Why do the guys that work in Trump’s admin all look like villains in B rated horror movies from the 70s?

Trump is mad at Biden for reappointing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump nominated.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

What a contrast to where we are now…

"Well, we all are going to die"

#IASen Joni Ernst shocks her own constituents, dismissing concerns that supporting deep cuts to Medicaid and other services will cause people to die if they can't get the care they need.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

And proud of it!

A great idea is taking off 😃

The Peoples’ Cabinet will give Dem supporters, from policy experts to ordinary citizens, a chance to weigh in to be part of a

NEW: We’re launching a new DNC War Room, aggressively scaling up our rapid response operation to hold Trump and Republicans accountable.

We’re launching a new DNC War Room.

We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day.

At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country.

He can’t go unchallenged.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it:

“Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to access a vast database containing earnings information for nearly all U.S. workers. This database is maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the Federal Parent Locator Service, which is primarily used for child support enforcement.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The stakes are just too high.

“Imagine a man who would not fight for his country berating a man for fighting for his”
