Yes. Imagine if Harvard said “We’ll keep our Boston campus, but because Trump Republicans want to make it impossible to have free thought in America, we are exploring a new campus in Toronto.” It would be a power move that would put MAGA on their heels.

Yes--Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

The bill they passed did not include no tax on tips or no tax on overtime. It did include a multi-trillion windfall for billionaires. They’re just straight up lying to you and hoping you don’t notice.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

These numbers are insane — 54 percent of Americans see a constitutional crisis. 19 percent are unsure. Only 27 percent disagree. 🤯 Look, folks, if you hang out on Xitter you’ll think the world loves Elon Musk. The real people in our country are very worried.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
