“Newsom declared that the state of California will pull funding from any university that caves to Trump’s extortion gambit. This is the right path for Democrats. Where they control levers of power, they should use them to create counterincentives.”

A bittersweet pleasure to stay up late last night thinking about Dr. Jane Goodall for @theatlantic.com. She was truly one of the greats. www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...
