JUST IN: Oil prices surge in the wake of US strikes in Iran, with US oil futures jumping 3.6% Sunday to about $76.47 per barrel

As FEC deadlines approach, expect Dems to celebrate breaking fundraising records, driven by small donors. Chasing mega-donors is a trap that undermines their strongest weapon against GOP corruption. My research shows why Dems should reject big money and how they are, in fact, better off without it:

My theory that big money flows towards the absolute worst candidates remains undefeated.

🚨 BREAKING: Court says Trump doesn't have the authority to set tariffs

The U.S. will begin revoking visas for Chinese students, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced today.

Breaking news: The Court of International Trade ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on all imported goods. The president invoked a 1977 law that granted him emergency powers over the economy.

🔴 La Administración de Trump prohíbe a Harvard la admisión de estudiantes extranjeros

They're terminating OPT. Today the nominee to head USCIS stated directly: he will end Optional Practical Training, the single largest channel for high-skill immigrants to work in the US. 6 weeks ago I warned about this & summarized the research on impacts of this drastic action—> @piie.com

This is gonna end with Trump ordering the federal government to buy all of the inventory up isn't it.

Congratulations @juliangerez.com PhD!

Thank you Greyhound!

"What government officials may not do is what they have attempted to do here: namely, attempt to create “a scheme of state censorship effectuated by extralegal sanctions,” premised on an asserted goal of enforcing Title VI." The full brief is a must read.

Today’s Chartbook features 10 Americas: How Geography, Race, and Income Shape U.S. Life Expectancy. The differences in U.S. life expectancy are so large it's as if the population lives in separate Americas instead of one.

Like others I’ve struggled to process the attacks on civil society. I appreciated the chance to talk w @mariaressa.bsky.social, @vickymurillo.bsky.social, & @timfrye.bsky.social about concrete lessons for how civil society can defend itself against these attacks. 1/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVE5...

There are many other great points they raised and I hope you learn from the discussion too! Thank you @columbiaigp.bsky.social for hosting! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVE5...

Safe to say we don’t have theories of advising that explain this. Except for in personalist regimes.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

My working assumption is that the Administration sent Harvard a letter the school *had* to refuse precisely so that it could then publicly parade these additional consequences (more $$, IRS weaponization, foreign student decertification) as leverage over other schools and targets of its extortion.

Stanford speaks out in support of Harvard: "America’s universities are a source of great national strength, creating knowledge and driving innovation and economic growth. This strength has been built on government investment but not government control." news.stanford.edu/stories/2025...

On Monday April 21st, LASA and ILAS will present a discussion on the effect of the second Trump administration's policies on Latin American countries, featuring speakers Juan Cruz, @shannonkoneil.bsky.social, Brian Winter, and @vickymurillo.bsky.social. RSVP via👇🏼 ilas.columbia.edu/events/trump...

This observation from Adam Carlson is one of the most clarifying I've seen about the standing of the White House. The President's approval is down significantly across a variety of metrics but that decline is being significantly muted by relatively strong approval on border/immigration.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Erdogan, during his tenure as Mayor of Istanbul in 1990s famously stated “Democracy is like a train: when we reach our destination, we get off.” More than 2 million people gathered today in Istanbul (despite a 9 day holiday) to show Turkish people’s commitment to democracy.
