He is keeping poorer families out of these professions. It’s modern day red-lining.
Screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave on X.com. The tweet says that the Trump administration has excluded nursing, physical therapy, and public health from being classified as “professional” degrees under new student-loan rules. These programs will now be considered “graduate,” with loan limits capped at $20,500 instead of $50,000. Below the text are two images: a portrait of Donald Trump and the seal of the U.S. Department of Education.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Over at @newsoneofficial.bsky.social, we are running a collaborative newsroom with students in Howard University's Cathy Hughes School of Communications.

They have been writing some amazing stories, like this one by Dru Strand.
I’m A Student On Food Stamps. My Future Depends On Congress
There are thousands of students like me who are juggling jobs, classes, food insecurity, and now a shutdown that threatens to pull the rug out from under us.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Find your local pantry and give what you are comfortable with! This is what I can do this week.

Every can, every dollar, every volunteer hour makes a real difference for a family who is likely already struggling.

Please consider this a personal challenge to join me in whatever way you can. 💛

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

I was never a fan of Kimmel (haven’t watched a single show since his shitty “Man Show” days), but we all know this is fascism. Plain and simple. He didn’t deserve it.

The last two people Trump got fired:

1. Stephen Colbert, for telling the truth about him.

2. Dr. Erika McEntarfer, for telling the truth about his horrible job statistics

from today’s post. keep this in mind as you listen to Donny's panicked blather about the ever-growing list of authors (including Biden's autopen) who wrote the Epstein 'hoax' —
please read the whole thing, thanks!
link is here: bit.ly/3GPAZGq
(and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
reporter: “you said you have not been briefed on the Epstein Files, or your name does not appear in the Epstein Files. but doesn’t the AG have to tell you if your name—” Donny: “well, I haven’t been overly interested in it. you know, it’s something— it’s a hoax that’s been built up way beyond proportion. I can say this, those files were run by the worst scum on earth. they were run by, uh, Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the autopen. those files were run for four years, by those people. if they had anything, I assume they would have released it. the whole thing is a hoax. they ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files. if they had something, they would have released— now, they can easily put something in the file that’s a phony.” hoo-boy. let’s see if we can parse this lunatic’s shit-blizzard of tortured logic. first of all, President Pudding Cup doesn’t know what’s in the files, because he’s ‘not overly interested’ in them—but he does know that whatever’s in them is a hoax. but he also knows that nothing incriminating is in them, because if there were, Biden would have released them. but maybe there is fake stuff, because it would be easy to do. Donny can’t stick to one story. notice how the cast of characters keeps changing. last week, Obama and Hillary were in the mix. this week, they’re gone, replaced by Merrick Garland and—get this—Joe Biden’s autopen. how the fuck does that work? how did the autopen help write the Epstein Files? can we get Comer Fudd to subpoena the autopen? I’ll bet it’s got stories to tell that would set your ears on fire. never lose sight of the fact that Donny ran on a promise to release the Epstein Files—a promise he swore to keep, right up until the moment Pam Bondi took him aside and said ‘shut the fuck up about the Files already, your name is all over that shit.’ that’s when the Files magically went from real to a hoax.

from today’s post, on the stunning claims in Donny's ever-shifting story about why he broke up with Jeffrey Epstein —
please read the whole thing, thanks!
link is here: bit.ly/4ocxpXx
(and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
here’s Donny, digging himself deeper on Air Force One as he returned to the States yesterday. Reporter: “Mr. President, one of those stolen persons, did that include Virginia Giuffre?” Donny: “I think so. I think that was one of the people. yeah. he stole her. and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.” oh, so it’s just a couple of sleazy middle-aged degenerates, bickering because one of them ‘stole’ a teenage girl from the other, as if she were just property — as will happen when everyone in the story fucking sucks. but wait — did Donny say it was Virginia Guiffre? the same Virginia Guiffre who was 16 at the time she worked for Donny and was then trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell and forced to provide ‘sexual services’ for Epstein and his piece of shit pals for the next two-and-a-half-years? so, Donny had teenage girls working for him at his skeevy Florida golf motel, and he and his dead pedo bestie fought over who got to ‘own’ them — and Donny thinks this story makes him look like the hero. first of all, holy shit. and second of all, holy shit.

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

BREAKING: House Oversight Democrats have just successfully voted to subpoena the Epstein files. Three Republicans joined in support.

This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
