Harvard stood up to the bully and the bully is completely flummoxed. Instructive for how to deal with this White House in the future. The idea the illegal demands were sent in error is laughably absurd.

BTW The President of Harvard is a Jewish Woman.

White House admits they sent their list of demands to Harvard by mistake, but are standing by it.

White House admits that they deported Abrego Garcia by mistake, but are standing by it.

White House got mathematical formula wrong for calculating reciprocal tariffs, but stood by it.

Nobody is operating at the level of the Harvard PR team right now.
The timeline: as soon as Harvard rolled out their resistance PR on Monday, the Trump admin knew they blew it. Immediately tried to walk it back. Harvard says no. On Wednesday, they escalated the threats. Still no. Now they’re down to complaining it’s all Harvard‘s fault.

Dictatorship 101.
Control the media, control education.

The El Salvador story is less about Abrego Garcia himself than about the right to due process.
The assault on Harvard is less about the school itself (there are and will be others) but attempted federal control of private universities.
The assault on law firms is less about each firm’s business with the federal government than about frightening firms from taking on cases the administration opposes.
*Each principle – due process, educational freedom and right to representation – has implications for everyone regardless of party affiliation or leaning.

Harold Koh, Yale Law Professor & fmr State Dept Legal Advisor, lays out the legal stakes of Trump’s attacks on universities:
“Where the administration crossed the line with Harvard is: it started to tell them what they could teach, who could be admitted, who could be hired. And that is at the very core of what an organization or a university does. It’s government control. And that’s the kind of thing that happens in authoritarian countries—not in the United States of America.”

@gtconway3d
So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs.

Guess what colleges didn’t accept Barron Trump?
>Harvard.
>Stanford.
>Columbia.
Any college Trump is attacking-are the ones that with all of his money they said “no endowment will let him in.

4/18/25 Harvard University received an emailed letter from the Trump administration last Friday that included a series of demands about hiring,
admissions and curriculum so onerous that school officials decided they had no choice but to take on the White House.
The university announced its intentions on
Monday, setting off a tectonic battle between
one of the country’s most prestigious
universities and a U.S. president. Then, almost
immediately, came a frantic call from a Trump
official.
The April 11 letter from the White House’s task
force on antisemitism, this official told Harvard,
should not have been sent and was “unauthorized,”
two people familiar with the matter said.

TAKE AWAY
If the IRS can revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status, then the IRS can revoke the tax exempt status on evangelicals/religion

THE LETTER

–> Harvard: The letter “was signed by three federal officials, placed on official letterhead, was sent from the email inbox of a senior federal official and was sent on April 11 as promised,” Harvard said in a statement on Friday. “Recipients of such correspondence from the U.S. government — even when it contains sweeping demands that are astonishing in their overreach — do not question its authenticity or seriousness.”

Harvard’s statement continued: The statement added:
“It remains unclear to us exactly what, among the government’s recent words and deeds, were mistakes or what the government actually meant to do and say. But even if the letter was a mistake, the actions the government took this week have real-life consequences” on students and employees and
“the standing of American higher education in the world.”

UNIVERITIES NEED TO STAND UP
F^^^TARD Trump NOW claims they sent the letter (on official letterhead) by mistake, blames Harvard for not realizing it. OH YEAH SURE – IT’S THEIR FAULT.
More universities should follow Harvard’s lead. Someone who ran a fake university shouldn’t be telling @Harvard how to run their school.
Honig: So the white house’s position is it was malpractice by Harvard to not realize that this letter was so outrageous it probably wasn’t true. I think that statement actually just sort of gives away the whole game.

So the administration blames Harvard for taking this letter seriously and challenging the White House. A unique combination of incompetence and malevolence.

HARVARD: “An absolute outright effort by Trump to take over federally what is taught on American campuses.”

BREAKING: Trump Admin acknowledges the letter the administration sent to Harvard that set off battle between university and the President — was sent by mistake. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOL.

“There was no explanation…It was a gut punch”
Dr. Sarah Fortune, a top scientist at Harvard University leading groundbreaking research on tuberculosis describes the moment she found out her years of work was stopped after the Trump administration froze $2.2 billion of federal funds.

@MayaBodnick
As a Jewish student at Harvard, I can tell you first-hand that cutting cancer research doesn’t do anything about antisemitism. It’s clear that antisemitism is a cover for the Trump administration’s dangerous agenda of attacking institutions of learning and critical research.

Trump froze $2.2 billion in Harvard’s funding because they wouldn’t bow to his threats. That’s funding for cancer research, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and more that the President is holding hostage. This is textbook extortion – period. Harvard isn’t caving, and neither will we.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made a statement by wearing a Harvard T-shirt after beating the Grizzlies, standing up for academic freedom amid Trump’s demands targeting the university. ‘They should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say by our government,’ Kerr said.

AMERICA IS BEING LED BY UTTER MORONS
Trump: *says it was wrong for the IRS to investigate religious leaders and his supporters*

Q: “If that was wrong, why are you considering changing the tax status of Harvard?”

Trump: “Because I think Harvard is a disgrace…Tax-exempt status is a privilege…it’s been abused.”
