Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.
Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.
Take that shit to court!

The fact that they can't even spell "Architecture" is pretty much all you need to know about these clowns.
But yeah, this is insane.

Since these will not be professional degrees they will not be eligible for federal aid or subsidies of any kind. note Education is on this list.

This administration loves wasting money on stupid stuff (e.g. ballroom, name changes) and leaving vulnerable people out in the cold. Literally.

Poetic justice. And the rural reps will have the toughest time and highest costs.
There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

I can't really be mad at the Dems who caved. Republicans are willing to let people starve to take away their Healthcare. Dems are not willing to let people starve to secure their Healthcare. Playing chess with a pigeon, there are no good moves.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.
I miss having a REAL President.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Our employer-provided health insurance is going up $400 a month. Property taxes up $200 a month.
COLA raise of 3% brings in $250 more a month.
Grocery and gas prices are rising and we just got hit with $4,000 in car repairs.
This is not sustainable.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Kimmel: "A government threat to silence a comedian the President doesn't like is anti-American."
I stand with comedians who will not be silenced, and journalists who refuse to sign a document saying they will only report what the administration wants reported.

Ok, but I want to hear what he has to say before I reinstate my Hulu and Disney+ subscription. He better not be censored.
"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Canceling Disney and Hulu is hard. We have a great price package right now. My kids love Marvel movies. And OMitB is just halfway through a new season.
But you know what's even harder?
Living in a fascist country.
So, what's good on Netflix these days?

Everyday we listen to the list of ongoing Trump atrocities from the left. We never hear a word about how the fuck get rid of him or any real solutions. Time is almost up. What's the game plan??? I want them to stop bitching and start doing the damn job they are elected to do.
