The Trump administration has asked federal agencies to cancel contracts with Harvard University worth about $ 100 million, intensifying the president’s collision with the largest and wealthy university in the nation.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s campaign against the legal profession struck another failure on Tuesday when a federal judge canceled an enforcement order that seeks to sanction one of the most prestigious law firms in the country. The decision in favor of Wilmerhale notes the third time this month that a Federal Judge in Washington believes that a series of executive orders of Trump’s law firm is non -constitutional and has constantly banned their implementation.

Musk is “disappointed” in the “big, beautiful” reduction in Trump’s taxes and the cost of the bill
Elon Musk, who leads the efforts of the Republican president to reduce government spending, said the bill increases the deficit and undermines his work to reduce costs in the Ministry of Government Efficiency or DOG.
“I was disappointed when I saw the mass cost bill, honestly, which increases the budget deficit, and not just reduces it and undermines the work that the Dog’s team is doing,” Musk told CBS News in an interview on Sunday.
The bill on the road will extend the expiring tax reductions that Trump adopted during his first term and will increase the costs of military and border implementation. Some savings will come from the proposed changes to Medicaid and the food printing program.
The Congress Budget Office said tax provisions would increase federal deficits by $ 3.8 trillion in the decade.
“A great, beautiful law on the bill” must still be passed by the Senate before Trump can sign it in the law.
Said Musk, “I think the bill may be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.”
The boss of the UN nuclear guard says “jury
The head of the United Nations nuclear guard was talking about Wednesday about negotiations between Iran and the US about the rapid progress of Tehran’s nuclear program, but described continuing negotiations for a good sign.

Grossi admitted that one of his MPs was in Tehran on Wednesday. Iranian employees have identified the employee as Massimo Aparao, the head of the Hand of the Mae’s Hand. This is the department that sends inspectors to Iran to monitor their program, which now enriches Uranus to 60% clean-short, a technical step from 90% weapons levels.
“For the moment, the jury is still out. We do not know if there will be an agreement or not,” Grossi told reporters who visit a seminar during the week at the Vienna Agency.

The US stops planning interviews for visas for foreign students as it expands the social media check
The State Department has stopped planning new interviews for visas for foreign students hoping to study in the United States as it is preparing to expand the inspection of its activities on social media, officials said.
An US employee said the suspension Tuesday is intended to be temporary and does not apply to candidates who have already scheduled their visa interviews. The employee speaks on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal administration document.
A cable, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and received by the Associated Press, says the State Department plans to issue guidance on the extended inspections of social media.
“In force immediately, when preparing to expand the required screening and check on social media, the consulate sections should not add additional capacity to appoint a visa for students or exchange while the management is issued, the cable said.
This move, which is first reported by Politico, is the last in the Trump administration’s repression against international students.

Trump’s campaign against law firms made another failure as a judge blocked the execution order
Trump’s campaign against the legal profession struck another failure on Tuesday, when a federal judge canceled an enforcement order that seeks to sanction one of the most prestigious law firms in the country.
The decision in favor of Wilmerhale notes the third time this month that a Federal Judge in Washington believes that a series of executive orders of Trump’s law firm is non -constitutional and has constantly banned their implementation.
The company applauded Leon’s decision, appointed to former Republican President George W. Bush.
The decision was similar to the one from Friday by a different judge who rejected Trump’s edict against Jenner & Block and another from earlier during the month in favor of Perkins Coie. Taken together, decisions noted a stupid rejection of Trump’s actions, which the law firms called for the legal system and contrary to the basic principle that lawyers could represent clients or reasons without government repression.

The government has already canceled more than $ 2.6 billion in federal research grants to the Ivy League school, which has withdrawn from the administration’s requests for changes in several of its policies.
A letter sent on Tuesday by the General Services Administration, which runs the contract and real estate for the federal government, directs agencies to review contracts with the university and seek alternative arrangements.
The New York Times for the first time reported the letter.
