Downgrading essential degrees isn’t a small change. It means fewer students can afford teaching, nursing, social work & PA programs. Communities, patients, and classrooms feel the pain first.

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Even though Trump is trying to bury it, real people feel what’s coming. We’re either already in a recession or staring straight at one.

Trump (after vilifying an entire ethnicity and country, horribly denigrating an American born congresswoman, and insulting an American governor), “Anybody else?”
Everybody else:

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

I know everyone hates fundraising asks, but to be honest, we’ve got two days left in November and we’re still $10,000 away from where we need to be.
If you can afford it, can you chip in to make sure we’re able to educate, engage, and mobilize young voters?

Hegseth’s argument is “If I say terrorist enough times, anything I do is justified.” That’s not national security. Mass murder isn’t “kinetic effectiveness.” It’s a man trying to normalize attacking a country. If this were real intel, they wouldn’t be broadcasting it this loudly.

To be clear—the shooting happened and was a tragedy. But the shooter was a CIA ally who suffered from mental health issues for things he did during the Trump administration and the Trump administration wanted him in the US. To use this event as a cause célèbre is a massive fraud.

The DC shooting is a Reichstag Fire.
Trump granted the man asylum this spring. Trump agreed with the program that brought him here in 2021. There was full vetting. Trump’s DC op is why this happened.
Now it’s being used to end all immigration from nonwhite countries. And undo the Biden presidency.

The Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House this week underwent thorough vetting by counterterrorism authorities before entering the U.S., according to people with direct knowledge of the case.
Counterterrorism officials vetted Guard shooting suspect before he entered U.S.
Individuals with knowledge of the process that Rahmanullah Lakanwal went through contradicted senior Trump officials’ claim that he was not scrutinized.
