Some have praised the administration’s actions, saying what has happened necessitates consequences. Harvard has pushed back with lawsuits, warning that these federal actions could cripple critical scientific research and chill academic freedom.

Experts who have closely followed this issue and a member of The Harvard Crimson, its undergraduate student newspaper, also joined the discussion.

No matter how the White House or anyone else wants to frame it, since Donald Trump has dominated Republican politics House Republicans have lost 47 seats.
