Snatching an international student off our streets who is lawfully in our Country and attending one of our Universities and then bundling her off to an ICE detention center 1,700 miles away without a hearing is a sickening reminder of the Gestapo-like conduct from another age. I have asked for a full status report from ICE on the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, a legally authorized Turkish student at Tufts University. I will request her immediate return to Massachusetts.
We currently have about 80,000 foreign students attending more than 60 Colleges in the greater Boston/Cambridge area precisely because we have a reputation as a center of learning and intellectual, religious, and cultural tolerance. Let’s keep it that way.
@deliprao You make many important points but your math is all wrong. The F&A rate (or indirect cost rate) is not applied to the total grant cost but to direct costs, with certain items excluded. For places you mention it works out to about 30% of the total grant. And keeps the lights on.
That’s right. Half of the solar in the U.S today came online during the Biden-Harris administration.
It’s no accident.
@POTUS Biden & @VP Harris have been ‘pedal to the metal’ on American energy expansion — and that’s meant a lot more good energy jobs. https://t.co/9Hgo1BzrZW

Republicans are smearing the free school breakfast & lunch program Gov Tim Walz signed into law as “socialism.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s Project 2025 calls for slashing existing school lunch programs on p. 302 of the playbook.
Why does the GOP want to see children go hungry?
