What is astounding here is that the Trump administration doesn't just say, okay, we made an error in deporting this one fellow and here he is back. Minimize the barbarous act and the affront to the rule of law. Nah. The denigration of all legal authority and the rank cruelty are the point. Fascism.

Columbia gives Trump basically all he asks for, fires their president when it seems she may not comply fast enough, and then still gets all its remaining funding frozen. These demands are not good-faith demands about antisemitism. They are efforts to break universities.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

What this clip makes brutally clear is that Schumer, who had the skills to be majority leader, lacks the skills to be minority leader--especially at this moment. "Wait for Trump's polls to drop so we can win" isn't a plan. Neither is "The people have to rise up first." That's a shrug. He's gotta go.
