Trump v Harvard
Your move, Harvard.
In the latest escalation, the Trump administration moved to terminate all remaining federal contracts with Harvard, estimated to be worth roughly $100M, effectively severing all ties with the country’s oldest university. Agencies will have until June 6 to make the cancellations; contracts deemed crucial will be moved to other vendors.
It follows President Trump threatening to redirect $3B of grants originally headed to Harvard toward trade schools.
Meanwhile, a battle is also brewing on Capitol Hill over Trump’s “Big Beautiful” tax bill. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says there are enough Republicans concerned over how the bill would increase national debt to force significant changes; House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) had urged Senate Republicans to make as few changes as possible.
Verse to consider whether politicians let you down or deliver the win… “My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass. But you, Lord, are enthroned forever; your fame endures to all generations.”
Psalm 102:11–12 (CSB) (read full passage)
