#Harvard has twice sued & is awaiting a judge's ruling in a case arguing that the federal government improperly cut $2.2 billion in funding.”

#UCLA would give the #Trump admin $1 billion to get $584 million in frozen research funding back (and be allowed to get future federal funding).

He is using his power to get cold, hard cash from UCLA (cha-ching 💰).
What kind of horrible person does that?

How long until the dictator threatens his own nation with US military weaponry?

Even I can do the math here. UC system should just wash their hands of government grants and even accreditation if necessary. Such certifications mean nothing if the people giving them out are the least capable human beings in a generation. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-08-08/trump-seeking-1-billion-fine-from-ucla-over-antisemitism-allegations

Trump can go F himself. My alma mater: "UCLA says Trump administration has suspended $584 million in grants “If these funds remain suspended, it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation,” Chancellor Julio Frenk said" https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ucla-says-trump-administration-suspended-584-million-grants-rcna223531

America has traded “the world’s policeman” for “the world’s mobster”

“The best deals…”

“That’s a nice country you have there where it hasn’t been turned to rubble by my ally neighbor of yours seeking to annex even more of your sovereign nation. It would be a shame if something were to happen and we could no longer protect you. I’m sure you can find a way to continue to show your loyalty to someone who helps you so much”
