Our colleges, students, and economy benefit when students from around the world come to Virginia schools. So why is the Trump Administration revoking their visas without explanation? @markwarner.bsky.social and I demand answers about this flagrant violation of free speech and due process.

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.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.

Neither the government nor Mark Zuckerberg could have predicted how technology would progress since Meta purchased Instagram and Whatsapp, or what would've happened if the purchases weren't approved. That makes Meta’s antitrust case one of the most slippery in a tech industry.

In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds — and the votes — of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We can’t wait for our leaders to act. We have to lead.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.
