Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin
Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

The original sin: Five Supreme Court Republican appointees, many helped onto the Court by right-wing billionaires, open the floodgates for unlimited political spending. Then they refuse to police anonymous political spending they know is corrupting. This is the result.
How billionaires took over American politics
The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.

The Trump regime’s corruption is off the charts. We’ve never seen a president turn the government into a personal cash machine like this. The grift, the self-dealing, the outright theft—unprecedented in modern American history.

Facts matter....Bill Clinton never went to Epstein’s island. Not once. Flight logs from the Epstein criminal cases, which have been public for years, show no flights by Clinton to Little St. James. Fact-checking organizations have revisited this claim repeatedly because it keeps resurfacing.

The President is dangerous. The DOD is incompetent.
What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

This statement is just as concerning as his previous statement. It shows that he does not have the temperament that it takes to be the President of the United States if he can’t control what comes out of his mouth.

Remember..Trump RESENTS our military members...because he knows he was TOO AFRAID to put himself in harms way...the way each of them agreed to do.
And, traveling the world with the most massive security team..and the most sophisticated technology...anywhere on Earth...is not even remotely, "brave."
