Under Tim Walz, Minnesota's health department rationed life-saving COVID drugs based on race.

"BIPOC status" earned more points than hypertension in the state's allocation system. It earned the same amount of points as age, BMI, diabetes, and kidney disease. Image
As I wrote at the time, Minnesota cited FDA guidance to justify its brazenly illegal scoring system, which was eventually discontinued.

Minnesota's system did not give extra points to men, even though they were more likely than women to die of COVID.

NEW: Scores of doctors are now registering their patients to vote—including suicidal and psychotic patients at a PA mental hospital.

Helping them is Vot-ER, a nonprofit founded by a Kamala Harris staffer that is targeting traditional Dem voting blocs.🧵
freebeacon.com/elections/meet…
Many patients at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute's inpatient clinic cannot complete "the activities of daily living" or are "suicidal, aggressive, or dangerous to themselves or others."

Since 2020, the hospital has been helping those patients vote.
Located in a swing state that could decide the 2024 election, the hospital asks psychiatric inpatients, regardless of diagnosis, if they would be interested in "voter registration tools" that let them check their nearest polling station and register to vote online.

NEW: Princeton is on the verge of promoting a professor who participated in the occupation of a campus building that disrupted university operations and led to more than a dozen arrests.🧵

freebeacon.com/campus/princet…
Princeton has recommended that the classics scholar Dan-el Padilla Peralta, who along with 13 anti-Israel student protesters stormed Princeton’s historic Clio Hall in April, be promoted from associate to full professor, pending the approval of the university’s board of trustees.
The board is all but certain to approve the promotion, which would make Peralta eligible for deanships and other leadership roles, given that the group nearly always rubber stamps the university's appointments, professors familiar with the matter said.

NEW: The World Professional Association for Transgender Health asserted that gender surgeries and hormones were "medically necessary" so that insurance companies would pay for them, letting concerns about the treatments' affordability dictate claims about their effectiveness.🧵 Image
WPATH's standards of care were updated in 2022 to include language about the medical necessity of hormones and surgeries because, as one WPATH official wrote in an email, the group was frustrated with America's "obtuse and unhealthy system of healthcare 'coverage.'"
Most private insurance plans and state Medicaid policies exclude procedures deemed elective or cosmetic. That is why, in 2016, WPATH issued a statement describing gender treatments as "medically necessary" and urging U.S. insurers to cover them.

NEW: Top Columbia officials conceded in private that their rules for managing student protests "don't work," according to new text messages released this week by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

They also mocked one of their colleagues as a “clown.”🧵
The messages, sent during a May 31 panel on Jewish life, reference the cards that Columbia administrators, or "delegates," have been handing out to protesters since last year in an effort to break up unauthorized gatherings.
The cards instruct recipients to show their student IDs and notify them of possible sanctions, including a semester's suspension, if they don't pack up and leave.

NEW: The deans at the center of the Columbia texting scandal said Jewish students were "coming from a place of privilege" and suggested they have more institutional support than their peers because of their supposed wealth, according to new messages reviewed by the Beacon.🧵

Image
The messages, obtained by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and released on Tuesday, show that three of the deans—Susan Chang-Kim, Matthew Patashnick, and Cristen Kromm—engaged in a more extensive pattern of disparagement than has been previously reported.
"I’m going to throw up," Chang-Kim, Columbia’s vice dean and chief administrative officer, wrote to her colleagues roughly an hour into the panel. freebeacon.com/campus/amazing…

NEW: The dean of Columbia College, Josef Sorett, mocked Columbia’s top Hillel official in a new text message obtained by the Beacon, further implicating him in the scandal that’s caused three of his colleagues to be placed on leave.

“LMAO,” Sorett said of the rabbi’s remarks.🧵 Image
Sorett’s text came in response to a sarcastic message from his colleague, Columbia’s vice dean and chief administrative officer Susan Chang-Kim, who said of Columbia’s Hillel director, Brian Cohen, "He is our hero."
The exchange, according to the person who photographed Chang-Kim’s cell phone during the May 31 panel on anti-Semitism, came as Cohen told a concerned parent that his "soul has been broken" by the protests on Columbia’s campus, which included calls to murder Jewish students.
