Congratulations to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris! I’m so excited for my daughter! Anything is possible but it’s different when you see it!
Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."
The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books.
The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development.
These aren’t ‘woke donations.’
They are contracts. Proposed, reviewed, awarded, with metrics and deadlines and standards of performance.
Harvard is a government contractor in that sense — lab by lab, scientist by scientist — just the way any other company is a contractor.
That’s true of Columbia’s $400 million in ‘frozen’ contracts — and all the rest.
R1 research universities do crucial research the federal government can’t do itself, but that we as a nation have decided we need done.
Mission driven. Pioneering. Essential.
They can’t be done — as Sean Hannity just suggested — at community colleges & vocational schools.
That’s not what the $2.2 billion is being spent on.
…You could Google it. Of course.
No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.
I’m hearing there are many long lines to vote across Pennsylvania on college campuses because of record youth voter turnout.
PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS: IF YOU ARE IN LINE TO VOTE STAY IN LINE TO VOTE YOU CANNOT BE TURNED AWAY SO LONG AS YOU ARE IN LINE.
