Harvard Plans to Use Trump’s Haste Against Him as It Fights Funding Cut

love when our billionaire overlords make it so that billionaires can evade taxes by firing irs agents and doj investigators and dismiss multimillion-dollar corporate fines levied before the chevron repeal because they're "unconstitutional" but you poor saps, you have to pay up right now
McMahon: "The plan is very simple. We have announced that beginning May 5, you must start to repay your loan. This is not to in any way to try to cause hardship. There are several different payment plans ... but they need to get on it. Because there isn't going to be any loan forgiveness program."

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them

Like many MAGA sagas, Noem's entire story makes no sense. She had family visiting, so she was carrying cash. Why did she have her passport? Why did she need cash to buy her family gifts? How was a Secret Service protectee's bag stolen in a public place?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
