Laurence Tribe: Harvard Will Outlast Vindictive
‘Bully’ Trump
Posted By: Imright, 4/18/2025 9:06:31 AM
Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe claimed Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Harvard University will “outlast” President Donald Trump’s actions against them. Host Jake Tapper said, “How long do you think Harvard can financially afford this standoff with the Trump administration, even with your huge endowment?” Tribe said, “We’re going to stand up for basic principles for the rights of our students, for the rights of research, for the survival of the teaching hospitals as long as it takes. We can outlast this bully. What we have discovered is that he is a combination of ineptitude, vindictiveness, lawlessness and bluster.

Anti-Trumpers are planning a massive, nationwide protest against President Donald Trump as part of actions from the 50501 movement over Easter weekend.
The 50501 movement works under the phrase, “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement” and describes itself as a group fighting to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach.” The organization’s next “day of action” falls on Saturday, April 19 — the day before Easter Sunday. “We are trying to protect our democracy against the rise of authoritarianism under the Trump administration,” Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for the group, said according to the Washington Post. They claim that their group is not partisan in nature,
MSNBC’s Morning Joe proved once again that when it comes to violent crime, especially involving illegal immigrants, their instinct is to deflect, downplay, or dismiss. On Thursday, the panel spent over seven minutes hand-waving away mounting evidence against an alleged MS-13 gangster, more concerned with spinning the narrative than acknowledging the brutal realities tied to the Biden administration’s reckless open-border policies. Rather than confront the serious implications of letting dangerous individuals slip through the cracks, the hosts fell back on tired talking points and partisan gaslighting, showing just how out of touch the liberal media remains on law and order.
President Donald Trump shared a photo of the tattoos on the knuckles of illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an accused MS-13 gang member, wife beater, and human trafficker amid Democrats’ complaining about the man’s deportation to his native El Salvador. “I was elected to take bad people out of the United States,” Trump said. “I must be allowed to do my job.”
“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,'” President Trump quipped in the caption of his post, sharing a photo of himself holding an image of Abrego Garcia’s hand.
The White House practically broke X on Friday with a post showing Hollywood star Vince Vaughn posing for a photo with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
In the now-viral post on X from the White House's official account, Trump is pictured sitting behind the Resolute Desk with the 55-year-old actor standing next to him.“President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office,” the post read. It included a movie-type poster with their names and the title “White House Crashers.”
It was an obvious reference to one of Vaughn’s bigger movie hits, the 2005 romantic comedy “Wedding Crashers” with actor Owen Wilson.

The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been placed under updated restrictions, per a recent decision by U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander in Baltimore.
DOGE’s access is now limited when it comes to Social Security systems that contain personal data on citizens across the nation, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Thursday, noting that Hollander issued a preliminary injunction in the case after issuing a temporary restraining order.The case was brought by several labor unions and retired individuals who claim DOGE has violated privacy laws and its work has resulted in a risk to security.
In her ruling, Hollander said the objective to uncover government waste and fraud
A 13-year-old boy is dead after a school bus full of kids blew a tire and flipped on a South Carolina highway on Thursday, authorities said.
Two other students were injured in the crash, which occurred when a bus carrying middle schoolers home from a field trip had a blowout, careened into a guardrail, and bounced onto its side on an interstate in Lexington County, according to WBTV in Charlotte.
The bus had been carrying around 35 children and three adults. Eleven people were rushed to the hospital and five were in critical condition, the outlet said.
A graduate student who was wounded in the Florida State University shooting Thursday survived the harrowing attack by closing her eyes and “playing dead,” she said Friday.
Madison Askins, 23, was walking with a friend near the student union Thursday morning, when she was shot in the buttocks from behind, she told ABC News.
She fell to the ground and did everything in her power not to move.
“I released all the muscles in my body, closed my eyes and held my breath,” she said. “And I would take short breaths in between when I needed to.”
As Matt and Sarah have touched on this week, New York's Democratic Attorney General may soon find herself in hot legal water. Letitia James famously told voters she'd use her powers to come after Donald Trump, which she then proceeded to do, pursuing a civil case for "fraud" in which the supposedly defrauded victims denied that they were defrauded or victimized. James' office used a legal approach that even the Associated Press admitted had never been applied in the same manner to anyone else, ever (James' fellow anti-Trump partisan Alvin Bragg did something similar on the criminal side in Manhattan, of course). But now,
U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his family were at the Vatican for Good Friday services to celebrate Easter. The convalescing pope did not attend.
Reuters notes Vance, visiting Italy with his family over the Easter weekend, joined a Celebration of the Passion of the Lord mass in St. Peter’s Basilica on the day Christians mark Jesus’ crucifixion. The second family entered the service with more than a dozen Secret Service members just a few moments before the start of the liturgy, the National Catholic Reporter set out.
The small town of San Pedro Cutud in the Philippines continued its annual tradition of staging real crucifixions to mark Good Friday, honoring its most prolific participant, carpenter Ruben Enaje, with the bloody ritual for a 36th time.
Enaje, 64 years old, told reporters that he expects this to be his last year nailed to a cross, as he “really can’t do it anymore.” He was one of ten men crucified this year, the highest number in recent memory. Warning – Graphic Images: (Video) Good Friday is the Christian holiday that observes the day Jesus Christ was crucified and killed. It is part of Holy Week,
The press was unexpectedly ushered out of Friday afternoon’s swearing-in of Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
President Trump was speaking when what appeared to be a medical emergency halted the proceedings.
The ceremony began as planned, with President Trump delivering brief remarks alongside Dr. Oz and other officials.
Midway through the event, the press was rushed out of the room.
In video of the incident, it appeared that a young girl may have been suffering a medical emergency.
First Lady Melania Trump sent a message of hope to Americans ahead of Easter and talked about the preparations underway for the upcoming White House Easter Egg Roll. “As families across the nation gather to celebrate Easter, I extend my gratitude to the dedicated East Wing Staff for their tireless effort in preparing the upcoming White House Easter Egg Roll,” Melania wrote in a post on Friday on X ahead of the event on the South Lawn of the White House on April 21.
“This cherished tradition, rooted in history since 1878, brings joy, storytelling, and laughter to America’s children,” she added. “I look forward to watching all of the smiles

A Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador and held in a notoriously violent prison told a U.S. senator that he was traumatized by the experience.

Abrego Garcia said he had been traumatized by his time in CECOT and that he had been taunted by other prisoners.
“He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes,” Van Hollen said.

The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online.
Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.
But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.

New York— An emotional former opinion page editor for The New York Times delivered a tearful apology Thursday to Sarah Palin as he testified about a 2017 editorial that she says damaged her reputation.

Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed on Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the Trump administration was attacking the freedoms of speech, religion and the press.
Co-host Pamala Brown said, “You talk about due process, that brings me to the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen was able to finally get a face to face meeting with him. The administration admitted that he was wrongly deported to El Salvador. Where do you think this goes from here?”
Dingell said, “You know, I don’t know where it goes. I’m glad that the senator was able to see him yesterday.”
The biological mother of accused Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner kidnapped him and fled to Norway amid a bitter custody battle a decade before the deadly shooting, court documents reveal.
Anne-Mari Eriksen took her then-11-year-old son to the Scandinavian nation in March 2015 in violation of the custody agreement she had with Christopher Ikner — after telling the father she was taking him to South Florida for spring break, according to a probable cause affidavit from the Leon County Sheriff’s Office viewed by The Post.
Eriksen and Phoenix Ikner — who at the time went by his birth name, Christian Gunnar Eriksen — both have American and Norwegian citizenship.

“The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power,” Buttigieg wrote, sharing a video detailing his warning to Americans.

Death row inmates granted clemency by former President Joe Biden sued the Trump administration on Wednesday for ordering their incarceration under the most “oppressive conditions” available.
