Lawyers for Harvard and Trump square off in court in Boston
Monday, 21 July 2025 () With more than $2 billion dollars in federal research grants at stake, the two sides will argue before a federal judge as the university pushes back on the administration's demands.
The Trump administration and Harvard University have gone head-to-head in federal court over the government's threats to cut billions from the school's funding. Sky News
Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment. The school warns of massive layoffs, halted hiring, and deep cost-cutting to survive. President Alan Garber calls the changes “disruptive and painful,” as tensions escalate over allegations of antisemitism and political bias. With international students at risk and Harvard’s finances strained, America’s richest university finds itself at the center of a high-stakes political battle.

In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage.

In a wide-ranging, impromptu press interaction, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed multiple topics ahead of America250 celebrations. From teasing a UFC championship fight on White House grounds to confirming ongoing negotiations with Zelensky and expressing deep disappointment with Putin, Trump touched on major national and global developments. He touted record-low border numbers under his administration and pledged streamlined support for American farmers. Trump also hinted at settlements with Harvard and Columbia, took aim at CBS over alleged media manipulation, and confirmed hefty tariffs are set to roll out globally by August 1. Notably, he claimed Iran’s nuclear threat has been “taken out” and more countries may join the Abraham Accords. With high-energy plans for 2026 and bold policy pronouncements, Trump appears poised to reshape public discourse — once again.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on July 7 to meet U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating efforts to end the 20-month-long Gaza war. The meeting will focus on securing a ceasefire, releasing hostages held for nearly two years, and addressing regional tensions with Iran following a recent U.S.-brokered halt to their 12-day air war. Israel is also pushing the U.S. to pressure Qatar to negotiate concessions from Hamas. This marks Netanyahu’s third meeting with Trump since January 2025. #Netanyahu #Trump #WhiteHouseMeeting #GazaWar #MiddleEastPeace #HostageCrisis #Israel #Hamas #IranTensions #Ceasefire #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #MideastConflict #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #TrumpNetanyahuMeeting #GazaCeasefire #MideastDiplomacy #HostageNegotiations #USIsraelRelations #MiddleEastCrisis #IranIsraelConflict #QatarMediation #PeaceNegotiations #ConflictResolution #WarAndPeace

Donald Trump praised Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as “hotter than everybody” while lauding her report challenging long-standing findings on Russia’s 2016 election interference. At a recent gathering, Trump repeated claims that Barack Obama “cheated” in 2016, accusing him of treason and leading a conspiracy to tie Trump to Moscow. Gabbard’s report alleges Obama officials manufactured intelligence to undermine Trump, contradicting multiple past investigations confirming Russian meddling. Trump expressed full support for Gabbard, calling her work “great” and hinting at more revelations ahead.

Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning following the U.S. deployment of B61-12 nuclear bombs to the UK—just 2,800 kilometers from Moscow. The Kremlin accused Washington of provoking nuclear tensions and deliberately escalating global instability. As Trump grows increasingly confrontational over the Ukraine war, Russia says the West is sabotaging strategic dialogue and militarizing Europe. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the suspension of nuclear talks, citing hostile Western policies. With diplomacy breaking down, fears of World War III are rising fast.

A jaw-dropping video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot has triggered a social media uproar. The pair were caught on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in Boston, visibly uncomfortable and shielding their faces.

The viral moment exploded online, with netizens digging into Byron’s personal life—he’s reportedly married with two kids. Questions are also swirling about Cabot, whose LinkedIn bio ironically says she “wins trust with employees at all levels.” Social media users called the incident “the internet’s biggest scandal today.” The billion-dollar tech company has yet to respond, but online detectives and meme-makers are already dissecting every frame of the video.
