Elon Musk reportedly wants to leave politics, because he is tired of getting criticized by folks like us. Here’s an idea: stop being absolutely horrible—and start using your money to help America, instead of trying to destroy it.
Trump lackey GOP Rep. Byron Donalds held a town hall, and wow—that was a disaster. He faced constant backlash, as angry constituents shouted or walked out early. At one point, Donalds threw a temper tantrum when asked if he read the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. How embarrassing for him. Good.
In the courts, Harvard sued the Trump administration to stop a freeze on at least $2.2 billion in grants. Harvard’s President Alan Garber said: “We stand for the truth that colleges and universities across the country can ... fulfill their essential role in society without improper government intrusion.”
A judge paused the NYC Deputy Mayor’s executive order allowing ICE to operate out of Rikers Island jail. The lawsuit, filed by the New York City Council, argues that the order is "unlawful, tainted by the conflict of interest,” and part of a “corrupt bargain” with the Trump administration.
