An official announcement from Homeland Security: 'Today, Homeland Security Secretary Noem ordered DHS to terminate the #Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification.' With a lot of made up BS to hide the real reason: Trump being upset that Harvard won't obey him!

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Yesterday: Sec Rubio claimed the US isn’t “withdrawing from the world”. Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal. As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.
