Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

If the plan was to deliberately destroy both education and healthcare in this country, I can't imagine what they'd be doing differently.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡

Democrats scored big in school board races across Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio — flipping dozens of seats.

The party's candidates pushed issues regarding test scores and bus safety over debates about which bathrooms transgender students use and banning books from school libraries.

On brand for a kakistocracy.
The Dept of Education no longer classifies Nursing or Accounting degrees, among others, as "professional" when considering reimbursement for federal loans.

Two professions where shortages are rampant. Ain't gonna get better with this!

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

So by every objective measure that we rate the economy on, Trump has made things worse, not better.
TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

No coincidence that today’s outburst about hanging Democrats in Congress from Trump comes right after he’s been schmoozing with his big pal, Mr Bone Saw. WWMBS DO???

President Trump frequently demonstrates his disdain for journalists. He expresses his admiration for authoritarians almost as often. Tuesday showed how intertwined those two instincts really are.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The Pentagon has decided that Swastikas and nooses are cool now, and no longer considered symbols of hate. So if you're Jewish or black, and bunking with Nazis, well you'll just have to be OK with that because Nazis aren't bad anymore and bigotry is acceptable.

There's "new information"? But only about Democrats who interacted with Epstein? And this only prompted a new investigation after Trump publicly said these people should be investigated? Looks like she is lying, lying, lying.
“Will you release all the files within 30 days?”

BONDI: “We’ll continue to follow the law.”🤔

“You said no addition investigation was warranted. What changed?”

BONDI: “Information.” 🙃

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

I am very skeptical, however. He’s the President. He can release the files.
