Trump unlawfully canceled Harvard's research grants, US judge rules

This is absurd. Of course the executive can cancel grants from agencies that are directed by the executive. It is not an issue of speech, but whether the grant implements the goals the administration has. And in this case they don’t. Claiming that Harvard has to control who it hires for it to have free speech is inconsistent. Would the same judge agree then that federal contracts requiring ownership or quotas based on race and sex are also a violation of free speech? It’s also weird that the judge is guessing at the administration’s intent to make his case rather than on what the administration laid out (regarding discrimination against Jewish students and faculty).
