Regardless of one’s political views, this policy simply makes no sense vis a vis doctors. There are roughly 15K docs on these visas, mostly working rural/underserved areas where Medicaid cuts will hit hardest. How will this help?

Russia attacks a NATO member non-combatant nation with 19 drones and the best Trump can come up with is this: “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones?” Trump asked in a brief post on Truth Social. “Here we go!” What’s with it? An act of WAR, asshat!
