  • Lest We Forget the Horrors: a Catalog of Trump’S Worst Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes
    COPYRIGHT MCSWEENEY’S 2020/2021 MCSWEENEYS.NET LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS: A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES THE COMPLETE LISTIN G : ATROCITIES 1- 1056 BY BEN PARKER, STEPHANIE STEINBRECHER, KELSEY RONAN, JOHN M C MURTRIE, SOPHIA D U ROSE, RACHEL VILLA, AND AMY SUMERTON - - - Early in President Trump’s term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, and crimes, and it felt urgent then to track them, to ensure these horrors — happening almost daily — would not be forgotten. This election year, amid a harrowing global health, civil rights, humanitarian, and economic crisis, we know it’s never been more critical to note these horrors, to remember them, and to do all in our power to reverse them. - - - Various writers have compiled this list during the course of the Trump administration. Their work has been guided by invaluable journalistic resources, including WTFJHT, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other sources, to whom we are grateful. - - - ATROCITY KEY – Sexual Misconduct, Harassment, & Bullying – White Supremacy, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, & Xenophobia – Public Statements / Tweets – Collusion with Russia & Obstruction of Justice – Trump Staff & Administration – Trump Family Business Dealings – Policy – Environment - - - BEFORE JANUARY 2017 1. – February 10, 2011 – In 2011, Donald Trump stoked false claims that Barack Obama had lied about his education. During a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said, “Our current president came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. In fact, I’ll go a step further: The people that went to school with him, they never saw him, they don’t know who he is.

  • 2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium Or Poster Presentation
    2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium or Poster Presentation TOP PODIUM PRESENTATION Social Media and Military Medicine SFC Paul E. Loos, NCOIC Surgery, Anesthesia, Records and Reports Section, Special Forces Medical Sergeants Course, Joint Special Operations Medical Training Facility, Fort Bragg, NC Background: As technology in communications advances, best practices in tactical or military medicine can be shared at the speed of creation. Currently best practices are spread through the publishing of texts, scholarly journal articles, word of mouth, or during periodic refresher courses. This leaves many tactical medical providers and medical directors using different protocols and recommendations for patient care. The goal of my presentation is to inform and empower medical providers to more efficiently disseminate needed medical information to medics in their charge utilizing modern communications techniques. Methods: Trial and error and 3 years of experience. Results: 160,000 hits on our website made by over 70,000 unique IP addresses around the world on our blog posts, podcasts and recommendations. Discussion: Due to a variety of reasons, military medics are not getting the most up to date information regarding the treatment of casualties throughout the gamut of tactical medicine. I will submit a layered approach using multiple solutions in improving communication of current best practices and recommendations from unit surgeons down to the end-user medic on the ground. This will include discussions on social media use, and etiquette, by military members to include different social media platforms as well as current USSOCOM and DOD policy. Depending on the content to be released, various social media sites are better used for certain purposes.

  • UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine
    Newsletter SPRING 2020 To our UMBC/Meyerhoff families: We hope you and your families are all doing well during this strange and stressful time of Covid- 19. Although the world has changed quickly with so many things shut down and many of us sheltering at home, we hope this newsletter will represent a ray of sunshine during a dark and difficult time. Please enjoy this positive representation of our student and alumni community. MPA Board UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine Kizzmekia Corbett ’08, M16, biological sciences, says it feels like she’s “living in a constant adrenaline rush.” Maybe that’s because she and her team at the Vaccine Research Center at the National Insti- tute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have been working around the clock for weeks. They’re racing to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus faster than it can race across the globe. “To be living in this moment where I have the opportunity to work on something that has imminent global importance…it’s just a surre- al moment for me,” Corbett says. Despite it feeling surreal, the advances Corbett and her team are making are very real, and they’re setting records. “We are making better progress than I could have ever hoped for,” she says. After three months of studies in test tubes and in animals, the vaccine her team developed is about to enter a phase I clinical trial, a crucial hur- dle on the way to FDA approval. Read the complete article about Kizzmekia and her team’s efforts to develop a Covid-19 vaccine in the latest UMBC magazine at https:// Kizzmekia Corbett, NIH magazine.umbc.edu/umbc-alumnae-racing-to-develop- coronavirus-vaccine/.

  • Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A
    Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A. Farber1 Anne Joseph O’Connell2 I. Introduction [I would widen the Introduction: focusing on the problem of what kind of president Donald Trump is and what the implications are. The descriptive and normative angles do not seem to have easy answers. There is a considerable literature in political science and law on positive/descriptive theories of the president. Kagan provides just one, but an important one. And there is much ink spilled on the legal dimensions. I propose that after flagging the issue, the Introduction would provide some key aspects of Trump as president, maybe even through a few bullet points conveying examples, raise key normative questions, and then lay out a roadmap for the article. One thing to address is what ways we think Trump is unique for a study of the President and for the study of Administrative Law, if at all.] [We should draft this after we have other sections done.] Though the Presidency has been a perennial topic in the legal literature, Justice Elena Kagan, in her earlier career as an academic, penned an enormously influential 2001 article about the increasingly dominant role of the President in regulation, at the expense of the autonomy of administrative agencies.3 The article’s thesis, simply stated, was that “[w]e live in an era of presidential administration.”, by 1 Sho Sato Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 2 George Johnson Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 3 Elena Kagan, Presidential Administration, 114 HARV.

  • Breakfast Club
    Monday, 5 Oct 2020 Breakfast Club Good morning, Monday. Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s physician admitted to giving a misleading statement about the president receiving oxygen, the latest in a series of contradictory and confusing accounts about Trump’s coronavirus infection. White House physician Sean Conley told reporters Sunday that Trump had received supplemental oxygen on Friday, after saying the previous day that the president hadn’t been treated with oxygen on Friday. He gave the misleading information initially to “reflect the upbeat attitude” of Trump and his doctors. Broadly, White House officials have repeatedly described Trump’s health as improving even while doctors were administering a rising number of drugs. He received Regeneron’s therapeutic on Friday, and later that night began a treatment course of Gilead’s remdesivir intravenously. Trump had been given dexamethasone, his third therapeutic treatment in as many days. Dexamethasone is used to calm an overly active inflammatory response to the infection, one that typically doesn’t start until the virus has been present for some time. Trump receiving it at this stage is a sign that doctors may think the illness is progressing quicker than expected, or that he’d actually contracted it earlier. Later Sunday evening, Trump unexpectedly left the hospital to greet supporters, waving to them from his motorcade in a bid to demonstrate strength. Biden and Harris both tested negative for the virus. On the right, the VIX, or fear gauge, jumped as much as 12% -- the most since Sept. 3 -- on Friday following Trump’s announcement he has the virus.

  • Corporate and Foreign Interests Behind White House Push to Transfer U.S
    Corporate and Foreign Interests Behind White House Push to Transfer U.S. Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia Prepared for Chairman Elijah E. Cummings Second Interim Staff Report Committee on Oversight and Reform U.S. House of Representatives July 2019 oversight.house.gov EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On February 19, 2019, the Committee on Oversight and Reform issued an interim staff report prepared for Chairman Elijah E. Cummings after multiple whistleblowers came forward to warn about efforts inside the White House to rush the transfer of U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. As explained in the first interim staff report, under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, the United States may not transfer nuclear technology to a foreign country without the approval of Congress in order to ensure that the agreement meets nine nonproliferation requirements to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. These agreements, commonly known as “123 Agreements,” are typically negotiated with career experts at the National Security Council (NSC) and the Departments of State, Defense, and Energy. The “Gold Standard” for 123 Agreements is a commitment by the foreign country not to enrich or re-process nuclear fuel and not to engage in activities linked to the risk of nuclear proliferation. During the Obama Administration, Saudi Arabia refused to agree to the Gold Standard. During the Trump Administration, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) went further, proclaiming: “Without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible.” There is strong bipartisan opposition to abandoning the “Gold Standard” for Saudi Arabia in any future 123 Agreement.
