US halts funds for Cornell, Northwestern universities in latest crackdown
Federal funding exceeding $1 billion for Cornell University and $790 million for Northwestern University has been frozen amid investigations into alleged civil rights violations and failure to protect Jewish students. This action follows increased scrutiny of universities for their handling of pro-Palestinian protests post-October 7, 2023.

The Trump administration's measures aim to enforce compliance with federal mandates regarding campus safety and anti-Semitism. Universities, including Columbia, face significant funding cuts unless they implement policy changes, raising concerns over academic freedom.

George Stephanopoulos described Biden as 'heartbreaking up close' during crucial post-debate interview: book
George Stephanopoulos described his post-debate interview with President Biden as "heartbreaking up close," reflecting on Biden's performance after a challenging debate against Donald Trump. Chris Whipple's book details internal Democratic Party discussions about Biden's viability as a candidate following the debate.

Biden's interview did little to quell concerns about his candidacy, with him appearing "hoarse and semi-coherent." His uncertain responses, including a suggestion he was doing the "goodest job" and doubts about watching his debate, contributed to mounting pressures, leading to his withdrawal from the race shortly after.

Greer: We Can’t Keep Allowing Wall Street To Run The Economy
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer defended the Trump administration's tariff policy during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, asserting the need to abandon the Wall Street-centric approach to trade. Greer emphasized the importance of addressing the $130.7 billion trade deficit and the adverse effects of non-reciprocal trade practices on U.S. manufacturing jobs.

Democrats questioned Greer on the potential economic consequences of the tariffs, including impacts on inflation and job losses. Greer maintained that the administration's focus is on revitalizing Main Street rather than Wall Street, arguing that long-term adjustments are necessary despite short-term pain for American families.
