Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.
The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now.

THIS IS NOT OK! Don’t care how many undocumented people live in this country. We CANNOT allow this abusive behavior- abuse of anyone, citizen or not.

I am sorry that he didn’t get it before. I am sorry that so many were duped. We need to welcome them to the bright side to help us get the lier/con man out.

Countdown to DT saying this is false, all was destroyed, and firing the person who released this information.

Opinion | Autism Rates Have Increased 60-Fold. I Played a Role in That.

This people, THIS!!!

We've heard RFKJ spew on about increasing rates of childhood autism and how the cause MUST BE vaccines or toxins. But he failed to acknowledge or investigate the simplest answer: we expanded the definition of autism, leading to more diagnoses.

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

I can’t believe they’re still spending energy blaming Kamala rather than joining or organizing the fight for our country against this regime. This is why Dems lose - fighting that the process wasn’t fair while DJT demolishes the country.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

Right. And how is serum Vit D representative of overall Vit D status, especially when it’s fat soluble?

Social Security Isn’t an Entitlement Social Security is our nation’s most successful insurance program. For 80+ years, Social Security has been a promise to all Americans that they would have a chance to retire with dignity after a lifet...

"All too often, the other side of the aisle refers to Social Security as an 'entitlement.' That is simply wrong--it's the insurance Americans have paid for to fund retirement, disability, and survivor benefits through a lifetime of work." - John B. Larson

Who is in charge is the definitive question this year.

No diversity. No equity. No inclusion. It’s clear.

So embarrassing. You can’t get less prepared. (PS NICHD is named for his aunt, a champion of child health.)

Your School House Rock moment.....🤔

Hmmm. Who was president at that time? Think, think, think. 🤔

Who even wrote it? Calling grants, "financial assistance", is so ridiculous. I don't think the blanket attempt to control every function outside of the grant project cannot be legal.

It was deadly scandals involving things like ‘swill milk,’ patent medicines including actual snake oil, and tainted food that led to the creation of today’s FDA.With less oversight of the things we eat and drink, it is only a matter of time before we deeply regret these cuts.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Well, this is wild.

I haven’t seen a word from the Bidens about Pope Francis’s passing. Very odd from a devout Catholic. I hope he’s ok.

You forgot the scarlet and gray egg! For the national champs!

Cause he’s a dictator made for the camera.

Is the idea to increase manufacturing in America popular?

For thee, but not for me.

Who I collecting them? Where is the 💰 going? An account labeled “only Mine Don’t Look Here”?

Absolutely happened. Not a damn thing will be done about it.

Is it legal to shave their heads? Why was that done (besides humiliation)?

Right on to this man for speaking truth to power. I was just talking to my buddy about this.

Let me just add: the reason Black folks need to sit this one out (for now). In large numbers, cops see us as a threat and escalate. Trust me—you don’t want to give Trump a reason to declare martial law.

Or a small garden tea. We are in no position to have company.
