Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

Screen shot of nyt headline. It reads, “not just more babies: these republicans want more parents at home. As for the Trump administration shrinks federal child care programs, republicans are backing polices they hope will allow more parents to scale back at work.

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens.

Fixed it for you, NYT.

'I am not afraid of you,' Columbia student says of Trump after release from ICE Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested by ICE agents following his citizenship interview, has been ordered released while his case proceeds.

Pete Hegseth’s Patriotic Duty Is to Resign His incompetence is putting America’s security at risk.

It's long past time for Pete Hegseth to do the right thing for his country, and resign.

I think that instead of giving birth American women should focus on strength and resistance training.

Under Pete Hegseth, Chaos Prevails at the Pentagon The defense secretary’s inner circle is in disarray, and distrust is growing among civil servants and senior military officials.

In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.

It's not just about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

It's about due process and the rule of law in our nation.

BREAKING: Early this morning in a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the deportation of any Venezuelan men held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center in northern Texas under the Alien Enemies Act.

We'll keep fighting to defend due process.

Trump ready to ‘move on’ from Ukraine peace talks if no progress, Rubio says Rubio’s remarks appear to reflect the president’s frustration with the difficulty of achieving peace in Ukraine after Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.

Stern message from Rubio: If Russia doesn’t agree to a peace deal, America will walk away from Ukraine.

That’ll teach ‘em! And to think people said Trump was in Putin’s pocket. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

I’m not a donut person.

I’m glad you’re a strong supporter of PBS. But your replies read arrogantly. And in these economic times, you shouldn’t feel free to dictate how people spend their money.

And support comes in many forms, not just financially. That’s all I have to say.

I meant in a financial sense. I am not currently a monthly donor but will definitely work it in my budget. I donate to the ACLU and some other local organizations. While I wish I had infinite money to donate to all the important causes, it’s just not a reality.

I fail to understand your reply.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

All with an average donation of $21.

THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot.

Gone.

Annihilated.

Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration.

Ever.

Elections have consequences

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Oh no my tea 😢

This is ducking insanity. To pose for a selfie when you’re arresting human beings? What is wrong with these people. Inhumane, depraved individuals.
