Judge Blocks Trump Effort to Stop Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students

A federal judge in Boston said on Thursday morning that she would issue an order blocking the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students.

The ruling was a win, at least temporarily, for the university in its ongoing confrontation with the White House, which has waged an all-out battle to undermine Harvard’s finances and global influence.

Graduates in Harvard Yard lined up to receive their diplomas on Thursday, even as the university’s future was under attack. The Trump administration stepped up its effort to restrict foreign students across higher education late Wednesday with an announcement by the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, that officials would begin to “aggressively revoke” the visas of some Chinese students.

Many undergraduates wore white flowers to the graduation ceremonies to signal solidarity with foreign students, who make up about a quarter of the student body. And unlike last year, when administrators faced boos over their sanctions for pro-Palestinian protesters, President Alan Garber was greeted with a standing ovation after emerging as an unlikely leader of resistance against the White House.

A murmur went through the crowd at Harvard’s commencement ceremony, followed by some sporadic cheers, as students and families began to learn of a federal judge’s decision to block the Trump administration’s effort to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students.

Trump tariffs reinstated by appeals court for now
A federal appeals court on Thursday granted the Trump administration’s request to temporarily pause a lower-court ruling that struck down most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The Trump administration had earlier told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that it would seek “emergency relief” from the Supreme Court as soon as Friday if the tariff ruling was not quickly put on pause.
I love this! I want Trump and his policies (or lack thereof) to be rammed down our throats until the people want to literally tear him limb from limb. Reinstating the tariffs put us right on track to where we need to be and be rid of Trump. I hope this emboldens him to do more corrupt tariffs at bigger rates, lets speed up the crash.

Musk Takes Stephen Miller’s Wife—as Trump Aide Rage Tweets
Elon Musk is officially making his exit from the federal government, and it appears he is taking one of President Donald Trump’s top aides with him.

Katie Miller, a top adviser and spokesperson for the Department of Government Efficiency at the White House is headed out to work for the tech billionaire, according to CNN.

It’s prompted rumors to swirl across the internet that there’s trouble in West Wing paradise.

Miller is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller who on Wednesday fired off a lengthy post on X over Musk criticizing Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
So, word is Stephen Miller, his wife Katie and Elon are a throuple (sp?). Miller sent his wife to keep Elon in hand, maybe even literally, and the rumor is now that she left Stephen for Elon. Lets see how it goes, eh? No way Trump would let a cuck speak for him, especially someone who got cucked by Elon.

Also, I don't like when Elon wins, I don't like that part.
