Representatives of Elon Musk’s DOGE team told attorneys for a nonprofit that they plan to embed themselves in all institutes or agencies that receive federal funds, according to a transcript of the conversation. On a phone call to discuss placement of a DOGE representative with the Vera Institute of Justice, one DOGE member said that DOGE wants to have teams assigned to every institute and agency that receives federal funds through the congressional appropriations process. A DOGE spokesman said the meeting was in keeping with the executive order establishing the group. They backed off upon learning that Vera had just lost $5 million in federal grants. In a statement, Vera Institute president Nick Turner said, “This administration has systematically attacked every aspect of civil society, from academia to law firms and the media, and is now coming after the nonprofit sector.” (Washington Post)
President Trump has threatened Harvard University’s tax-exempt status after the university refused to comply with his demands for changes to its hiring and admissions practices and curriculum. In a social media post, Trump suggested that Harvard be taxed as “a political entity,” which could cost Harvard billions of dollars over time. It is illegal for the president to direct the Internal Revenue Service to conduct specific investigations, and White House officials told the New York Times that the agency would make its decision independently. Trump’s post came after the administration froze more than $2 billion in federal funds for the university. The IRS declined to comment, and Harvard officials did not respond to a request for comment.
