State legislative sessions around the country are coming to a close, and fights over public vs. charter school funding and cell phones were among the biggest policy battles this year.

The Trump administration's efforts to block international students from Harvard could come at a hefty price — and not just for the university. Harvard students are top innovators in the country, with foreign-born alumni leading dozens of successful startups. |

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said during a recent interview that President Trump is looking to "exact vengeance" on Harvard University after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blocked the Ivy League institution from enrolling foreign students. Raskin said on Friday night that the administration's move to rescind Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification is "definitely unconstitutional because it was in retaliation for Harvard rejecting the last round of unconstitutional attacks on its autonomy." |

Jon Stewart said President Trump's legal woes with media companies amount to an effort to tear down the country for "insurance money."

OPINION | "My job is to take punches to the face every day for the failure of the U.S. defense industrial system to deliver." That was the startling self-introduction delivered by a senior military officer responsible for defense cooperation assigned to a major U.S. embassy during an event I attended last year. Unfortunately, he was only half joking. |
OPINION | In response to duties imposed on foreign goods by the U.S. government, a leading international publication called out the U.S. policy, predicting that political and economic upheaval would follow. That dire prediction — made by The London Standard in 1896 (at that time known as The Standard) — did not quite pan out. Instead, the U.S. economy enjoyed a renaissance, ushering in an era of financial prosperity that has continued to this day. | | |
