Drain<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><em>Trump\u2019s War on Universities Could Kill U.S. Innovation<\/em><br \/>\nn June 2024, at a national science and technology conference, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that the high-tech sector had become \u201cthe frontline and main battlefield of international competition, profoundly reshaping the global order and the pattern of development.\u201d He is, of course, absolutely right. The United States and China compete for economic, military, and diplomatic dominance through the development of new technologies, including those with both military and civilian applications.<\/p>\n<p>China is an increasingly formidable rival on this front.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nToday, the Trump administration is allowing scientific discovery and technological innovation to become collateral damage amid a culture war on universities. Vice President JD Vance has explained the political impetus for upending U.S. universities very clearly in a February 2024 interview with <em>The European Conservative<\/em>: \u201cWe should be really aggressively reforming them in a way to where they\u2019re much more open to conservative ideas.\u201d But is the perceived liberal bent of universities a reason to sow chaos in a research system that is key to U.S. national competitiveness? If a researcher can find a way to prevent cancer or Alzheimer\u2019s, it should not matter whether they are conservative or liberal.<\/p>\n<p>In just a few months in office, the Trump administration has already managed to inflict a remarkable amount of damage on the country\u2019s research enterprise\u2014damage that will have lasting effects. This includes hollowing out research agency staffs and freezing the process by which grants are awarded. The administration has also canceled already-awarded grants deemed to be in violation of executive orders, such as those related to gender identity or diversity, equity, and inclusion, or at disfavored institutions such as Columbia University. Most sweeping are the structural changes in the funding system for university research.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/united-states\/trump-universities-war-america-coming-brain-drain\" target=\"_blank\">(Foreign Affairs more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>NBC: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/pediaflow-research-babies-heart-defects-trump-administration-rcna197155\" target=\"_blank\">Trump administration halts research to help babies with heart defects<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>James Antaki has worked for over 30 years on a device to help infants with holes in their hearts and other defects.

The business executives are looking for Saudi investments.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Karaian of the New York Times notes that the Saudis are looking to diversify their oil-dependent economy and are now the world\u2019s largest investors in artificial intelligence, or AI. In addition to Musk, the AI entrepreneurs in today\u2019s entourage include, as Karaian reports, \u201cSam Altman, the chief executive of ChatGPT parent OpenAI; Jensen Huang, the leader of the advanced chipmaker Nvidia; Ruth Porat, the chief investment officer of Alphabet, Google\u2019s parent company; and Andy Jassy, the chief of Amazon, which is a major provider of cloud-computing services.\u201d Cyber experts note that DOGE\u2019s mining of Americans\u2019 personal data under Musk has given him access to a treasure trove of verified information for his own company xAI. Karaian notes that xAI is in the process of raising money that could bring the value of the firm to $120 billion.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/heathercoxrichardson.substack.com\/p\/may-13-2025\" target=\"_blank\">(Heather Cox Richardson more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Snopes: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/trump-qatar-funders-terrorism\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yes, Trump called Qatar &#8216;funders of terrorism&#8217; in 2017<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>In May 2025, the nation of Qatar gave the Department of Defense a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to be remodeled into a new Air Force One.<\/p>\n<h2>WSJ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/donald-trump-ahmed-al-sharaa-syria-sanctions-turkey-saudi-arabia-5c8c8a03\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Bets on Syria\u2019s Former Jihadist<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The President will remove all U.S. sanctions against the new Damascus regime.<\/p>\n<h2>USA Today: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/world\/2025\/05\/14\/donald-trump-syrian-leader-ahmed-al-sharaa-meeting\/83620862007\/\">How Syria&#8217;s leader rose from al-Qaeda militant to a meeting with President Trump<\/a><\/h2>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>NY Times: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250514134818\/https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/14\/us\/hawaii-kona-coffee-workers-immigrants-ice.html\" target=\"_blank\">Hawaii\u2019s Prized Kona Coffee Fields Have Become a Target for ICE<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The Trump crackdown has reached the volcanic Island of Hawaii, where immigrants, some of them undocumented, are crucial to cultivating the rare coffee.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250514134818\/https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/14\/us\/hawaii-kona-coffee-workers-immigrants-ice.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants.jpg\" alt=\"Kona coffee plants\" title=\"Kona coffee plants\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kewus.net\/yesterday\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kona-coffee-plants-1025x1536.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250514134818\/https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/14\/us\/hawaii-kona-coffee-workers-immigrants-ice.html\" target=\"_blank\">(NY Times more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<li>\n<h2>CNN: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/05\/14\/business\/inflation-trump-airfare-prices\" target=\"_blank\">Good news!
