The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’…

Isabella gave her all to serve her country—until she was illegally, unjustly fired. Please listen to her story. I am fighting for Isabella and for federal workers across the country—these firings cannot stand.
