The most important American document you were never taught in school was adopted on June 12, 1776.
Three weeks before the Declaration of Independence, Virginia adopted the Declaration of Rights, written by a man most people can't name: George Mason.
Read the opening line: "All men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights."
Sound familiar? Thomas Jefferson was writing the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia at that exact moment, and he borrowed heavily from it.
Then it happened again. When James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights in 1789, he used Mason's document as his blueprint. Freedom of the press, religious liberty, no cruel and unusual punishment, jury trials. Mason had all of it first.
The document even crossed the ocean. Lafayette leaned on it when drafting France's Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789.
And here's the kicker: Mason later refused to sign the Constitution. Why? It had no bill of rights and didn't end the slave trade. He died politically isolated for it. Then the country added the Bill of Rights, proving him right.
One Virginia farmer wrote the rough draft of American freedom, influenced two revolutions, and got almost zero credit.
250 years ago today. Raise a glass to George Mason.
In 2022 Jen Psaki was asked about claims that we were operating biolabs in Ukraine. She denied the existence of "bioweapons" programs and then called the whole thing Russian disinformation.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

A Berkeley history professor said he’s gone from assigning 100 pages of reading per week to 35.
Another “said the earliest version of the…course he taught required seven full books, while his most recent iteration exclusively consisted of excerpts.”
“We are now reaching a crisis point where if the number (of pages) goes down further, it’s unclear to me whether my discipline of history can really be taught,” the first one said.
@ArriojaJoseE If the OAS wasn’t a corrupt bureaucracy headed by a Chinese proxy with a $250,000-a-year mistress, and staffed with hyper-politicized staff who openly hate the United States, maybe the US wouldn’t have zeroed out the funding.
