“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond347t
The 1954 Salk polio vaccine trial involved over 1.8 million children. 220,000 received a saline placebo.
It demonstrated the vaccine’s effectiveness against polio.
RFK Jr says "none of the childhood vaccines have been tested against placebo"
Doesn't he know? Or is he a liar?
Kipling’s classic poem “If,” 1895:
“If you can keep your head when all about you losing theirs ... If can wait & not be tired by waiting ... If can think — & not make thoughts your aim ... If you can trust yourself when all doubt you ... Yours is Earth & everything that’s in it.”
Every Republican member of Senate & House caused stock market crash & now predicted recession because they are refusing everyday to use Congress’s constitutionally granted authority to legislatively block the illegal Trump tariffs.

Justice-elect Susan Crawford’s victory over Brad Schimel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump marks a sea change in American politics.
The fight back has begun.
This is a thread about what just happened—and a huge thank you to those who drove it. 🧵
Dear Trump voters,
Yes, we think you're stupid.
Yes, you are ruining the country.
No, this is not George Soros or Hunter Biden.
This is YOUR stupidity.
CNN: The Dow down more than 2,000 points. The S&P and the Nasdaq down over 5.5%. One analyst said he's never seen anything like this. He referred to the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis and COVID, but this is self-inflicted and did not have to happen
So basically Trump sits back and waits for the captains of industry to all come grovel at his feet, and then he grants them tariff waivers if they pay him extortion money. It's the biggest grift in world history, folks
The tariffs don't make sense as economic policy because they aren't economic policy. They are a tool to undermine our democracy. A means to force every major company and industry in America to pledge loyalty to Trump in return for tariff relief.
"When Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, we were told that it would protect America from foreign competition and save jobs in this country—the same line we hear today. The actual result was the Great Depression."
- Ronald Reagan, 1988
THE BIDEN ECONOMY:
✔️ Unemployment was 4.1%, (lowest in 50 years).
✔️ GDP growth was 2.4%.
✔️ Inflation under 3%.
✔️#1 Economy in the world, post-Covid
Don’t blame just Trump for this. Blame every congressional Republican. They own this tariff disaster too. In fact, they own every stupid, ignorant, cruel, authoritarian, un-American thing Trump does.
Cowards. Enablers. Accomplices.
