This ends subsidized loans, caps grad borrowing & cuts aid to programs where grads earn under the state median. Grad students in education, counseling, the arts will hit loan limits fast. Liberal arts degrees? Gone. Higher ed is being reshaped to serve short-term earnings, not long-term public good.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

House Ethics Republicans are now complicit in burying the report into Matt Gaetz, voting against its release (despite the issue being serious enough to warrant an investigation in the first place). Trump says jump, Republicans say "how high" -- even if it means shielding sex trafficking of a minor.

Trump's people might be floating this court-martial thing to distract everyone from his Cabinet picks. Maybe. But even as a head-fake, it's a direct attack on the norms of American civil-military relations and a reminder that Trump wants loyalty to him, not the Constitution.

Vance is lying and he knows it.“Deus vult” has never been a “thing” in American Christianity. And I would know. I grew up in fundamentalist and evangelical churches, read Rush Limbaugh’s books as a kid, wanted to be Jay Sekulow when I grew up. This is extreme even in that context.
Deus vult’ began as a rallying cry for the Crusades. More recently, it’s been adopted by the far right. And we’re not even supposed to wonder/ask why it’s tattooed on the arm of the next defense secretary?
