Actions against Harvard flow the Whitehouse - which is being as clear as it possibly can - that Harvard is to be made an example of.

Not kowtowing to the administration lands you on the enemies list. The administration is very clear about that.

US Gov agencies are being reshaped into tools that can deploy revenge on behalf of the administration. The administration is very clear about that.

Other abuses of power:

Trump urges the FCC to punish ‘60 Minutes’ over reports on Greenland and Ukraine https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/media/trump-fcc-60-minutes-cb...

Trump orders DOJ investigation of two first-term administration aides who criticized him https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/09/donald-trump-retrib...

Ultimately it is going to be Xi Jinping that rescues American democracy. How, you ask? By refusing to give in to Trump. When MAGA voters go to Walmart and find that everyday essentials have doubled in price, Trump will lose their support. When Trump loses MAGA support that's when GOP senators will be emboldened. We need 20 of them to convict and remove Trump from office.

This is what conservatives accused the Obama-era IRS of doing.

If a policy is bad, the whichever party is in power should avoid it.
