  • As Trump targets federal law enforcement, will the justice system ever be the same?


    It is a phrase commonly attributed to Oscar Raimundo Benavides, Peru’s fascist dictator in the 1930s: “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.” The Peruvian general, who first rose to power by way of a coup, used the phrase to summarize a straightforward authoritarian concept: Those aligned with the strongman who consolidated power can expect generous benefits; those opposed should expect to become targets of the state.

    In 2025, it’s a maxim with renewed significance in the United States.

    In the first week of Donald Trump’s second term as president, the Republican made his priorities clear by issuing sweeping pardons to Jan. 6 criminals, including violent felons who were in prison for assaulting police. In the president’s second week, Trump turned his attention from law-breakers to law-enforcers: As my MSNBC colleague Clarissa-Jan Lim reported, the White House fired multiple top FBI officials and federal prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases as part of a stunning Friday night news dump.

    Citing Trump’s sweeping pardon for Jan. 6 defendants, a letter firing multiple federal prosecutors stated that their role in the Jan. 6 prosecutions was the reason for their dismissal, NBC News reported. One of the fired prosecutors, a former assistant U.S. attorney who handled some of the Jan. 6 criminal cases, told Politico that 25 to 30 of his colleagues were fired and others were moved to different offices.

    The purge within federal law enforcement is very likely to intensify: Politico reported over the weekend, “Thousands of FBI agents and employees are being asked by Justice Department leadership to fill out a 12-question survey detailing their roles in investigations stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.”

    The purge, in other words, appears likely to get even worse.

    None of the FBI officials who’ve been fired — or those being considered for possible firings — have been credibly accused of wrongdoing. On the contrary, they did their jobs, did them well, and participated in the largest federal law enforcement effort in the history of the bureau, holding criminals responsible for an insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Trump, the convicted felon who once vowed to make the Jan. 6 rioters “pay” for their crimes, has now decided not only to shield the criminals from accountability, but also to punish those who enforced the laws of his own country.

    It’s the latest in a series of dizzying developments related to Trump, his revenge tour, his White House team, and federal law enforcement. Indeed, over the last week, Americans have seen a series of related developments:

    All of this, of course, followed a series of pardons for criminals politically aligned with the White House, which came on the heels of earlier pardons for seven former GOP lawmakers convicted in corruption cases.

    Taken individually, the disparate stories are scary and infuriating in equal measure. But taken together, an even more unsettling image comes into view:

    They’re not disparate stories. They’re the same story.

    For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.

    Some of the White House’s partisan allies might be tempted to argue that this is a continuation of recent corruption. Those claims will be wrong: The Biden administration successfully prosecuted an incumbent Democratic senator, criminally indicted an incumbent Democratic congressman, searched the home of an incumbent Democratic mayor, launched an investigation targeting an incumbent Democratic congresswoman, and criminally indicted the incumbent Democratic mayor of the nation’s largest city.

    Team Trump’s campaign to kneecap the rule of law, in contrast has been fast, thorough and systematic.

    Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement, “If allowed to proceed, Trump’s purge of our federal law enforcement workforce will expose America to authoritarianism and dictatorship.”

    The New York Times’ David French added, “There’s a very real question as to whether federal law will apply to Trump’s allies at all during Trump’s term. The atmosphere of impunity may be like nothing we’ve seen in our lifetimes.”

    It’s a critically important detail. The underlying message of Team Trump’s latest campaign against federal law enforcement is that Justice Department officials and the FBI need to exercise caution: If they try to hold Trump or his allies accountable for suspected crimes, the only people who’ll be punished are those who try to enforce the law.

    Similarly, Republicans aligned with the White House are receiving a related message: They can do as they please, without regard for legal limits, knowing that the president has created an accountability-free-zone for himself and those who agree to follow him.

    The result is a crisis unlikely any in modern American history. As Rachel explained during Friday’s show, in reference to the president and his team, “They are not trying to get rid of an investigation. They’re trying to get rid of American law enforcement as we know it. They are trying to get rid of the very idea of an independent, justice-is-blind system that makes America who we are.”

    Rachel added that we’re confronting a dynamic that would represent “an end to the idea that law enforcement pursues justice without regard to favors and preferences dictated by the people in power.”



    As Trump targets federal law enforcement, will the justice system ever be the same?

    In recent months, President Trump has taken aim at federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Department of Justice, accusing them of bias and corruption. This raises concerns about the independence and integrity of the justice system.

    With Trump’s attacks on the credibility of these agencies, there are fears that public trust in the justice system may be eroded. The president’s attempts to undermine the legitimacy of investigations into his administration and allies have raised questions about the impartiality of law enforcement.

    Furthermore, Trump’s interference in high-profile cases, such as the Roger Stone and Michael Flynn prosecutions, have sparked outrage and accusations of political interference. This has led to concerns that the justice system is being manipulated for political gain.

    The implications of Trump’s actions on federal law enforcement are far-reaching and could have lasting effects on the justice system. The independence of law enforcement agencies is crucial for upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice is served fairly.

    As Trump continues to target federal law enforcement, the future of the justice system remains uncertain. It is up to the American people and the legal community to defend the integrity of the justice system and ensure that it remains independent and free from political interference.

  • Target’s DEI decision sparks boycott debate




    Recently, retail giant Target made a controversial decision regarding their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that has sparked a heated debate and calls for boycotts.

    In a statement released by Target, the company announced that they would no longer be requiring employees to participate in DEI training sessions. Instead, Target stated that they would be focusing on fostering a more inclusive workplace through other means, such as employee resource groups and mentorship programs.

    This decision has received mixed reactions from the public, with some praising Target for taking a different approach to DEI and others criticizing the move as a step backwards in promoting diversity and equality in the workplace.

    Supporters of the boycott argue that DEI training is essential in educating employees about systemic racism, unconscious bias, and other important issues that impact marginalized communities. They believe that by eliminating these training sessions, Target is failing to address the root causes of inequality within their organization.

    On the other hand, those in favor of Target’s decision argue that mandatory DEI training can sometimes be ineffective or even counterproductive. They believe that fostering a more inclusive workplace culture through other means, such as employee resource groups and mentorship programs, can be a more impactful approach to promoting diversity and equality.

    As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact Target’s reputation and bottom line. In the meantime, customers and employees alike are left to grapple with the question of whether or not to support the retail giant in light of their controversial DEI decision.

  • As Trump Targets Universities, Schools Plan Their Counteroffensive


    With a now-rescinded White House directive that threw millions of federal dollars for education and research into uncertainty, President Trump and his allies tried to prove they were not bluffing with their campaign threats to target universities.

    But before President Trump even returned to office, many of the nation’s well-known universities were already preparing to fight back.

    While few college presidents are especially eager to spar with Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance in public, schools have been marshaling behind-the-scenes counteroffensives against promises of an onslaught of taxes, funding cuts and regulations.

    Some universities have hired powerhouse Republican lobbying firms. Others are strengthening, or rebuilding, their presences in Washington.

    Many are quietly tweaking their messaging and policies, hoping to deter policymakers who know it can be good politics to attack higher education — even when they themselves are products of the schools they castigate on cable television. Rutgers University, for example, announced last week that it would cancel a conference on diversity, equity and inclusion, a focus of the new administration.

    A spokeswoman for the university said the decision, which prompted criticism, was made after many speakers from a federally funded program withdrew from the conference, citing an executive order that targets the topic.

    “There’s a concern among a lot of campuses,” said Kenneth K. Wong, a professor of education policy at Brown.

    Some efforts to rehabilitate higher education’s reputation were already in the works, a response to attacks leaders in Congress made after campus protests over the war in Gaza. But now university officials are confronting an administration whose leaders have made clear their contempt for some wings of higher education. Mr. Trump has said schools are dominated by “Marxists, maniacs and lunatics,” and Mr. Vance has called them “insane.”

    The ominous saber rattling from Mr. Trump and his allies includes threats to endowments, federal research funding, student financial aid, diversity initiatives and the potential deportation of roughly 400,000 undocumented students enrolled in U.S. schools.

    Several major universities have responded by hiring lobbyists whom Republican leaders might view favorably. Harvard University has turned to a Capitol Hill heavyweight, Ballard Partners, the former firm of both Mr. Trump’s attorney general-designate, Pam Bondi, and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. Columbia University signed up with BGR Government Affairs, which counts Haley Barbour, a former Mississippi governor and Republican National Committee chairman, among its co-founders.

    Duke University, which has an in-house government relations effort, brought in DLA Piper as an adviser. One of the firm’s executives is Richard Burr, a Republican who represented North Carolina (where Duke is located) in the Senate for 18 years.

    The University of Notre Dame recently registered its own lobbyists for the first time since Mr. Trump’s previous term. And Yale University is beginning its own theater of operations in Washington.

    “The university decided to open an office in Washington, D.C. after conducting benchmarking among peer institutions,” Karen Peart, a Yale spokeswoman, wrote in an email, citing upcoming higher education “issues” on Capitol Hill.

    The latest activity in Washington came after some other schools ramped up lobbying efforts.

    As recently as 2022, Washington University in St. Louis paid $50,000 for its lobbying in the capital. The next year, it raised that spending to $250,000. That exploded to $720,000 in 2024, federal records show. A university spokeswoman did not comment.

    Across the country, university officials and their allies said that they were somewhat more prepared for what to expect under Mr. Trump than they were when he first ascended to power in 2017. Eight years later, they said, they had a better sense of Mr. Trump’s approach to the presidency and have also looked for insights into his administration’s ambitions in the “Project 2025” plan, which is closely linked to many of his appointees.

    The administration wasted no time in launching those plans with a flurry of executive orders in its first week. One seeks to ban diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, including those run by contractors that receive federal student aid funding — a category that includes virtually every campus.

    Mr. Trump also ordered federal agencies to compile lists of “nine potential civil compliance investigations” of organizations, including higher-education institutions with endowments over $1 billion.

    In a public conference call on Monday sponsored by DLA Piper, Mr. Burr said that while the rest of the Trump administration’s higher education policy was not yet entirely clear, “we believe that endowments are a target of revenue, potentially, in a tax bill.”

    Few topics are as alarming to the leaders of the country’s wealthiest universities.

    Endowments were largely exempt from taxation for years. But in 2017, during Mr. Trump’s first term, Republicans led a charge to impose a 1.4 percent excise tax on the investment income of large private university endowments. Now there are discussions of raising it to 14 percent, or even 21 percent.

    As a senator, Mr. Vance was a leading proponent of increasing the endowment tax, proposing an increase to 35 percent for endowments of $10 billion or more. Despite his Yale law degree, funded partly by the university, Mr. Vance has previously called for an “attack” on universities.

    “Why is it that we allow these massive hedge funds pretending to be universities to enjoy lower tax rates than most of our citizens, people who are struggling to put food on the table?” he said when he was a senator, adding: “It’s insane. It’s unfair.”

    At least 56 schools were forced to pay the 1.4 percent tax in 2023, totaling more than $380 million, according to an analysis by the National Association of College and University Business Officers. Records show that representatives of major universities were busy presenting their anti-endowment positions on Capitol Hill last year. In the fourth quarter, about 10 top schools, including Stanford and Cornell, lobbied on the tax.

    They have often built their case around what they contend would be lost if universities had to pay more of the government’s bills: money that they use for research and tuition support, particularly for low-income students.

    At Wesleyan University, for example, that amounted to $85 million last year that served 1,500 students, according to Michael S. Roth, Wesleyan’s president.

    “So it’s real money,” Dr. Roth said, adding that a tax increase would make it harder for the university to support students. He added, “It means we will be serving fewer worthy applicants.” Dr. Roth said that Wesleyan would not be hiring outside lobbyists but, instead, would use that money to assist students.

    Mr. Burr also said universities would be affected if the Trump administration targeted funds for research. He noted that the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had both recently issued directives to suspend public communications, research-grant reviews, travel and training for scientists.

    On Monday evening, the administration also issued a sweeping pause on trillions in federal grant funding, which a federal judge blocked about 24 hours later — but only after a day of chaos and tumult for campus leaders.

    Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, which represents more than 1,600 campuses nationwide, called it the “most irresponsible public policy” he had ever witnessed. The organization called for the order’s reversal; the White House backed away from the order on Wednesday.

    The pause had been designed to give the administration time to determine whether grants align with Mr. Trump’s priorities. In the 2023 fiscal year, universities received close to $60 billion in federal funding for research.

    Barbara Snyder, the president of the Association of American Universities, which includes dozens of the most prominent schools in the country, noted that the explosion of anger in Washington toward universities was not necessarily new.

    “It’s more challenging than it was 20 years ago,” she said, but added: “I don’t think this has all been an overnight change.”

    Even as universities muster defenses, no consensus has emerged among them about how best to approach the second iteration of Mr. Trump’s Washington.

    “Our institutions,” Ms. Snyder said, “have their own ways of doing these things.”



    As Trump Targets Universities, Schools Plan Their Counteroffensive

    With President Trump’s recent executive order targeting universities and their funding, schools across the country are gearing up to defend their academic freedom and autonomy. The order, which aims to restrict federal research funding to institutions that do not support free speech on campus, has sparked outrage and concern among educators and students alike.

    In response, schools are planning their counteroffensive, with many vowing to uphold their commitment to free speech and academic inquiry. Some universities have already issued statements reaffirming their dedication to fostering a diverse and inclusive campus environment, while others are exploring legal avenues to challenge the executive order.

    Educators and experts warn that the Trump administration’s actions could have far-reaching implications for higher education, potentially stifling academic freedom and research. They stress the importance of safeguarding the independence of universities and protecting the free exchange of ideas on campus.

    As schools prepare to push back against the administration’s attempts to restrict their autonomy, the battle over academic freedom and free speech on campus is likely to intensify in the coming months. It remains to be seen how universities will navigate these challenges and uphold their core values in the face of political pressure.
