Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.

Penn, USC join growing list of universities declining Trump’s federal funding deal The White House says schools that want the support offered in the compact should implement the “reforms” outlined.

Bullies and dictators thrive on appeasement.

Send jokes. Or, if you're like my university's leadership, a well-timed brand survey

Good to know. I don't tend to read the whole thing because of bandwidth limits—just when someone I trust points me to something.
