Hegseth may have finally fucked up one time too many. They’re looking to replace him now.

If only they could have the same urgency for ousting Kennedy and Oz. They’ve been spouting some serious Mengele bullshit. Called my congressman today.

Edit: and Kennedy is doubling down on his autism crap today. 

Harvard sues Trump administration over funding freeze

Harvard University has sued US Donald Trump’s administration in the latest escalation between the educational institution and the government, which has threatened funding cuts and sought to impose outside political supervision.

“This case involves the Government’s efforts to use the withholding of federal funding as leverage to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard,” the Ivy League university said in a lawsuit that named several other institutions targeted by Trump.

The Harvard Crimson newspaper reported that the university sued the Trump administration in federal court over its multibillion-dollar cuts to research funding. The Trump administration said it planned to cut $1bn in federal grants and contracts from Harvard, on top of an existing $2.2bn cut that was announced last week.

“The tradeoff put to Harvard and other universities is clear: Allow the Government to micromanage your academic institution or jeopardise the institution’s ability to pursue medical breakthroughs, scientific discoveries, and innovative solutions,” Harvard’s lawyers wrote in the filing, according to the student newspaper.

The complaint asked the court to halt and declare unlawful the $2.2bn freeze, as well as any freezes made in connection with “unconstitutional conditions” in the Trump administration’s letters outlining demands to Harvard.

Albanese to Huckabee: ‘Withholding humanitarian aid is a war crime’

The UN’s special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory has hit back at comments by the US ambassador to Israel, in which he called on Hamas to release Israeli captives held in Gaza in exchange for lifting the blockade on Gaza.

In a post on X, Francesa Albanese addressed Mike Huckabee and wrote:

“It is my duty to bring to Your Excellency’s attention Article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Rome Statute, which states that withholding humanitarian aid is a war crime.

“This action would further aggravate conditions of life calculated to destroy the Palestinian population of Gaza. No one benefits from this—not the Palestinians, not the Israelis, not the North Americans—none of us.

“Together, we can stop this monstrosity.”

US senator meets detained Palestinian student, calls for his release

Peter Welch, who represents the state of Vermont, has met with Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested earlier this month, upon arriving for an interview for his citizenship interview.

Mahdawi is being held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St Albans as he fights the Trump administration’s effort to deport him.

Welch published a video of his meeting with Mahdawi and said: “He should be released so he can become a citizen.”

In the video, Mahdawi says: “He [Trump] is describing being antiwar as anti-Semitic. How could that be possible when most of my partners at Columbia’s campus and beyond are Jews and Israelis.”

He adds, “My hope and my dream is to see this conflict, if one might say, to see an end to the war and end to the killing to see a peaceful resolution between Palestinians and Israelis. How could this be a threat to anybody except the war machine that is feeding this?”

I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today.

US government denies Mahmoud Khalil’s request to attend son’s birth

The Palestinian Columbia University student, who has been detained for more than a month, has missed the birth of his son after the Department of Homeland Security denied his request to be there in person, according to US media reports.

The baby was born in a hospital in New York City early on Monday morning.

His wife, Noor Abdalla, condemned the US government’s actions in a statement.

“I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side,” she said. “Despite our request for ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer.”

“ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.

“I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us,” Abdalla added. “I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.”

Khalil was able to communicate with his wife for some portion of the delivery, The New York Times reported.

The 30-year-old, who is a permanent resident of the US and played a key role in pro-Palestine protests on campus, is being held in the state of Louisiana, about 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometres) away from his home in New York. He was arrested on March 8 and the Trump administration is seeking to deport him, accusing him of supporting Hamas and being a threat to US foreign policy.

Update on Abduction & Jailing of Tufts Student Rümeysa Öztürk

We speak with Mudassar Toppa, part of Öztürk's legal team and a staff attorney at CLEAR, a legal nonprofit and clinic at CUNY School of Law. "In this case, the government was clear it was intending to abduct Ms. Öztürk. They didn't want her to know that her visa was revoked, and four days later, they did exactly what they planned and abducted her in broad daylight," says Toppa.

Wonder if the stock market scared him.

Well. The USA is having a trade war with 176 nations.

China? It is only having a trade war with 1 and shoring up support with every other nation on Earth.

I don't know what Trump expected, but this is exactly what was going to happen, the USA will lose support from it's allies and strengthen it's rivals.

What Trump expected?

That everybody would come crawling on their knees to him and agree to everything and anything he wants from them, and did an epic Pikachu face when he met even just an inch of resistance. Since then, he's flip-flopping like no other, trying to be hard on other countries for his MAGA supporters and being a shoe-kisser to everybody who threatens him because he has no spine and a very thin skin, and because the crashing stock market affects the bottom line of him and his cronies, and they can't have that billionaires getting any less rich...

This is fucking disgusting (I embedded it in case anyone missed it). Autism isn't a fucking disease, it doesn't need a registry, it's straight up some Nazi playbook shit. Honestly anyone who suspects they have autism in America might want to hold off on getting an official diagnoses at this point, these Nazi fucks will be adding you to a list.

Actually is that the play here aside from the fascism? Are they attempting to scare people into not getting official autism diagnoses so that they can then claim "HEY LOOK, TRUMP MAGICKED AWAY AUTISM. HE DECREASED AUTISM NUMBERS. IT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE!" sounds plausible to me considering how fucking stupid this administration is.

Also yeah I agree that this fascism shit they're doing is far more important than tariffs or stocks but the sad thing is, it looks like there's about 30% of voting Americans at least who don't give a fuck about any amount of fascism that Trump performs and will only care when the situation directly affects them, thus the economy needs to go to shit and they need to suffer.

Donald the Bitch backing down again, also backed down on his threat to fire Powell.

Donald Trump says he has ‘no intention’ of firing Jay Powell
