If I had all the resources of the federal government and a particular interest in long-term follow-up studies of vaccine trials, I would simply DO long-term follow-up studies of all the vaccine trials we’ve already done.

This is bananas.

But also faculty please now more than ever make your rubric on memos/ writing super explicit.

This would fail in my class because it doesn’t “meaningfully engage readings.” Protect yourself as much as possible from engaging on politics.

Hope this prof sues the shit out of them.

“In a rare split with the Trump administration, GOP-led panels in the House and Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.”

Part of why Trump won in 2016 was he was an "outsider" who promised to "end corruption." He did not end corruption, he is a big "to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy" guy. He's a spoiled and corrupt person, who has spoiled and corrupted his party and government. That story sells itself.
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*
