I long for a boring presidential administration.

I played in the NFL, which, I promise you, has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have, and where cost really isn’t an issue.

You don’t do MRIs on a whim.
I agree it’s a bit unusual. But I would think the president has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have and the cost isn’t really an issue.

Trump is reclassifying a ton of degrees to no longer be professional degrees.

This will create changes to student loan eligibility, hurt educational institutions & devastate middle-class & economically challenged students & their families.

Every time Trump does a TV interview, My brain goes into shutdown mode: a kind of protective mode, because I cannot process that what I am hearing is from a man elected president of the U.S.

There is no doubt at all that the Trump Administration spent the emergency USDA SNAP fund and they may have even spent the regular SNAP funds.

In this article they claim USDA would have to dig in couches for something that isn’t there.

Where is the SNAP money?

Full SNAP benefits start to go out even as the Trump administration appeals
A federal judge ordered the government to fully fund food aid by Friday. The Trump administration's appeal was denied, so it's asking appealed, saying it's up to Congress to fund SNAP.

Yikes, Trump on CNN right now speaking at some GOP breakfast; his eyes and his face look like 100 miles of bad road rather than the usual 10.

How did @propublica.org reporter @ericumansky.bsky.social learn that the Trump administration had just gone ahead and made it significantly harder for male vets with breast cancer to get coverage? This crucial info was not made public. Read his 🧵 for the details👇
One night recently, I got a Signal message

Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo?

I said yes (duh). Then, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.

The memo shows how the VA is making access to health coverage header for just one group:

Male vets w/ breast cancer….

"THE PRESIDENT IS UNWELL" New Countdown podcast drops at midnight: "The President is unhinged. He is Unwell. The President is Unwell.” Representative Madeleine Dean with perhaps the most important 11 words in the past decade.

She and Gov. Pritzker alone address Trump's two health crises.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Wasted my Monday watching as a deranged former RN (!!) went on in comments about how vaccines are bad, and “privilege” was the word I kept thinking.
They don’t, it’s also why more and more people are becoming anti-vax. They grew up privileged to not fucking die so they just think that disease was never actually that bad besides the bubonic plague

Almost goes without saying, but if this happened under a Democratic president, there would be at least a week of headlines and GOP lawmakers would demand hearings.
