Trump Administration freezes $2 billion after Harvard refuses to meet demands

By James Lynch | National Review The Trump administration is freezing over $2 billion in federal funds to Harvard University, hours after the Ivy League school indicated it rejected the federal government's demands for various policy reforms intended to restore ideological balance on campus. The multi-agency Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism announced on Monday evening it would freeze Harvard's $2.2 billion in multiyear grants and a $60 million contract. "Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation's most prestigious universities and colleges – that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws," the task force said ...

Hurd, Bacon, Gottheimer, Meeks introduce bill to restore Congress’ constitutional role in trade

By The Fence Post Rep. Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., along with Reps. Don Bacon, R-Neb., Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced bipartisan legislation to return Congress’ constitutionally authorized role in setting and approving U.S. trade policy. H.R.2665, The Trade Review Act of 2025, requires that unilateral tariffs proposed by the executive branch receive congressional authority. This legislation is the companion bill to Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Maria Cantwell’s, D-Wash., legislation, The Trade Review Act of 2025, which mirrors Grassley’s 2019 Section 232 tariff reform efforts as Senate Finance Committee Chairman during the first Trump administration. “As a constitutional conservative, I am proud to co-lead the Trade Review Act of 2025, re...

HB25-1312 and the silencing of parents: What the Rocky Mountain Summit revealed

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice From court-ordered gag rules to the looming threat of custody loss, this isn’t hypothetical — it’s happening now. Colorado families gathered at the Rocky Mountain Summit in early April to share what it means to raise children under a system that increasingly treats concern as abuse. What happened at the Summit Held April 6 in Englewood, the event brought together medical professionals, whistleblowers and families.  Their message was clear: parents are being sidelined by courts, schools and legislation that favors affirm-only practices. And proposed legislation like HB25-1312 may take things further, redefining parental objection as emotional abuse under the law. The Summit marked a milestone for 14-year-old Chl...

Trump administration claims it has no duty to return deported migrant from El Salvador

By Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner The Trump administration says it has no obligation to retrieve a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, despite a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the government to “facilitate” his return. In a court filing Sunday, U.S. officials argued that the high court’s directive regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia simply requires that the Trump administration not block his return should El Salvador elect to send him back, but that it does not require actively securing his release from a Salvadoran prison.

DOGE: Criminal aliens paroled by Biden took in $1.3 Million in taxpayer handouts  

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist While the left goes about its little “Hands Off!” temper-tantrum, their leaders have forced Americans to pick up the tab in government benefits for “paroled” illegal immigrants convicted of crimes — even suspected terrorists.  The Biden administration paid out at least  $1.3 million in Medicaid, student loans, tax refunds, and other federal government benefits and payments to thousands of paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “Under the Biden administration, it was routine for [U.S.] Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” the government fat trimmer said Friday in an X post.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Trump says new tariffs on semiconductor chips coming in ‘very near future’

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire President Donald Trump said Sunday that he would announce new tariffs targeting semiconductors in the next week amid an ongoing trade war with China. While speaking to reporters on board Air Force One, Trump said new tariffs on electronic goods, including semiconductors, were in the pipeline. Semiconductors are used in a wide variety of electronic goods like smartphones and computers. “The tariff will be in place in the not distant future because as you know, like we did with steel, like we did with automobiles, like we did with aluminum, which are now fully on, we’ll be doing that with semiconductors, with chips, and numerous other things. And that will take place in the very near future,” Trump said, adding that the goal was to move semiconductor a...

Joondeph: “Trust me, I’m a doctor” doesn’t mean what it used to

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker “Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience. The assumption is that physicians are knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. At one time, few would have questioned that assumption. In 2013, Rasmussen Reports surveyed American adults and discovered that a significant majority, specifically 81%, trusted their doctor.  Four years later in 2017, that number was even higher, with 93% of patients trusting their regular doctor. A funny thing happened in late 2019 and early 2020. In late 2019, almost no one had ever heard of COVID, coronaviru...

Immigration judge allows Mahmoud Khalil deportation effort to proceed 

By  Lexi Lonas Cochran | The Hill A judge in former Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil’s case ruled against him Friday, finding he is eligible for deportation while giving his legal team a little less than two weeks to respond. Jamee Comans, an immigration judge in Louisiana, found the government’s case is “facially reasonable.” She gave his team until April 23 to file its response. The government had “established by clear and convincing evidence that he is removable,” Comans said, The Associated Press reported. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

Colorado refuses to certify DEI removal order, risks $800M in school funds

By Melanie Asmar | Chalkbeat Colorado Colorado will refuse a demand from the Trump administration to certify that its schools have eliminated what the federal government says are illegal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, state Commissioner of Education Susana Córdova said Thursday. “I am not signing that,” Córdova said. “I am not asking our districts to sign that.” However, Córdova told the State Board of Education she will sign a new assurance that the state is in compliance with Title VI, which bans discrimination on the basis of race, “so that my name, in addition to the department’s previous commissioner who signed our previous assurance, is on file and on record to be able to indicate that we are fully enforcing Title VI.” The U.S. Department of Educatio...
