The Opposition Rises and More Great News That's Terrible For Trump

Musk and Trump’s constant chaos can be taxing, just like April 15th is every year. So I’m glad to have more good news for you today. I hope it gives you some relief from the madness—even if just for a moment.

Let’s start with the fact that a new Quinnipiac Poll shows Trump’s approval rating has dropped to a record low of 41%. I don’t trust most polls, but I am surprised the number is that high. Still, it’s a good sign Trump’s numbers are sinking.

Harvard University rejected Trump’s unhinged demands to change school policies related to hiring and admissions. In response, Trump froze $2.2 billion in funding, but Harvard didn’t flinch. They doubled down, with their President speaking out publicly against it. This is exactly how every school should respond to these outrageous and unconstitutional threats by Trump.

Fmr. President Barack Obama, who went to Harvard Law School, praised the university for taking a stand, saying: “Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions—rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom ... Let’s hope others follow suit.”
