the wsj is reporting that duke is in talks over a settlement with the trump administration

www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

The administration is in talks with several universities, including Cornell, Duke, Northwestern and Brown, the person familiar with the talks said, though it sees striking a deal with Harvard, America’s oldest university, as a key target.

Yes, usually when you give the bully your lunch money that's the last you hear of the bully.

New York Times:

Although the two sides have made progress toward a deal, Harvard is also skeptical of Columbia’s agreement to allow an outside monitor to oversee its sweeping arrangement with the government. Harvard officials have signaled that such a requirement for their own settlement could be a redline as a potential infringement on the university’s academic freedom.

University officials, though, concluded months ago that even if they prevailed in their court fight against the government, a deal could help Harvard to avoid more troubles over the course of Mr. Trump’s term.

Before states banned abortion, one of the gravest outcomes of early miscarriage could easily be avoided: Doctors could offer a dilation and curettage procedure, which quickly empties the uterus and allows it to close, protecting against a life-threatening hemorrhage.

ProPublica @propublica.org · Jul 1

NEW: More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

This is an attack on our constitution and communities. This ruling will empower Trump to illegally ban birthright citizenship while limiting our courts' ability to respond.

The 14th amendment is clear that those born in the U.S. are citizens, and I will explore all routes to combat this ruling.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court limited judges' power on nationwide injunctions, leaving the fate of Trump's birthright citizenship order unclear.

THIS from Cory Booker: "… we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight to the executive."

And to speech.
And to assemble.
And to ask questions
… of the very heads of the very departments over which the senator has fiscal/appropriations authority.
