I'll admit I don't understand how the government could pull a university's grant illegally, unless there was some form of contract between the two parties. If the government issues a grant, it's based on something, or at least should be. I imagine there are some forms of checks and balances insuring that the money is being spent as it was intended, and if not, there should be a way to recover those funds."Trump and MAGA spent years screaming that the Justice Department was being weaponized against them. Turns out that was their plan all along.
Today alone the DOJ filed a new multibillion-dollar lawsuit against Harvard (the second in a month) demanding the school pay back federal grants over antisemitism allegations. A federal judge already ruled last year that the White House illegally pulled Harvard’s funding and called the antisemitism argument a “smokescreen.” What Trump actually wants is control over Harvard’s admissions, hiring, and curriculum. Harvard said no. So now they’re getting sued again."

"The DOJ’s so-called “grand conspiracy” probe subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey. This investigation has now issued more than 130 subpoenas targeting Obama and Biden-era officials. It’s being run by a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Florida, with Judge Aileen Cannon overseeing the grand jury the same judge who went to extraordinary lengths to protect Trump in the classified documents case. A previous attempt to prosecute Comey already failed. John Durham spent years chasing the same conspiracy theory and found nothing. They don’t care. The point isn’t to win in court. The point is to punish.
And Colombian President Gustavo Petro (one of Trump’s loudest critics) is reportedly under criminal investigation by at least two U.S. federal prosecutors’ offices.
This is the DOJ as a weapon. Against universities that won’t submit, officials who investigated Trump, and foreign leaders who won’t fall in line. Every accusation is a confession!"
It's not that they want reimbursement for the grants because they have an issue with the research projects themselves, it's because they want to take a pound of flesh with their trumped up anti-semitism charges because they can. It's sick that this temporary, vengeful administration would seek to do harm to one of our most venerable institutions because of the perception that they are "woke" and won't bend the knee.I'll admit I don't understand how the government could pull a university's grant illegally, unless there was some form of contract between the two parties.

Wasn't Harvard the university that was taking such a large % off the top of the grant for overhead cost?
But the government should not be in a position of controlling any University's admissions, unless the University is violating discrimination or other federal laws. But, I get it, trump doesn't like harvard
I want to thank @POTUS for his leadership in finding a way to pay our TSA officers to end this chaos at our airports. These hours long lines and thousands of Americans missing their flights was caused solely by the Democrats reckless @DHSgov shutdown.
Many of DHS’ frontline workers are still not being paid including @FEMA, @USCG, and @CISAgov.
The Democrats must stop playing political games with our national security, quit punishing our employees, and re-open DHS.
The only reason he did it was because Musk offered to pay their wages. There was no way donnie was going to be upstaged by Musk.With his love affair of Executive Orders why didn't he do this sooner???
"We have to take care of ONE thing, military protection"
not to denigrate these two generals, but there are thousands of army officers with years of exemplary service. In fact, for career officers exemplary service is a norm.Early online scuttlebutt (take it for what it's worth), the firings are because Driscoll and George wouldn't remove a couple of officers from the promotion list because they felt they deserved it due to years of exemplary service (from NYT.) I would assume there's more to it, but this is what's leaking now.
