#SchulichMedDent's Dr. Robyn Klein's (@KleinLab_WUSTL) path to becoming a neuroimmunologist was shaped by the women mentors who taught her how to challenge dogma in all forms. Read more about her journey in her own words in @NatImmunol’s Women in Immunology collection.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: George Santos goes NUCLEAR and says he will release evidence of wrongdoing by a list of REPUBLICAN members of Congress who may have broken the law.

Here are his full accusations. 🍿

According to Santos, on Monday he’ll file an official complaint with the Office of congressional Ethics against Malliotakis “regarding her questionable stock trading since joining the Ways and Means committee this Congress.”

Santos said he will file an Ethics complaint against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler “for questionable campaign finance violations.”

Santos says “Congressman Lawler owns portion of Checkmate Strategies and he uses the same firm that he is a beneficiary of to pay for services related to his campaign.”

“Is Mr Lawler engaging in laundering money…from his campaign to his firm then to his own pocket?” Santos asked.

Finally, Santos says his third ethics report will concern Republican Rep. Nick LaLotta
who he accused of attending school while he was on the clock at a government job.

“Did Rep Lalota no-show to his tax pay funded job while going to school and if so he can potential have stolen public funds from the tax payers of NY?” Santos asked.

If history has shown us anything, hell hath no fury like a lying conman scorned.

What are your thoughts about Santos spilling tea about his former colleagues?
