Last Week Tonight the Other Night

If you didn't see Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on Sunday, his article was about (as you can see) Trump vs. Higher Education. It was pointed, infuriating, damning, and still often very funny.
I won't say more about it, since readers of these pages know it's what I've written about here for years -- and going back further to my days writing for the Huffington Post 15 years ago. (Here's an article on it from 2023 with links to two HuffPo articles that I wrote on the subject back in 2011.)
Actually, there is one thing I'll add -- which is something obvious from my past writings on the subject) -- and it's that this isn't just about Trump. It's a war on education that the Republican has been carrying on for 75 years. But Trump and the MAGOPs have turned that effort into an art form.
