Harvard University will receive no new federal grants until it meets a series of demands from President Donald Trump’s administration, the Education Department announced Monday.

The action was laid out in a letter to Harvard’s president and amounts to a major escalation of Trump’s battle with the Ivy League school. Administration previously froze $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard, and Trump is pushing to strip the school of its tax-

Harvard has pushed back on the administration's demands, setting up a closely watched clash in Trump's attempt to force change at universities that he says have become hotbeds of liberalism and antisemitism.

In a press call, an Education Department official said Harvard will receive no new federal grants until it “demonstrates responsible management of the university” and satisfies federal demands on a range of subjects. The ban applies to federal research grants and not to federal financial aid that helps students cover college tuition and

The White House has fired several of former President Joe Biden’s appointees to the board overseeing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum — including former second gentleman Doug Emhoff — and is actively interviewing new candidates, an administration official, granted anonymity to discuss personnel changes.

"Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council,” Emhoff said in a statement. “Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous — and it dishonors the memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis that this museum was created to preserve.”

The board consists of more than 50 presidentially appointed members, who serve for a five-year term, as well as several members from the House, Senate and three federal agencies. The museum is partially funded by the federal government.

Greed is Good will either kill America, Europe and world or keep us alive.
Rick Woldenberg thought he had come up with a sure-fire plan to protect his Chicago-area educational toy company from President Donald Trump’s massive new taxes on Chinese imports.

"When he announced a 20% tariff, I made a plan to survive 40%, and I thought I was being very clever," said Woldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, a third-generation family business that has been manufacturing in China for four decades. "I had worked out that for a very modest price increase, we could withstand 40% tariffs, which was an unthinkable increase in costs."

His worst-case scenario wasn’t worst-case enough. Not even close.
The American president quickly upped the ante with China, raising the levy to 54% to offset what he said were China’s unfair trade practices. Then, enraged when China retaliated with tariffs of its own, he upped the levies to a staggering 145%.

China is filling gaps left by the USAID shutdown in developing countries.
The US pulled billions of dollars out of such countries in programs including health and education.
China's development aid is likely to go toward regions and sectors that align with its interests.

The effective shutdown of the US Agency for International Development has already created openings for China to fill.
China appears to be launching new programs across several developing countries where USAID has left.
In Cambodia, one of the countries most hit by USAID's pullout, China has announced new funding programs for a variety of causes, including child healthcare, nutrition, sanitation, and land mine clearing.

In Nepal, Chinese Communist Party officials have told the country's leaders that Beijing is willing to provide funding.
Tai Wei Lim, a professor at Japan's Soka University, said it's not surprising that China stepped in so fast to fill the US's shoes for specific projects.

A meeting between Russian and US officials on a partial ceasefire in Ukraine ended after 12 hours of negotiations in Saudi Arabia on Monday, Russian state media reported, with a joint statement expected.

With Ukrainian negotiators waiting nearby, a day after they sat down with the US team, the Americans and Russians met in Riyadh with a Black Sea ceasefire top of the agenda.
President Donald Trump is pushing for a rapid end to the three-year war and hopes the latest round of talks will pave the way for a breakthrough.

While the talks took place at a luxury hotel in the Saudi capital, nearly 90 people including 17 children were wounded in a missile attack on Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The attack on a "densely populated residential area" damaged apartments and an educational facility, the regional prosecutor's office said. The city's acting mayor earlier said a hospital had been affected.

The Pentagon is considering making significant cuts to the top of the US military as the Trump administration seeks to shrink the federal government.

The plans under consideration include consolidating combatant commands, possibly eliminating a directorate that oversees development, training and education for the joint force, and halting the expansion of US Forces Japan.

Among the measures being considered are merging European Command and Africa Command into a single command based in Stuttgart, Germany, and combining US Northern and Southern commands into a single AMERICOM command.

President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Education Department, according to a White House official, advancing a campaign promise to eliminate an agency that's been a longtime target of conservatives.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity before an announcement.
Trump has derided the Department of Education as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, finalizing its dismantling is likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979.

A White House fact sheet said the order would direct Secretary Linda McMahon “to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure (of) the Department of Education and return education authority to the States, while continuing to ensure the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.”
The Trump administration has already been gutting the agency. Its workforce is being slashed in half.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for building a strong, modern army to cope with any war during a visit to a military academy.

Kim's trip to the Kang Kon Military Academy comes after North Korea has sent thousands of troops to Russia to support its war against Ukraine. Kim also visited the Kim Il Sung University of Politics, another elite cadre training institution, calling for military loyalty and sacrifice.

South Korea's intelligence agency has said Kim's previous inspections of military units and training might be part of preparations for an additional dispatch of soldiers to Russia.
Kim criticised the school's poor management and operation of educational facilities, saying it failed to meet the ruling party's pursuit of "modernity and advanced character" in building a powerful army.
The present international situation, in which the aggressive and bellicose nature of the imperialists is most openly expressed in history and war and bloodshed become commonplaces.

US President Donald Trump was right to re-establish links with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to set up peace talks to end the war in Ukraine, a senior Labour minister has said.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said there could be "no negotiated peace without Russia" and that Trump's approach had brought "Russians to the table"

The US president has faced a backlash for excluding Ukraine from talks after his aides met Russian officials in Saudi Arabia. Trump suggested Ukraine may be a bystander, saying it has "no cards" in the deal.
Phillipson said that Trump thawing diplomatic ties with Russia and Putin was "the right approach"

"President Trump has brought the Russians to the table," she added.
When asked by Kuenssberg if welcoming Putin back was the right move, Phillipson said, "absolutely".

"There can be no settlement, no negotiated peace, without Russia," she said.
She added "any lasting settlement where it comes to peace does require Ukrainian voices, President

The U.S. government began firing hundreds of people at multiple agencies on Thursday as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their purge of America's federal bureaucracy, union sources and employees familiar with the moves told Reuters.

Termination emails have been sent in the past 48 hours to government workers, mostly recently hired employees still on probation, at the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the General Services Administration, which manages many federal buildings.

It was not immediately clear how many domestic federal workers stood to lose their jobs in the first wave of layoffs. According to government data, about 280,000 civilian government workers were hired less than two years ago with most still on probation, which makes them easier to fire.

Donald Trump hijacked Tulsi Gabbard’s swearing-in ceremony to rant on his plans to “immediately” close the Department of Education and complain about the way American aircraft carriers launch their fighter aircraft.

The president swore in Gabbard at the White House as his Director of National Intelligence on Wednesday.

Speaking in the Oval Office following Gabbard’s confirmation by the Senate earlier in the day, Trump told reporters he was planning to sign an order for unilateral tax increases on Americans in the form of tariffs on imports from countries that have their own tariffs on American imports.

He then proceeded to launch into a winding description of how “billions and billions of dollars” were being “thrown away illegally” through unspecified “fraud” in government expenditures and praised Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” for rooting out the alleged “massive fraud” while complaining about his efforts being stymied by “judges that are activists.”

Voters are voicing their support for the Trump administration’s efforts to clean up wasteful government spending, despite some Democrats protesting the actions.
President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent shock waves nationwide after announcing the Department of Government Efficiency would push to freeze USAID and suggesting the Department of Education could soon be shut down.

Several prominent Democrats, including Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., protested DOGE’s actions outside the Treasury Department. On Friday, 30 House Democrats, including Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., attempted to enter the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C., to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise L. Carter, but they were stopped by security.
Despite the protests, a number of voters are defending the White House.
One voter, Theresa Albano, told "The Story" that Democrats are "panicking" about the cuts, but don’t appear to be "helping themselves at all."

U.S. President Donald Trump says he expects Elon Musk to find billions of dollars of fraud and abuse at the Pentagon during an audit that the billionaire will lead.

"I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. ... Then I'm going to go, go to the military. Let's check the military," Trump said in a Super Bowl interview with Fox News' Brett Baier.
"We're going to find billions, hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud and abuse," Trump said of the largest federal department.
The Pentagon's budget is approaching $1 trillion per year. In December, then-President Joe Biden signed a bill authorizing $895 billion in defense spending for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.
Critics say the efforts are likely illegal, risk exposing classified information and in practice are gutting entire agencies without congressional approval.

The chaotic blitz by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has triggered legal objections across Washington, with officials in at least a half-dozen federal agencies and departments raising alarms about whether the billionaire’s assault on government is breaking the law.

Musk’s team has moved to dismantle some U.S. agencies, push out hundreds of thousands of civil servants and gain access to some of the federal government’s most sensitive payment systems. Musk has said these changes are necessary to overhaul what he’s characterized as a sclerotic federal bureaucracy and to stop payments that he says are bankrupting the country and driving inflation.
But many of these moves appear to violate federal law, according to more than two dozen current and former officials, one audio recording, and several internal messages obtained by Internal legal objections have been raised at the Treasury Department, the Education Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Four days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order freezing almost all U.S. foreign aid, an email landed in Claris Madhuku's inbox in rural Zimbabwe. Stop all activities immediately, it said.
The message confirmed Madhuku's fears that Trump's return to office might affect his organization's efforts to save African girls from child marriages.

Many Africans had known that Trump’s “America First” outlook meant their continent was likely to be last among his priorities. But they hadn't expected the abrupt halt to foreign aid from the world's largest donor that stops money flowing for wide-ranging projects like disease response, girls' education and free school lunches.

Even after global outrage prompted some exemptions to Trump's order, sub-Saharan Africa could suffer more than any other region as most global aid pauses 90 days for a spending review. The U.S. gave the region more than $6.5 billion in humanitarian assistance last year.

DeepSeek's AI Would Like to Assure You That China Is Not Committing Any Human Rights Abuses Whatsoever Against Its Repressed Uyghur Population.
China's DeepSeek, which threw Silicon Valley into chaos this week, makes no qualms about sending all of your sensitive data straight to the Chinese government.

It's also no secret that the hedge fund-owned startup is closely abiding by the country's extreme censorship rules. The company's AI chatbot is consistently distorting reality —
Users have already found that DeepSeek's app sloppily abides by these rules by replacing text with a generic error message, for instance refusing to explain what happened during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

AI is also loathe to engage with any talk of atrocities and human rights violations against its Uyghur people. China has long been credibly accused of detaining more than one million members of the ethnic group in state-run "re-education camps," while sentencing hundreds of thousands to prison t

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appearance Thursday before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) sparked a terse discussion of vaccine safety, pushing at least one Republican to set the record straight on the genuine science behind the jab.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul—an ophthalmologist—claimed that it’s unclear what the root of conditions such as autism or schizophrenia are, and that they, by all means, could be caused by vaccines

“There isn’t proof that the vaccines cause it, that’s true,” Paul said. “But we don’t know what causes it yet. So shouldn’t we be at least open-minded? We take 72 vaccines. Could it be?”
He also went on to point his finger at the hepatitis B vaccine, claiming that a jab to prevent the sexually transmitted illness shouldn’t be required for infants.
“I waited on the hepatitis B vaccine until my kids went to school. Does that make me a horrible person?” Paul said. “Is there science to say you shouldn’t do it? Probably not but it’s my

President Donald Trump signed several sweeping executive orders on Wednesday to overhaul the American education system, primarily by removing so-called progressive ideologies from school hallways and classrooms.
The executive orders come as Trump has railed against the U.S. education system, accusing it of indoctrinating children in radical anti-American, racist and gender ideologies.

However, critics swiftly condemned the executive orders as being an attack on LGBTQ students and on the accurate teaching of U.S. history, specifically concerning slavery and racial injustice.

Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schools
The executive order titled Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schools threatens to withhold federal funding for "illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools," including based on gender ideology and the undefined and vague "discriminatory equity ideology."

UN, UNRWA, WHO, Human Rights- Only for Palestinians and Not for dying and displaced Africans sponsored by the West and China mineral resources.
Intense security makes venturing out of the camp exasperating.
In the absence of municipal services, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, is the main provider of decent free healthcare and education to residents of Shuafat camp. If UNRWA left, Taha said, “I don’t want to have to think about what we would do.”
AU-African Union is a ghost Org, incapable of solving any conflicts in Africa.
But those services and everything from garbage pickup to water-system maintenance may begin disappearing after a pair of Israeli laws come into effect Thursday banning UNRWA from operating on Israeli territory and prohibiting Israeli officials from any contact with the agency.

North Korea's state media on Wednesday reported U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration but without any commentary on his presidency, but did accuse the United States of committing atrocities during the 1950-53 Korean War.
The Rodong Sinmun, the ruling Workers' Party mouthpiece, published a brief article saying Trump was elected as the 47th president in a November election and an inauguration ceremony.

It did not elaborate and include any commentary on Trump or U.S. affairs, though the newspaper carried a photo of young students receiving propaganda education about the Korean War and "soaring in rage at the atrocities committed by the enemy, the U.S."

South Korea's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers last week that Pyongyang's recent missile tests were partly aimed at "showing off its U.S. deterrent assets and drawing Trump's attention" after vowing "the toughest anti-U.S. counteraction"

"By 2035, an education power will be built,"
China issued its first national action plan to build a "strong education nation" by 2035, which it said would help coordinate its education development, improve efficiencies in innovation and build a "strong country".
The plan, issued by the Communist Party's central committee and the State Council on Sunday, aims to establish a "high quality education system" with accessibility and quality "among the best in the world."

The announcement was made after data on Friday showed China's population fell for a third consecutive year in 2024, with the number of deaths outpacing a slight increase in births, and experts cautioning that the downturn will worsen in the coming years.
High childcare and education costs have been a key factor for many young Chinese opting out of having children, at a time when many face uncertainty over their job prospects amid sluggish economic growth.

South Korea's military said on Monday it has detected signs of North Korea preparing to send more troops and weapons, including suicide drones, to Russia to support its war against Ukraine.
Pyongyang has already provided 240mm multiple rocket launchers and 170mm self-propelled howitzers to Russia, and was seen preparing to produce more suicide drones to be shipped there after leader Kim Jong Un guided a test last month, according to Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

"Suicide drones are one of the tasks that Kim Jong Un has focused on," a JCS official said, adding that the North had expressed its intention to give them to Russia.
Such drones have been widely used in the Ukraine war, and Kim ordered a mass production of the aerial weapons and an update of military theory and education, citing intensifying global competition, state media reported.

Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump heaped scorn on the federal Department of Education, describing it as being infiltrated by “ radicals, zealots and Marxists.”

He has picked Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive, to lead the department. But like many conservative politicians before him, Trump has called for dismantling the department altogether — a cumbersome task that likely would require action from Congress.

Trump has every right to clean up the unhealthy teaching in America school system teach mostly transgender and LGBTQ+...Before we learn more of Christianity. Trump state against teaching of unhealthy things and if possible any teacher found teaching unhealthy and Un-Godly beliefs. Make America "God's Own Country Again"

Donald Trump's vision for education revolves around a single goal: to rid America’s schools of perceived “ wokeness ” and “left-wing indoctrination.”

The president-elect wants to forbid classroom lessons on gender identity and structural racism. He wants to abolish diversity and inclusion offices.

Throughout his campaign, the Republican depicted schools as a political battleground to be won back from the left. Now that he’s won the White House, he plans to use federal money as leverage to advance his vision of education across the nation.

Trump’s education plan pledges to cut funding for schools that defy him on a multitude of issues.
On his first day in office, Trump has repeatedly said he will cut money to “any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children.” On the campaign trail, Trump said he would “not give one penny” to schools with vaccine or mask requirements.

#666 agents in action.
The FBI said Friday that it was investigating offensive email messages sent to members of the Hispanic and LGBTQ communities in addition to a wave of racist text messages sent out to Black Americans.

"The text message recipients have now expanded to high school students, as well as both the Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ communities," the FBI said in a statement posted to its website. "Some recipients reported being told they were selected for deportation or to report to a re-education camp. The messages have also been reported as being received via email communication."

Earlier this week, the FBI said it was looking into a series of racist text messages that were sent out to numerous people from an unknown number this week. The messages included the recipient’s name and had references to “picking cotton.”
The text messages were reported in several states, including New York, the District of Columbia, California, Nevada, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia, Kansas and Ge
