The Trump administration has announced significant funding cuts to several elite universities, including over $2.2 billion to Harvard and potential freezes on $1 billion for Cornell, $790 million for Northwestern, and $510 million for Brown.

Human Events: LIBBY EMMONS: No, NYT, fighting against men in women’s sports is not ‘fringe’—it’s women finally having their say
The New York Times published a piece on trans volleyball player Blair Fleming, portraying him as a victim in the culture war while misgendering him. The article highlights Fleming's athletic achievements and transition journey, but critics argue it ignores the impact on women's sports and the voices of women opposing trans inclusion.
The piece claims criticism of trans athletes was limited to the "right-wing fringe," overlooking significant feminist opposition over the years. As public awareness grows, more women are speaking out against the inclusion of trans women in female sports, challenging the narrative presented by the Times.

Forbes: Will Trump Negotiate Tariffs? JD Vance Says President Wants To ‘Rebalance Global Trade’—But No Deals Reached Yet
