The goal isn’t just to take down Harvard. It’s to scare every school into silence. To let Trump reshape education into MAGA dogma. This is how tyrants erase the future—one university at a time.

"We're patently *not* under invasion by a 'hybrid criminal state,' despite pockets of violence perpetrated by a handful of foreign gang members. But Trump needs it to be 'true' as a precondition to invoke Revolutionary War-era emergency power to justify summary deportations." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Elon Musk & @elonmusk

The REAL reason so many Democrats are upset about entitlements (social security, medical, etc) fraud investigations is that they are using your taxpayer money as handouts to attract and retain ILLEGAL immigrants. Their future voters.
That's what it's all about.

This Atlantic article, by Shane Harris & Jonathan Lemire, is maddening. We need insider reporting on the powerful sometimes. We don’t need the kind that replicates the anxieties of the powerful about *their* jobs, & their ignorance about a threat Trump & Hegseth have literally declared for a year.

President Donald Trump’s firing of the country’s most senior military officer on Friday night rattled the foundations of the armed forces. It also intensified an already furious game of “who’s next” among senior lawmakers and Washington officials, who have been trading information about the commander in chief’s likely targets.
