Sen. Chris Van Hollen: “I applaud Harvard's decision not to give in to bullying from the Trump administration.” He added that, in many cases, what students are doing is protesting the actions of the US & Israeli governments with respect to Gaza—not seeking to undermine US foreign policy.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Thanks, Senator Booker! 15 hours and counting. As I get old, I'm learning that change NEVER seems to come easily, but it is definitely worth standing up for. And change does come eventually.

I don’t care what Donald Trump says about me. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. But one lawyer — or even a thousand lawyers — won’t solve this problem alone. It will take the civic courage of thousands of leaders and millions of voters. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Jen Psaki on #insidepsaki MSNBC tonight very directly opined that Chuck Schumer may be too old to lead Senate Democrats. Not a good look for MSNBC. I can't recall that ever happening before. We're all frustrated, but some are saying that Schumer's action may have been the lesser of two bad choices.

The media. Inspectors general. Prosecutors and FBI agents. Now law firms. Trump is attacking every form of accountability as he to takes control of our gov’t. Every institution—including the media and law firms—must stand up to this bully. Our democracy depends on all of us.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

Remember when Trump said the government spent $8 million to make mice transgender? It was cancer research on "transgenic" mice, meaning genetically modified. What an idiot. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Republican Congressman, stop hiding! If you're hoping to somehow weather the storm and emerge on the other side unscathed, it is not going to happen. It will be too late. Our country will be gone - nothing to come back to. Unfortunately, your time to be brave is today. We're looking for heroes.

It's a mafia shakedown! Of President Zelenskyy but also all of Europe and former allies. Republican Congressmen won't do the right thing because of threats to their lives, but now we all have to fight against tyranny. Keeping our heads down is not an option. Zelenskyy is a role model for our kids
