Trump attacking an ABC reporter & calling the Epstein files a β€œDemocratic hoax” is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

This is information control - the β€œI” of my BITE Model of Authoritarian Control - and it’s one of the most common tactics used to keep people from thinking for themselves

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

That was
"Lesson 1" in my short UCMJ class at officer basic training.
"Lesson 2" Courts marshal do not have a "jury of your peers" as officers in the pannel the defendant may be known to you but judge honestly on the law and evidence.
Summary: integrity and honor was demanded.

There is no debate --

The notion of one conviction count one IMPEACHMENT can be a slippery slope approach. Impeach conviction count 1; Impeachment-2 counts 2-3; impeachment-3 counts 4,5,6;
Then for all his companies convicted of fraud and suffering bankruptcy and mismanagement demonstrating EXECUTIVE incompetence...

Today, the process can be less theater and build on convictions.
Like courts that have a jury convict a murderer; once convicted trials and deliberations can focus on consequences.
I like the notion of one conviction count one IMPEACHMENT. The subtext is do we want a felon as POTUS in the WH

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

70's and 80's I would listen to outrage radio on clear channel AM radio driving late in the dark of night on AZ, NV, CO, NM, WY, OR highways to stayawake. When the layers of BS began to sound sane I would pull over unrole my bed roll and sleep.

Legal experts! Please find law and history to support the judge making a bench judgment against ICE with a 4-10x bonus $$$ to address malicious incompetence.

They cite a law that enumerates titles for professionals. It is more than nurses.
Given nurses are licensed after passing examinations they are.
Call your favorite congress critters and have them legislate a correction to the omission.
Reasons: greed, jealousy IGNORANCE and misogny.

I do hope she recorded the pressure calls. With luck she won't need nursing care.

What degrees not being classified as "professional" means for student loans Under the newly revamped definition of β€œprofessional degree” programs, nursing and other key healthcare jobs have been excluded.

It is a money grab.

Nursing is no longer considered a 'professional degree.' What changed? The Trump administration's definition of a "professional degree" may not include nursing. Here's what the term means and who could be impacted.

Wtf.
