“Deep State”

The Donald Trump administration is set to order federal agencies to cancel all government contracts with Harvard University worth an estimated $100m, dramatically escalating the president’s assault against America’s most prestigious university.

A planned directive first seen by the New York Times set to circulate to agencies on Tuesday instructs officials to terminate existing deals and seek new suppliers, marking what the White House describes as a total break with Harvard after decades of collaboration.

The order comes by way of the General Service Administration (GSA) and affects contracts across nine federal departments, from health research to executive training programs. Agencies must report back by early June on which agreements they plan to axe, according to the letter.

Harvard is suing the Trump administration after it revoked the university’s ability to enrol international students, escalating a dispute between the White House and one of America’s most prestigious institutions.

In the suit filed in Boston, the university called the administration’s actions a “blatant violation” of the law.

It comes a day after officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said they would be revoking Harvard’s access to student visa programmes.

Paula Kerger, CEO of PBS, wasted no time in condemning President Trump’s May 2 executive order cutting federal funding for the public broadcaster. Defunding her organization, she declared, “threatens our ability to serve the American public with educational programming.” Only days earlier, however, PBS had aired just the kind of ideologically biased documentary that demonstrates why Trump is right to defund the network.

The documentary, Critical Condition: Health in Black America, focuses on a real and important problem: on average, health outcomes for black Americans are worse than those for people of other races. But instead of addressing the real causes of this crisis—namely group differences in diet, exercise, and health literacy—the documentary settles on the false, simplistic narrative peddled by activists that all differences in health outcomes must be caused by racism.

According to The New York Times, Judge Hannah Dugan of Milwaukee County Circuit Court — now famous because she’s become a member in good standing of whatever remains of #TheResistance — was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday for allegedly helping illegal immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, on Thursday.

Hayden was informed of the president’s decision through an email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of presidential personnel.
