Any self-respecting Treasury Secretary would resign rather have the Department be complicit in the weaponization of the IRS against a political adversary of the President. Harvard will endure and it is far, far from perfect, but if this directive is not withdrawn, the

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is how to lead. You go to where the pain and crisis is and you say something and act. We’re facing a dictatorial slide and constitutional crisis. It’s not the moment to just listen to pollsters about the price of eggs and Canadian whiskey.

“We’re talking about an additional 2,300 new infections every single day, there’s no way we can get to the end of Aids if we continue to have that number” - ⁦Angeli Achrekar⁩ on Trump’s cuts to global health and the 35k deaths this has already caused independent.co.uk/news/world/afr…

Pope Francis gave refuge to the poor, the exiled, the vulnerable. He was a true pastor. We mourn his passing and pray for more like him in a world where the cruel are ascendant and empathy is diminished.

We’re in a country where people are being disappeared without records or due process. This is defcon 1 for democracy. I know that some of my friends would rather be campaigning on the price of eggs. But this is the crisis. nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/… via ⁦The New York Times

Harvard’s pushback was the “ripple of hope” we needed that’s now spreading like wildfire. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

This is corrupt. It’s criminal. This is who law firms and universities are racing to appease. There’s so much energy out there on Democratic Party messaging about eggs while Trump is turning the Presidency into the biggest grift in history.

That post from Trump pleading with his bff “Vladimir” to STOP bombing Kyiv because it’s “bad timing” is really quite a monstrous thing 24 hours after he and Rubio issued a plan that encouraged Putin to grab as much territory as he can. The blood in Kyiv is on Trump’s hands.

Marco Rubio in the sunken place. Searing essay by ⁦Howard French⁩ “Rubio is a lost man and a soulless contortionist who stands for no principle other than serving the man who appointed him.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/22/mar…

All eyes on Milwaukee where federal agents have arrested a judge for allegedly helping a defendant evade ICE agents in her courtroom. This might be a dangerous escalation of Trump’s war on our courts. jsonline.com/story/news/bre…

There’s no rhyme or reason to how Trump is wrecking lives and upending institutions. Predictably, after boastful ignorance from people like Karoline Leavitt who always double down on stupid, their policies crash against reality and they have to turn tail. nytimes.com/2025/04/25/us/…

This polling means that the politicians who told us that we shouldn’t be focused on people being disappeared from our streets will now have the courage to put out tweets and press releases about due process.

Quite a stunning turnaround in Canada for the Liberals thanks to the madness of Trump and PM Carney’s aggressive and patriotic pushback. Let’s take this as instructive. Fight this SOB on every front. Give no ground. Voters reward strength. nytimes.com/interactive/20… via @NYTimes

Barely 100 days into this Trump debacle and he’s dumping his National security advisor - but not because he shared classified information on a public platform. Nope, he’s dumping him because the advisor wanted to get tougher on Putin. Trump is a dream for US adversaries.
