Introduction

Harvard, MIT, and UPenn’s presidents testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce last week, and the controversy over their statements regarding antisemitism on campuses has already led to UPenn president Liz Magill’s ouster. As calls intensify for Claudine Gay (Harvard) and Sally Kornbluth (MIT) to resign, Ravi and Rikki parse through the outrage over the hearings and assess the state of antisemitism on today’s college campuses.

Corporate investors have flooded the housing market in the past couple of years, but a sweeping new bill could halt Wall Street’s push into the single-family housing market. Is this a win for the progressive left, or will it end up harming more low-income families?

Lastly, the Biden administration announced its plan to seize the patents of costly medications from Big Pharma. Ravi and Rikki debate whether this new push to cut high drug prices is a good idea and if the administration has the legal standing to make this happen.
