Donald Trump has threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from Harvard University because the institution has let antisemitism run rampant on its campus. Did Harvard react by vowing to crack down on hate? No, instead they’re suing the administration for the taxpayer-funded money, which they somehow feel they’re entitled to.

As I’ve asked before, they have a $53 billion endowment—how about they mirror Hillsdale College and refuse federal money? Then they can teach whatever garbage they want.

Instead, they seem to be saying, we should be able to promote whatever woke agenda that we desire, and you should be forced to pay for it:

It looks like we’re in for a long, nasty battle:

Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its “unlawful” multibillion dollar freeze of research funding to the university.

“Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government’s authority,” Harvard President Alan Garber wrote in a post on X.

The move comes just one day after the Trump administration planned to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts to the university, according to the Wall Street Journal, which is in addition to the $2.2 billion freeze that was announced last week.

In response to the lawsuit, a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Harvard’s “gravy train of federal assistance” is coming to an end.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on ABC News over the weekend and openly defied the recently announced strategy of DNC vice chair David Hogg, who is planning to primary members of his own party.

This is the second time in a week that Hogg has been called out by a high level Democrat. Dem strategist James Carville called David Hogg ‘a contemptible little twerp’ during a recent appearance on NewsNation.

The DNC made a huge mistake in appointing Hogg as vice chair. He is an activist. He has zero experience in getting people elected to office.

The New York Post reports:

Dem Jeffries brushes aside DNC big David Hogg’s primary plan, vows to stand by incumbents

Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rejected a Democratic National Committee big’s controversial plan to fund primary challenges against passive party members in safe districts.

Jeffries of New York instead touted his intent to back all House Democratic incumbents across the country in the 2026 cycle and push the party to focus on knocking off Republicans.

“I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most progressive to the most centrist and all points in between,” Jeffries told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about the opposing stance by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg.

Arizona Democratic Party chairman Robert Branscomb II accused his party’s U.S. senators of trying to intimidate and coerce him, prompting sharp rebukes from state and federal officials and pointing to a deep rupture in the state party.

Branscomb alleged in a Saturday morning email to party members that Arizona senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both Democrats, “threatened” and “intimidated” him after he appointed an executive director who is not their preferred choice. According to Branscomb, one of the senators vowed to “no longer support or participate in state party fundraising,” while the other told Branscomb to reverse the decision or “face consequences.”

Within hours, Arizona’s Democratic officials—in a statement sent by party vice chair Aaron Marquez—fired back. The senators—along with Governor Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Attorney General Kris Mayes—said that “the Chair has lost our trust” and slammed Branscomb’s accusation as “the kind of bad-faith response we’ve come to expect from leadership,” according to Arizona’s 12News.

Amid the escalating battle with Harvard University, President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to withdraw another $1 billion in taxpayer-funded federal funding from the prestigious school.

The alleged plan was revealed in a report from the Wall Street Journal

The outlet reported that the $1 billion is related to Harvard’s health research funding, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The latest report comes just days after the White House asked the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the tax-exempt status of the elite Massachusetts Ivy League school.

The order was issued over Harvard’s failure to address anti-Semitism on campus.

In March, the Department of Justice (DOJ) began a “comprehensive review” of the school’s federal contracts and government-funded grants.

Jeffries’s comment comes as Hogg shared he intends to use his organization, Leaders We Deserve, to spend $20 million to fund younger Democratic candidates running against incumbents in safe blue districts.

President Donald Trump and his administration have long been the targets of lawfare motivated by leftists, stretching back to his first term. Although Democrats have played semantic games to categorize these attacks as anything other than politically motivated, one lawmaker finally said the quiet part out loud.

Democratic Rep. Laura Friedman of California told town hall attendees Monday that she and her colleagues regularly gather in closed-door meetings dedicated to plotting legal attacks against Trump and his administration.

While this practice has become commonplace within the Democratic Party, congressional Republicans are doing what they can to put a stop to it.

“Every single week we have a litigation working group where a large group of us, and I’m talking there’s maybe 75 members of the House, sit down every single week with the [attorneys general] to talk about legal strategy,” Friedman said. “This is all going on every single week behind the scenes. It is nonstop.”

Friedman quickly diluted the severity of her admission by mentioning additional and more common avenues politicians use to attack each other.

“It is nonstop introduction of bills and legislation, nonstop being on social media as much as we can without being throttled, without the, you know, crazy analytics, and doing all these things,” Friedman said.

Resisting police is a violent crime. It has always been a violent crime.

I know some of you may think that the police are disagreeable folk, but be forewarned that no matter what you think of them, there is no such thing as “nonviolent” resistance to arrest. If you are under that misapprehension, I can assure you, no matter what your political persuasion, that you’ll be relieved of those misapprehensions in a right hurry.

You would think this would be common sense. Even if police sometimes use excessive force to subdue a subject, the fact that they have to use force on someone who’s resisting arrest should be a non-issue. That’s especially true when law enforcement officers are subduing someone who’s acting in a threatening way toward a public official who’s a known target.

I say these things not because they’re controversial, but because they shouldn’t be. On Wednesday night, those hanging around social media got a first-hand demonstration of why some people leave their common sense at the door when they don’t like someone.

Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro angrily called for an end to rising political violence just hours after a man broke into the governor’s mansion and set it on fire, forcing Shapiro and his family to flee into the night.

It was the latest in a string of partisan political attacks in the United States.

“This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society. And I don’t give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other,” Shapiro said. “It has to stop.”

While police have not said what might have motivated the attack early Sunday, court documents say the suspect admitted he hated Shapiro and was plotting to beat him with a hammer.

“The attacker basically wasn’t a fan of anybody,” President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday. “And certainly, a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.”

The federal government says it’s freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University, after the institution said Monday it won’t comply with the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus.

In a letter to Harvard Friday, the administration called for broad government and leadership reforms, “merit-based” admissions and hiring policies, and an audit of the study body, faculty and leadership on their views about diversity.

The demands, which are an update from an earlier letter, also call for a ban on face masks — a measure that appears to target pro-Palestinian protesters — and pressure the university to stop recognizing or funding “any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.”

Wagner allegedly vandalized the Tesla dealership in February with various phrases, including “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” and “Die Tesla Nazi,” along with swastikas, according to court filings. He also allegedly started a fire affecting two Tesla vehicles, significantly damaging one of them.

The most critical issue facing America is an illegal alien gang member being sent back to El Salvador.

I’m sure you, an American, can think of at least five things more important, up to and including it being WrestleMania week. What most likely happened is that a progressive NGO funded by progressive billionaires settled on the gang member to be what progressives have to care about this week, and CNN said, “Sure, we have no self-respect.”

It’s not surprising that CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, when allowed to speak for some reason, would ask about the Democrat talking point du jour. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien under a deportation order who had been staying in Maryland. He was removed and sent back to El Salvador. Democrats and CNN want him brought back to America. Collins asked Trump why he is being so mean.

Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi, and Stephen Miller all took turns responding. They ran out of time for JD Vance to have his turn, so he shared his thoughts on Twitter.

Yet during that same time period, these networks spared barely any time at all to cover some of the positive economic news, such as the declining Consumer Price Index and a stronger-than-expected jobs report.

MRC analysts looked at all coverage of tariffs on ABC, CBS, and NBC’s flagship morning and evening news shows, from April 2 through April 11. During that time, these networks aired a jaw-dropping seven hours and two minutes of reporting about the Trump administration’s trade war, and all three surpassing two hours each. ABC led the pack with 148 minutes, followed by NBC with 144 minutes and CBS with 130 minutes dedicated to the topic.

Donald Trump is once again going to war with fake news as he continues to press legal actions against one of the most infamously biased mainstream media networks.

Trump, who originally sued CBS and its parent company Paramount last fall over a highly and deceptively edited Kamala Harris interview, which may have violated consumer protection law, is once again squaring up against CBS News, otherwise known as the Commie Broadcasting Service. Trump bashed CBS’s “60 Minutes” for segments critiquing his actions regarding Greenland and Ukraine. He slammed CBS as “a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be [held] responsible.”

The new “60 Minutes” segment featured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who, instead of trying to make peace for the sake of his people, is apparently trying to resurrect the Russian influence hoax about Trump and his allies and demanding that Trump side with him explicitly, as Joe Biden did, instead of neutrally working to broker a deal between Ukraine and Russia.

Council on American-Islamic Relations calls charges an ‘attack on free speech’

A dozen pro-Hamas student activists who broke into and occupied the Stanford University president’s office last year officially have been charged with two felony counts.

The charges include vandalism and “felony conspiracy to trespass,” according to The Stanford Daily.

The Los Angeles Times reports the charges “appear to represent the most serious prosecution en masse to date in California of those arrested during demonstrations and encampments that roiled campuses last spring.”

During the takeover, activists had “barricaded doors with bike locks, chains, ladders and chairs,” “covered security cameras with tin foil,” broken windows and furniture, and scattered fake blood (pictured), all which caused approximately a quarter million dollars worth of damage.

According to law enforcement’s Statement of Facts on the case, activists’ cell phone data showed “detailed communication about the planning and commission of the occupation and vandalism.”

The law is meant to reduce mass shooting casualties. “Gun-control groups hail the measure as a bold step toward reducing the death toll in mass shootings because attackers won’t be able to easily reload when they run out of bullets,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

“I really think this will make Colorado safer,” Polis said before signing the bill at the state Capitol.

There couldn’t possibly be a clearer example of media perfidy and dishonesty: back in May 2017, the Washington Post published a story about how President Trump supposedly urged Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats and National Security Agency Director Adm. Michael S. Rogers to deny that there was any evidence that he had colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. There was just one catch: the story was false, and Rogers said as much to the FBI as far back as June 2017. Yet not only did the Post not take the story down; it’s still up, eight years later and long after the Russian Collusion hoax has been definitively debunked.

The story was one of many in the Post about Trump’s much-publicized collusion with Russia that won the Post the Pulitzer Prize. And apparently that was all that mattered. Truth? Accuracy? Integrity? Come on, man!

The story, along with the rest about the alleged Russian Collusion, sold papers, and made the WaPo seem as if it was once again on the cutting edge of investigative journalism. The Post was even fearlessly taking on a president of the United States, recalling the heady days of Watergate when Woodward and Bernstein bearded the wily Tricky Dick, became Redford and Hoffman, and made the Post into one of the leading newspapers in the left’s constellation of propaganda organs.

The opportunity to relive the glory days was apparently too much for the Post, and overrode all other considerations. As Matt Margolis noted Sunday, “it’s unclear whether the Post knew Rogers disputed their report before publishing it, but Rogers made it clear to investigators shortly afterward that the story was false.”

NPR routinely demonstrates wokeness with an anti-Israel bias. Saturday’s All Things Considered story by youth-politics reporter Elena Moore from the frontlines of the Israel-Hamas campus wars. She lamented how students are afraid of expressing pro-Hamas sympathies on progressive college campuses: “For some students who protested war in Gaza, fear and silence is a new campus reality.”

This, after NPR either ignoring or “both-siding” threats to Jewish students from those same now-suddenly terrified “pro-Palestinian” campus activists, since Hamas attacked Israeli civilians in October 2023.

Moore focused on the pseudonymous “Sam.” NPR loves playing up how dystopian America is right now by granting anonymity to all kinds of radicals. If you named “Sam,” one might be able to find her chanting pro-Hamas slogans or pro-Hamas signs about ending Israel or cheering October 7. Moore isn’t focusing on how much free speech there is in Gaza — where anti-Hamas protesters can end up dead.

Last spring, Cornell University was home to a student encampment, where dozens slept in tents on the quad to protest Israel’s war in Gaza. The demonstration lasted more than two weeks.

“It’s actually one of my most beautiful memories in Ithaca,” said a Ph.D. candidate at the school currently studying on a visa. She asked to be identified by the nickname Sam due to concerns over how she could be treated by immigration authorities if targeted for deportation.

Prof believes universities are ‘independent’ and ‘beacons of academic integrity and free speech’

The latest authoritarian hyperbole out of academia comes from an Arizona State University “teaching and learning innovation” professor and dean.

In the former, Silova says universities “adapted” to the Nazis’ takeover of government, and once Hitler had control he “moved swiftly to purge academic institutions of Jews and political opponents” through such means as the “Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service.”

If anyone isn’t sure whether Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is thwarting efforts to clean up Nevada’s dirty voter rolls, his new bill, AB 534, removes all doubt.

There are two ways for citizens to challenge the eligibility of a voter who has moved from the residence where they are registered to vote — known as “Section 535” and “Section 547.”

Last year, our group, the Pigpen Project, filed thousands of challenges using both sections. In response, Aguilar’s office claimed challenges like ours lacked “personal knowledge” that the voter had moved.

If the post office’s National Change of Address (NCOA) database shows that a voter has permanently moved, Aguilar has declared that such information gleaned from this official government database doesn’t equate to “personal knowledge.” But “personal knowledge” is not defined in the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), only in the secretary of state’s implementing regulations. It’s only his opinion. Besides, Section 535 only requires challengers to attest “that he or she has personal knowledge of the facts set forth in the affidavit” (emphasis added).
