Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

Judge Dugan’s arrest is outrageous and a fear tactic to our independent judiciary. Trump has always thought he was above the law, but now he’s enabling his goons to push that limit as far as it can go. His reckless deportations and flaunting of the Constitution will fail.

The U.S. House passed a bill last week that would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote - a safeguard, they say, to prevent fraud. But advocates say the bill risks disenfranchising millions of eligible voters. @fayeparks.bsky.social has more. www.wortfm.org/house-republ...

While folks in Peshtigo have been using bottled water, Republican lawmakers have been sitting on $125 million to fight PFAS statewide for over 600 days now.  There's no good reason we can't get these funds out the door. My budget works to do just that. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

I've seen tragic moments in American history. (Shootings of MLK and RFK in 1968.) I've seen infuriating moments. (Bush v Gore 2000. 'Weapons of mass destruction' 2002-2003.) But I can't recall a moment as flat-out stupid as Trump's tariff declaration.
