🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?
Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

Can Trump serve a third term as US president?
Donald Trump says "a lot of people want me to do it" and supporters claim there's a loophole to the two-term constitutional limit.Graeme Baker (BBC News)
Most #pharmaceuticals are made at least in part in foreign nations
#Trump has been saying for weeks that he plans to impose #tariffs specifically on pharmaceuticals….He has said those levies could be 25% or higher. Drugmakers still expect tariffs targeting them to be announced soon.
“The pharmaceutical companies are going to come roaring back, …to our country because if they don’t, they got a big tax to pay,” Trump said Wed.

Good take by @harvard_law profs Nikolas Bowie and Benjamin Eidelson:
bostonglobe.com/2025/04/04/opi…
"#Harvard has suffered real legal setbacks in recent years, including a major [#SCOTUS] loss on affirmative action, and some stakeholders may be leery of another public fight…But a 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now — with the law squarely on its side — is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good. Filing suit would also enhance Harvard’s legal position going forward, as any retaliation by the administration would be an even clearer violation of the First Amendment."

🤬 #SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*
A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

Remember when #Trump told people that they’d get tired of winning once he was in office? If you are a Trump Admin lawyer, it surely doesn’t feel that way. Based on the #litigation tracker compiled by #JustSecurity, the admin…has lost in 36 of 56 cases decided so far in the federal district courts & not yet subject to appellate rulings. It has lost in 10 of 15 cases that have been decided at the next level of review, the federal circuit courts of appeals.
The largest #measles outbreak by far is in West #Texas, where the #disease is spreading quickly in remote, rural areas where the #vaccination rates are low. The outbreak has also spread across the boarder into #NewMexico, but the outbreak there is moving more slowly due to higher vaccination rates.
