Episode notes
Trump Targets Harvard's International Students
- Donald Trump's threat to bar Harvard from enrolling international students is causing chaos and is widely seen as unconstitutional.
- The move is framed as a response to anti-Semitism and protest activities, but primarily abuses power to target the university.
Tariffs Hurt U.S. Consumers
- Trump's proposal for 50% tariffs on EU goods and 25% on Apple products is reckless and likely to increase consumer costs.
- Apple will likely absorb tariffs by raising prices, not by relocating expensive, complex supply chains back to the U.S.
Push For Younger Democratic Leaders
- Elect more younger Democratic candidates to push for younger party leadership.
- Pressure current leaders by calling offices, organizing protests, and supporting primary challenges to break seniority norms.
