Harvard Is Suing the Trump Administration
- On Monday evening, Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in a Massachusetts federal court concerning the suspension of $2.2 billion in federal funding.

- Attorney Alan Dershowitz characterized the lawsuit as politically motivated and legally weak, stating it is "all but certain" to fail if it reaches the Supreme Court.
- The action threatens ongoing research and academic freedom at Harvard while signaling deeper tensions over federal funding conditions in higher education.
