Why does harvard need my tax money

@vklasbvideos4729 April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

I think harvard should stand strong and not buckle to trump. Trump will keep making demands and he will never be statisfied. Best to pursue your agenda despite the cuts. He’ll lose then.

Harvard has hundreds of millions of dollars. They don't need any tax dollars

@KateLopez-s8b April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Donald Trump, by his actions has amply demonstrated, he's above the law. He's carrying the actions of Jan 6 to his Presidency. He's undeterming the American people and its laws

Trump evidently wants to create his own Academy for Trumpian Law, based on the Academy for German Law (1933-1945).

Is extortion no longer a crime ?

Tax payer money should never go to terrorist sympathizing university like Harvard

@TracyPorter-v6c April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

What the "F" is the US gov giving Harvard 2 $BILLION in grants! For What?! Build a new reduced tuition school for that much?

@JP-nq7wf April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Why should we fund an indoctrination camp? Stop giving our tax money to these Communist institutions!

@Neitherandboth April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

I thought Harvard was a private school

@Chafflives April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Blackmail. The felon’s repeated tool of choice these days.

@75vuong April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Defund Harvard. Stand your ground and don’t take Our tax dollars.

@WORLDGONECRAZY-o9d April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

No Federal funding for you! Sorry not sorry!

@davey5586 April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

These schools will fall in line. TRUMP!!!

@Paul-lm5gv April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Harvard's endowment is the largest in the world – $53.2 billion! So WHY are we giving Harvard ANY taxpayer money at all – which BTW – is all borrowed money adding to the spiraling deficit – and the out-of-control national debt burden on our children and grandchildren!

@KingPhilipF April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

2 billion in funding to educate elites?
No. I don't care the reason.
Harvard does not deserve two billion of our dollars ever without our vote

@DrewGanter April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Anyone who is receiving federal funds should expect there to be some requirements on that funding (that goes for anyone receiving funding at the hands of another organization). If Harvard doesn’t want to comply with any such requirements, then they can tap into their $50+ billion endowment. Given that many of these larger universities are operating more like for-profit corporations (thinking also about the NCAA and all the hubbub about paying players and the name, image, likeness deals, etc.), I might not be entirely against revoking tax-exempt status. They can still maintain academic independence, but do it on your own funds raised. I’d take my Div3 school education and character development over Harvard any day.

@MikeMcCall-ow9jt April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Fake news he has told these schools that if they don’t follow the federal law then this is what happens.

Obviously, some other member of Tom Perez's home handles role of grocery shopping. Unlike, Kamala, the Trump has began importing chickens, which will increase egg production. Democrats made no meaningful suggestions to address the price of eggs, other than claim price gouging, (for Kamala that would be price gauging). Democrat have now assumed the role of professional complainers as opposed to problem solvers. People love problem solvers more so than complainers.

Maybe talk about Sebastian Gorka…..who is a British-Hungarian-American political operative with ties to Hungary’s far-right and has served as a key advisor to Donald Trump. He previously advised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and has promoted nationalist, anti-immigrant, and Islamophobic policies. Gorka became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2012 but lived in Hungary for years and maintains close ideological ties with Orbán's government. He is part of a broader effort to align U.S. right-wing politics with European far-right strategies. Hungarian government-backed think tanks like the Danube Institute and Századvég have partnered with U.S. conservative groups such as the Heritage Foundation to shape policy and political messaging. These efforts influence Trump’s approach to issues like immigration, family policy, and authoritarian governance. Gorka’s presence in Trump’s orbit reflects a dangerous international pipeline of far-right ideas that threaten democratic institutions and normalize authoritarian tactics.

DK🇩🇰 To criticize Israel and its actions is not antisemitism.

@annaanna-l7g April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

Are they really collaborating or just pretending to get along?

@TwoFoxGibbon April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

So the US Government goes after Harvard, and Harvard defends itself, and the muppet king cries foul because Harvard is talking politics and it hurts his feelings.

@harry19000000 April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

It's not political blackmail. It is how criminals work.

@Booyaahh5050 April 25, 2025 - 11:35 pm

What will be going too far for the spineless Republicans in congress? It's time to dump this man for good. His lawlessness knows no bounds.
