2026 - I get $70 less a month Social Security because increase in benefits does not outweigh increase in Medicare cost.

Completely backwards. We need more nurses and nurse practitioners. The government is making it harder and more expensive to enter the profession. We should be removing barriers & encouraging people into nursing not pushing them away!
EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES IS OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHOULD BE DONE!

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

My two cents:
If the TX ruling stands & no other states grab seats for GOP, Prop 50 loses its fairness foundation & should return to old districts. Messy, but fairness matters. Remember: everything Trump touches gets broken & costs more. If he hadn’t pushed TX, none of this chaos would exist.

Speaking of discouraging… response on my post on Rep. Young Kim’s FB post on SNAP and my replying Jesus didn’t ask the hungry for papers to prove citizenship…

If trump wanted the Epstein Files released he could order the DoJ to do it right now. He doesn’t have to wait for the House, the Senate or anyone to vote on them. He can release them right now.

Trump does Epstein U-turn as House Republicans prepare to spurn him
Before the reversal, even some House GOP leaders were mulling whether to support the effort to release DOJ files dealing with the late sex offender.

Pam Bondi has the files. Release? She'll be in charge. Not gonna see anything incriminating.

Trump’s new definition of “RINO”:
If you don’t obey him 100% of the time, even if you’ve voted with him 90%+, you’re suddenly “not a real Republican.”
In Trump’s GOP, loyalty to the country or party principles doesn’t matter. Loyalty to him is the only test. Lesson learned Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Estimates say this name change will cost $2 billion for a name I hate.
Why embrace a name that centers war instead of prevention and diplomacy? We should be funding veterans’ care, cybersecurity, disaster response, & conflict prevention not spending $$$ to rebrand USA as a WARMONGERING nation.

He bragged about grabbing women.
He bragged about walking in on teenage pageant contestants.
A jury found him liable for sexual assault.
Now he’s desperate to keep the files sealed.
Tell me again he’s innocent.
And someone tell me how the hell does he still have 30%+ support?????

Democrats didn’t cave. They set a trap. They opened the House and believe me they opened the floodgates to the GOP owning misery if they don’t listen to Democrats especially on healthcare!!!

I'm back to the same argument I have had for years over Joe Manchin. We needed him and now we will NEVER have a single vote for anything from West Virginia and he helped us keep the majority. Few are practical in our Democratic party. And.... eventually we would have been blamed for continued chaos.

Maybe (just maybe) Senate Democrats voting to end the shutdown are playing chess, not checkers. Forcing the House to stay in session, keeping them working, and giving House Dems time to hold the line and get Adelita Grijalva sworn in…

A 50-year mortgage might sound good to Trump because lower payments, easier to qualify. But not so fast. You’ll pay far more in interest, build equity at a snail’s pace, and risk going underwater if prices drop just like 2008. Short-term relief, long-term regret.

When the Democrats lose an election, they debate endlessly how they can appeal to more voters. When Republicans lose an election, they think of ways to keep more people from voting.
