BREAKING 🚨 Trump admin froze $2.7B in Harvard funds since April 2025 - now demands $500M+ ransom for research lifelines.  
Not "settlement" - extortion.  

Harvard's July XX lawsuit exposes this shakedown: $2.6B frozen illegally, $1B/year losses, accreditation attacks. Columbia's $221M deal (July 27) required gutting free speech policies + $21M Title VII payout. Trump wants Harvard's surrender to be bloodier - personal vendetta masquerading as governance.  

When federal funding becomes a president's cudgel, democracy's pillars crumble.
