In this piece, I endorse Tufts Fletcher School faculty's proposal that universities challenge Trump's speech-based deportations of non-citizen students in court, and explain why this strategy is much better than letting targeted students fend for themselves: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

What the hell is this?! Now all it takes to revoke a person's legally obtained visa is for anyone in the government to arbitrarily decide your exercise of free speech constitutes "creating a ruckus." Then poof: no more visa & the masked security services can abduct you off the street? In America?!!
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Wait, what?
Fox Business interviewed the owner of a Pennsylvania auto dealership who said of Trump's tariffs, "nobody is gonna buy the truck, because it just had $20,000 price increase."

I had the same thought - the ‘not targeting Russia stories’ feel lightly sourced.
Feel like journalists need to be more wary of what sources in DC are telling them anonymously. There is great incentive to discredit media at the moment. Easy for sources to give something on background with the aim of having gov then refute publicly after publishing in order to discredit media.

The President, through the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has frozen American assistance abroad. They are dismantling the US Agency for International Development.

One obvious continuity between Trump and Biden is "this man is too old for the job of the president, and it terrifies me."

Honor Family Market is the best, but the first rule of northwest Michigan is we don’t talk about northwest Michigan lest other people discover it.
Honor Family Market is the only grocery store in the town of Honor, Michigan, and one of a shrinking number of independent grocers left in the U.S. Because the owners are ready to retire, a buyer would face the tight margins of a small business and competition against the giant chains.

RIP Greg Gumbel, whose route to becoming a national sports broadcaster came about because his boss didn't think he was any good, and should be inspiration for all of us.
![SPORTSBRIEFS: Greg Gumbel, long-
time weekend sportscaster at WMAQ-TV
[Channel 5], is being phased out of his
job, a situation that might not sit too
well with his many fans. Mike Leider-
man, 33, is the new weekend sports
voice. Gumbel gets cut back to rare
weekday appearances. Greg's contract
recently expired and hasn't been re-
newed. ... Red Rush and Bill Berg are
the broadcasters for WGN Radio's 25-
game slate of De Paul and Loyola bas-
