It's no coincidence that the Department of Education removing many majors as being 'professional degrees' mostly affect fields dominated by women. Take another look at Project 2025. Women not getting federal funding for these degrees forces them out of the workforce - which is their ultimate aim.

One of the most exciting sunsets I've captured. A thunderstorm came rolling in just as the clouds started to change color. Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

We’re a little late to this, but we just saw MAGA melting down over a post claiming Mamdani is teaching “Arabic numerals” in public schools. We had to laugh do they not realize those are the numbers we use every single day? You really can’t make this stuff up.

The Department of Education, which is being led by the former CEO of WWE, declared that public health and advanced nursing are no longer professional degrees under upcoming federal loan eligibility rules. Crippling female dominated fields on purpose.
Blessed be the fruit, I guess.

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

You all know I've been after the Treasury Department's own Epstein file. It's a set of thousands of detailed bank records, a map of Epstein's financial network. Secretary Bessent is blocking its release – and he denies it's even something Treasury should be investigating.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Given the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it's clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated. As should anybody involved in Epstein's trafficking ring.

This goes beyond a total compliance breakdown. It’s impossible to believe the decisions that led to the coverup of Epstein's financial transactions regarding his sex trafficking never reached the very top.

Evidence shows JPMC severely underreported Epstein’s suspicious transactions to the U.S. government for decades, potentially in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws.
