The underlying principle of the Trump presidency is that rules are merely instruments of power with no inherent legitimacy. If Clinton or Obama had done this the GOP would have howled for impeachment, and they'd have been right.

I get @kasie.bsky.social’s outrage, but this is a problem CNN brought on themselves. They gave Scott Jennings a platform. A platform to lie. Jennings is an actor. He’s playing a role. He says things he doesn’t believe. And CNN is paying him to do that. Own it CNN. www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

Authoritarian governments always go after universities first, b/c free inquiry produces critics. Canceling Harvard’s military education programs and dressing it up as “building lethality” is about keeping future officers away from independent centers of thought that might question Trump’s power.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.
