From the looks of this, there are four people on the Russian side of the table (including Putin).
And there are just two on the American side — an interpreter of unknown provenance, and a golf buddy of Trump’s who has no training or experience in high-stakes diplomacy
Texans just having it too damn good. Need to punish them with higher energy prices again, or they might start getting ideas about how things could be better.

If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again
Harvard has become a symbol of defiance for refusing to cave to the administration’s demands.
But on campus, many say the mood is one of frustration and fear.
IMPORTANT READ: (WSJ: free copy) Some Universities banding together in an alliance to fight TRUMP and their idiotic demands. Stay tuned. First hearing for Harvard and their law suit is tomorrow, Monday, April 28.

Trump's attempt to bully Harvard will just make Harvard stronger. It gives them an opportunity to distinguish themselves from the appeasement artists at Columbia, and show their quality.

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.
Bot says what?
No problem with Putin dropping bombs on children in his homeland.

Don’t be next Harvard.
Let’s hope Harvard alumni are also appalled at the apparent cave of their alma mater. #FightBack

The president of Harvard is not.
Good for Princeton and its leadership.
A bad day for Harvard, on many levels.

That Harvard thinks it can placate authoritarianism by betraying its community - and in going along with the conflating of anti-genocide protests with actual antisemitism - is so utterly contemptible. They are the evil Hannah Arendt spoke of. Complicity, legitimization, betrayal.
Harvard has a $52 billion endowment. It can fucking stand up to Trump.
