah Eckhardt, an Austin Democrat and former Travis County judge, hopes to revive a more Bullockian comptrollership as she vies to become the latest Democratic nominee for the position, which is semi-vacant for the first time in 12 years.
