Turns out Elon Musk’s villainous efforts working for Donald Trump have cost him 25% of his total wealth.

That's one thing to celebrate from the first 100 days.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.

Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.

This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.

This is a recipe for financially ruining U.S. research universities: 1) Vastly and rapidly reduce funding for research and infrastructure; 2) Scare international students, whose tuition helps fund PhD students (as TAs), away. These folks know exactly what they're doing.
