Columbia could be using its $14.8 billion endowment to endure Trump's dictatorship for 2-4 years, resisting for other, less fortunate schools. But no. It's buckling to fascism. Columbia Is Nearing Agreement to Give Trump What He Wants www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Step up, stand up, speak out. This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid. Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

“He has a green card,” an agent apparently said on the phone, confused by the matter. But then after a moment, the agent claimed that the State Department had “revoked that too.”

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Murphy: "The impact is to try to distract Americans from the real story.
