“I tell you, the press has eaten this thing up.”

The much awaited Trump-Mamdani meeting left everyone surprised.

Here are some of the highlights from their press conference.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

The world is fundamentally shifting — and Canada has a generational opportunity to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more sustainable future. I’m here to meet with global leaders who want to build that future with us.

Nursing Excluded as 'Professional' Degree By Department of Education The Trump administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill" excludes nursing from graduate degree programs deemed as 'professional.' The move impacts loan funding, healthcare delivery, and patient care access...

The Dept of Education no longer classifies Nursing or Accounting degrees, among others, as "professional" when considering reimbursement for federal loans.

Two professions where shortages are rampant. Ain't gonna get better with this!

you’ll never believe the newest meme pair for “Find someone who looks at you like…”

“Scientific orthodoxy“ is not a thing. Either there’s evidence (proof, data) or there’s not

Trump, Mamdani have shockingly chummy White House Q&A

Welp, so much for those BS Fox stories about how people are leaving NY

“Embarrassing” and “horrifying”: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page "The best way I can put it is it feels like we're on a hijacked airplane."

Earlier this week, a new page titled “Vaccines and Autism” appeared on the CDC website. The agency's employees are not happy about it.

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

Can Chinese-Made Buses Be Hacked? Norway Drove One Down a Mine to Find Out The growing prevalence of Chinese technology in Europe’s infrastructure is stoking security concerns across the region.

Connected items are vulnerable to intrusion. We’ve known this for a long time. What’s more interesting is how threat perceptions have changed so drastically. www.wsj.com/business/can...

Did everyone forget he had a stroke? That’s literal brain damage. It’s an invisible injury with huge changes.

This is damage that cannot be undone. A new administration can take it down, but like the Wakefield paper appearing in the Lancet and still affecting us two decades later despite being retracted, this text will never not have appeared on cdc.gov.

This is of a piece with the campaign US diplomats are waging against EU regulations. In both cases, Trump has simply rented out the authority of the US to his tech bro funders, who use this power to battle against urgently needed regulation. The tech bros are getting what they paid for.

The Republican thing is unraveling right now.

It's law now.
The bill allows for redactions about Epstein’s victims for ongoing federal investigations, but DOJ cannot withhold information due to “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.”
This is a long awaited step towards justice for their victims.

White House drafts order directing Justice Department to sue states that pass AI regulations The draft order comes after Republicans in Congress failed to pass a federal ban on state AI regulation, as more lawmakers raise concerns about the technology.

Breaking news: The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would direct the Justice Department to sue states that pass laws regulating artificial intelligence, according to a copy reviewed by The Post.

WATCH-- @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on his upcoming White House meeting with Trump: "My team reached out because of the commitment that I made to New Yorkers, that I would be willing to meet with anyone and everyone, so long as it was to the benefit of 8.5 million people who call the city home."

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center

we're really not prepared for what's coming

I am shocked, shocked to learn that a pageant owned by Donald Trump from 1996 to 2015 is rigged

This is all John Roberts’ fault Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

John Roberts once promised to be like an umpire. He charmed both senators and the media, and for 20 years, was portrayed as a moderate institutionalist.

But today, it's become clear that the promise was a lie.

We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up.

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.
