One reason the UCLA whistleblowers came forward is that their medical students couldn’t perform basic lab tests—the kind that that might be used to diagnosis life-threatening conditions like, well, sepsis.

"I have students on their rotation who don't know anything," a member of the admissions committee told the Free Beacon. "People get in and they struggle."

“The doctors didn’t follow protocol at all. Big issues.”
Such mistakes happen all the time, to be clear, and there’s no evidence to think this particular, near-fatal error was the result of an incompetent medical student.

But it does underscore the stakes of letting incompetent students practice medicine.

NEW: The Marylander Condominium needed millions in repairs after Prince George's County stood by as a nearby homeless encampment terrorized the condo.

One bank said it would lend if the county guaranteed the loan.

But the county refused—and now residents are being evicted.🧵 Image
After members of the encampment allegedly vandalized the boiler room, 100 units were left without heat and in violation of local safety codes. The damage prompted building inspectors to deem those units "unfit for human habitation" in December and order their occupants to leave.
The situation made the Marylander toxic to lenders, who feared that it was all but guaranteed to default. Starved for credit and at risk of collapse, the condo found financing from a local bank that agreed to lend on one condition: The county would have to guarantee the loan.

NEW: For years, Prince George's County, MD, delivered food to a homeless encampment behind a residential condominium. Vagrants from the camp kept breaking into buildings, defecating in stairwells, and doing drugs in the hallways.

They they broke the heat.

Now the county has deemed half the complex "unfit for human habitation" and is preparing to evict residents—all because of an encampment that the county itself enabled.

The story is shocking.🧵
Residents say the Marylander Condominiums, in Hyattsville, Maryland, used to be a beautiful community.

Here's what it looks like now, after the county refused to clean up the open air drug market on its doorstep. Image

Half of the complex has gone without heat since Thanksgiving after vagrants allegedly vandalized the boiler room. Some units have lost electricity, too, due to the overuse of space heaters. And amid the cold, a few units have flooded after their pipes burst. Units like this one:

NEW: Several IT firms that appear to bar US citizens from certain jobs also have contracts with the federal government—meaning that they discriminate against Americans even as they receive millions in taxpayer largesse.

The Trump administration is now reviewing the contracts.🧵 Image
Image
The General Services Administration told me it would "take all necessary steps to ensure accountability," adding that it would launch "a full contract review with our agency partners who have active awards with the named contractors, as well as others as appropriate."
We reported last week that the IT firms LanceSoft and Tekgence had posted job advertisements indicating that "USC," or U.S. citizens, were not eligible for certain roles. Both companies have contracts with federal agencies, according to the GSA’s database of active vendors. Image

NEW: Many IT firms are posting job ads that unlawfully bar applications from US citizens.

Several of the firms are minority-owned—meaning they receive preferential access to government contracts at the same time that they exclude US workers.

We've found dozens of examples.🧵 Image
In a section title "Visa Requirement," a job ad for LanceSoft stated that "candidates must hold an active H1B visa"—and said explicitly that US citizens need not apply.

"No USC/GC for this role," a recruiter wrote, using the acronyms for U.S. citizens and green card holders. Image
LanceSoft, one of the largest IT staffing firms in the country, describes itself as an equal opportunity employer that strives "to be as diverse as the clients we partner with." It is a certified Minority Business Enterprise—a status the firm has used to score public contracts.

NEW: NYU Law axed a Federalist Society event scheduled for Oct. 7 because administrators feared protesters would disrupt it.

One official cited the "increased likelihood of demonstrations and protests connected to the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 incidents in Gaza."🧵 Image
NYU’s fedsoc chapter had invited the conservative legal scholar Ilya Shapiro to discuss his new book Lawless: The Miseducation of American Elites. Shapiro, who is Jewish, has criticized anti-Israel protesters and taken schools to task over their handling of encampments.
He has also been the target of multiple campus protests, including one at UC Hastings, where he was shouted down for nearly an hour straight.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Free Beacon.🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing.
Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok. Image
