The Trump admin now says nursing isn't a professional degree.
The admin plan to redefine what constitutes a professional degree to exclude nursing and limit access to student loans — outraging national health care groups and leaving nursing students questioning how they'll pay for graduate degrees.

Former army clemency & parole board member here. Boards I was on for GWOT war criminals — Mahmudiyah murders; Gibbs’s kill squad — had the common denominator of poor leadership. Leadership vacuum filled by “leaders” who viewed others as sub-human. We’re witnessing the same but at the national level.

Hard to think of a bigger example of a state that regularly votes against its own economic interests bc its obsessed with culture war grievances instead. Future Democratic presidents should remember this next time theyre tempted to spend political/economic capital there like Biden & Manchin did.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I'd like to second most of whats in this thread and also note that I came across a fair amount this semester of students just straight up not understanding/following pretty basic instructions seemingly out of a sheer inability to give a damn enough to even look at them.
This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

It's probably a combination of the assassination attempt, exhaustion, dementia, and stroke recovery, but the point stands. A key element of Trump's support was the fact that he went and talked to his cult. He doesn't do that anymore.
The fact that Trump is having to do a tele-rally for TN-07 is IMO, telling.
First Term Trump would have spent the next few weeks in Franklin or Clarksville so he can bask in the adulation of his followers.

James Buchanan blew up the Union in defense of slavery and then let his own Secretary of War assist in the lame duck preparations for treason, and Andrew Johnson was a drunken white supremacist who effectively revolted against Congress, and still neither of them were ever so nakedly lawless.

The baked dish is one of the US's most popular foods, but its rise can likely be traced back to an enslaved Black chef who worked for Thomas Jefferson.
