Trump is trying to destroy Harvard while allowing Putin to take Ukraine

1 week ago | signorile.com | Michelangelo Signorile

The Trump administration has been relentless—merciless—in its attacks on America’s oldest and most prestigious university, continually stripping Harvard of funding, trying to force it to get in line. The goal is to control the university and its curriculum, make no mistake. And Harvard is fighting back hard, with lawsuits and defiant words from its president, its faculty, and its students.
Weekend Report: What's happening?

As the corporate media has been in overdrive focusing on the mental state of the prior president, they’ve ignored the continued mental decline of the current one. Donald Trump’s repeated lapses and bizarre ramblings are so jarring and indicative of his mental incompetance that the White House has removed the written transcripts from its website. The impact of the Republican budget bill, and its massive debt, rattled the bond markets, and economists fear dire economic consequences.
Conspiracy theories about Biden's prostate cancer were sadly inevitable

When the news of President Biden’s aggressive form of prostate cancer broke, it could have been a teaching moment, an opportunity for the media to educate Americans about prostate cancer and the confusing, conflicting guidelines on PSA screening via an annual blood test. As a prostate cancer survivor who deeply delved into the research three and half years ago when I was diagnosed, I committed myself as a journalist to breaking through the fog and misinformation.

In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court dealt a severe blow to the Trump administration mass deportations, barring it from using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants, saying they were not given due process.
Of all things, the Qatari gift jet is dragging Trump down further

There are so many horrible injustices perpetrated by Donald Trump—from brutal attacks on immigrants to the targeting of law firms and universities—but none of this is registering with the MAGA base in recent days quite like the $400 million jet Trump’s claiming he will accept as a gift from Qatar to replace Air Force One, which may cost almost $1 billion to upgrade.
Scott Bessent, the immoral opportunist who runs Treasury

3 weeks ago | signorile.com | Michelangelo Signorile

Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has been front and center in the Trump administration’s trade wars. His main function has been to puff Trump up, and then carry out Trump’s various cave-ins—most recently his folding to China. Bessent met with Chinese officials over the weekend, and the result was reducing tariffs (though onerous 30% tariffs remain), after Trump said he’d never back down from the 145% tariffs without concessions, which China never offered.

In an extraordinary action, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who is running for New Jersey governor, was arrested at an ICE facility in his city that he and city leaders said the federal government opened without proper permits. Three members of Congress visited the facility—as is their right to visit any ICE facility for oversight at any time—while Baraka was trying to get access as well.
The politics in the election of Pope Leo XIV

With the arrival of Pope Leo XIV, much of the media has emphasized the mystery of the papal conclave, focusing on cryptic rituals, traditions shrouded in secrecy, and deep solemnity—which sells and keeps people riveted—when there are some things that are pretty clear as day regarding the politics of the selection of Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. And even MAGA world sees that, and is in a full-blown meltdown over it.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett shames GOP with"Trump or Trans" game

A quick post as I’m going through audio for my SiriusXM show and just watched this brilliant clip I’ll be playing today. It’s an example of how Democrats need to slice and dice Republicans, courtesy of Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas. Marjorie Taylor Greene led a hearing on “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” yesterday. It did not go well.
Virginia's bonkers gay sex scandal exposes a big MAGA divide

Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia has always positioned himself as straddling between MAGA and a mythical world of normal Republicans. I say “mythical” because there is no world of “normal” or non-MAGA Republicans—just a few stragglers here and there, most of whom are Never Trumpers who are not in elected office.
