1/ The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights just released its report on campus antisemitism and Title VI. I testified at the hearing. The report is unanimous, bipartisan, & debunks the main legal theories behind recent attacks on universities for allegedly tolerating antisemitism. 🧵

Instead of spending nearly $270 BILLION on mass deportations ($2,358 PER taxpayer), we could fund: Medicaid for 12 million people. Healthcare for 5 million veterans. Free early education for 6.7 million children. Money for cruelty vs. money for community.
