Stochaistic terrorism is still terrorism.
BREAKING:
Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.
This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

GOP's contempt for their own constituents:
Trump's Transportation Secretary posts new video on his plans to improve air travel:
'Let's bring civility and manners back. Are you dressing with respect? Are you saying please and thank you in general? The golden age of travel begins with you.'

Host: The Department of Education no longer considers nursing as a professional degree, a move critics warn could shrink an already strained workforce. The reclassification will limit the loan and loan forgiveness options available to students in those nursing programs.

The safest bet in Washington is that so-called "moderate" Republicans will always fold to Trump.
They never stand up to him when it counts.
This summer, he asked them to support the biggest health care cuts in American history, and they passed it with glee.

Republicans have an ongoing campaign to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, oppose universal health care coverage, and support diverting funding from public education. This resolution only furthers that campaign.
Before lawmakers rushed to the airport for a Thanksgiving break, the House passed a GOP resolution 'denouncing the horrors of socialism.' The House also passed that in 2023.
