Conflict with universities
Harvard accused: Allegedly violated the rights of Jews

Harvard has violated the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli students, the Trump administration says it can confirm in a new investigation into the university, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The accusation - the latest move in the conflict between the White House and the top university - could increase the risk that Harvard will lose funding.

In a letter to the university's president, Alan Garber, the presidential cabinet claims that Harvard has acted with indifference to the fact that Jewish students felt threatened on campus. If no changes are made to address this, all federal resources for the university could be withdrawn, the letter states.

Formal announcements of this kind are usually preceded by an agreement between the parties or a lawsuit, writes the Wall Street Journal.

Gender-affirming care may lose funding

The Trump administration is considering withdrawing funding for children's hospitals that offer gender-affirming care to young people, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The agency responsible for healthcare issues has sent letters to nine children's hospitals and requested information about their treatments in an investigation.

One of these hospitals, located in Los Angeles, is now closing its gender-affirming care operations, citing the investigation, even though the letter is not considered a direct threat. Many children's hospitals are completely dependent on financial support.

The head of the agency, Mehmet Oz, says in a statement that President Trump has been very clear that the country will "protect children from alternative and experimental procedures".

Musk rages at Trump again: "The porky pig party"

Elon Musk once again lashes out at former running mate Donald Trump's big budget package. In a post on X, he writes that the budget opens the way for raising the debt ceiling by a “record-high” five trillion dollars.

He writes that it makes it clear that the United States has a one-party system, where he believes the “porkish pig party” is in power.

“It’s time for a new political party that actually cares about its citizens,” he writes.

Musk has been a very clear voice against Trump’s budget proposal, and has previously described it as “porkish.”
