Old-Guard Dems Pushing Back

While it’s indisputable that younger and progressive voters are driving the party away from its historic support for Israel, the old-guard Zionist Democrats have made it clear that they will not surrender without a fight.

Trump vs. Harvard

Trump’s administration has been conducting a multi-front war against America’s oldest university, freezing previously approved federal research grants, restricting international student visas, and targeting the school’s tax-exempt status.
