I have a friend named Eric Redman. He’s a lawyer, climate-change professional, and author (The Dance of Legislation, Bones of Hilo, Death in Hilo). Ric (his friends call him Ric) and his wife have a view out their window of Elliot Bay and the Seattle waterfront.

As I write, President Donald Trump is doing what he loves best, which is to gather the world’s attention as he threatens to break some rule or other. This time he’s preparing to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a.k.a. “Mr. Too Late [to lower interest rates], a major loser,” If only because the world can’t quite believe Trump will do this, he will do it—probably in the next day or two, but certainly well before Powell’s term ends in May 2026.

Harvard President Alan Garber stated Monday that he would not comply with the Trump administration’s outrageous list of demands, which include reporting to the federal government the identities of foreign students “hostile to the American values and institutions inscribed in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence,” a ban on face masks, “reducing the power held by students and untenured faculty,” and sharing “all hiring and related data” with the feds.
