Trump Sues Harvard, Calls NATO a "Paper Tiger," and Signs 3 Executive Orders — All Before Dinner
Trump sued Harvard over antisemitism, called NATO a "paper tiger" over Iran's Strait of Hormuz, signed a fraud task force EO with Vance, and DOGE dumped 7 years of Medicaid data on the public.
HIGH ALERT
A federal lawsuit against Harvard, a public NATO rebuke over the Strait of Hormuz, three executive orders, a massive DOGE data dump, and active Gaza military planning — this afternoon cycle is running at near-maximum velocity on multiple fronts simultaneously.
Key Developments
You thought yesterday was busy.
Today, the Trump administration filed a federal lawsuit against Harvard University, called NATO a "paper tiger" on Truth Social, signed at least three executive orders — including one creating a new anti-fraud task force led by VP JD Vance — and the Department of Government Efficiency dropped seven years of Medicaid spending data on the public to let Americans search it themselves.
Oh, and **Barron Trump turned 20 years old.**
Let's start where the legal shockwaves hit first.
The Trump administration sued Harvard today, alleging the university "rewarded students who assaulted, harassed, or intimidated their Jewish and Israeli peers," according to USA Today's report on the filing [8].
This is not a routine complaint.
This is the federal government taking the most famous university in the world to court — a direct escalation of the administration's campaign against elite higher education that has already included federal funding freezes, antisemitism investigations, and DEI bans at universities across the country.
