Meanwhile, will DOGE and clueless political appointees at various agencies lead to killing important research which is trying to develop new antibiotics?
How long, I wonder, before they “accidentally” deport an American citizen because that citizen has the wrong political opinions.

I must say, when looking for heroes to finally stand up to this dictatorship, I wasn’t expecting it to be Harvard University.

It looks like the Trump Administration may intentionally deport American citizens (not merely accidentally or ‘accidentally’):
President Trump just said he was open to sending American citizens convicted of violent crimes to President Bukele’s prison in El Salvador. Trump had a similar response when Bukele first offered to jail convicted American criminals in February.[1]

Please someone explain to me why the Trump administration seems to be deliberately working to undermine IT security in the US?
By this stage it seems like the current administration is actually made up of foreign agents trying actively destroy the country. What other explanation can there be for so many of their actions working to the detriment of the US?
This can’t be mere incompetence. Why would one consistently accidentally attempt the worst possible solutions?

Because the programme also helped other countries, and MAGA would happily burn their own house down if it also harmed foreigners?

I not sure I agree with your use of “seems” in this context.

Fight fiercely, Harvard. Fight, fight, fight! Demonstrate to them our skill. Albeit they possess the might, we – ah, we – possess the will.

The likely reason is because CISA dared to oppose Russian attempts to influence US elections.
Trump first, America Second.

I’m going to quote some scriptures because that is something I do:
“…when the wicked rule, the people groan.” — Proverbs 29:2b
“If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.” — Proverbs 29:12
“A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor…” — Proverbs 28:16
To me, that sums up the situation in the White House at present.
Nobody thought that we could have a president worse than 45. (“Like nobody has ever seen before.”) But 47 is far worse.
