I’ve started watching the West Wing again because I need to watch some functional government.

IDIOTIC. Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence said there’s no evidence Iran was close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Trump has stupidly, needlessly and dangerously bombed Iran under false pretenses. This makes America and its allies less safe, not more.

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

Trump forced to concede defeat Maine's governor promised she'd see Trump in court. She just declared victory.

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

Which federal crime did the President commit with this statement?

Was it 26 usc 7217, which prohibits the President or his aides from directing any tax enforcement action?

Or was it 26 usc 6103, which prohibits any government official from disclosing an ongoing tax proceeding?

Maybe both!

Opinion | Tennessee Senate wants to kick undocumented kids out of school A divided Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that all children in this country, including undocumented ones, should have access to public education.

OPINION by @julito77.bsky.social:

"It’s fundamentally cruel to turn away children from public schools based on their immigration status, but the Tennessee Senate advanced a bill that would let its schools do just that."

The President’s Propagandists Trump’s top officials lied through their teeth about his trade war. Why? Because that’s what he hired them to do.

This brings to mind the old "I can also stand in front of the Kremlin and yell 'President Reagan is doing a terrible job!" joke.

'Even Mike Pence knows': Internet erupts after Trump’s former VP skewers his new tariffs Shortly after President Donald Trump issued Wednesday’s announcement of new tariffs, four Senate Republicans joined Democrats to extend a lopsided bipartisan rebuke to his trade policy. The Senate adopted a resolution by a 51 to 48 vote to block his proposed tariffs on imports from Canada, a longtime US ally. Now, former Vice President Mike Pence is further infuriating Trump supporters by calling out his new tariffs as β€œa tax.” Pence cited a statement from his Advancing American Freedom Foundation describing the tariffs as β€œthe largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history,” capable of spoiling β€œAmerica’s golden age before it begins.” β€œThe Trump Tariff Tax will cost American families more than $3,500 per year,” Pence's foundation claimed, adding, β€œThe median American family earns about 101,000 a year. A new $3,500 tax would easily erase three years’ worth of pay raises for most families." READ MORE: 'Cracks are starting to form': 4 GOP senators join Dems to deal huge blow to Trump's power The statement quickly drew howls of fury from Trump supporters who believe Pence undermined Trump’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election when he refused to support Trump and his β€œgaggle of crackpot lawyers” who asked him β€œto literally reject votes” at the Jan. 6 certification proceeding in 2020. One supporter compared Pence’s tariff-related share on X as β€œtreason” because he owes Trump β€œhis loyalty,” while hundreds of others accused him of betrayal. Many more notable X observers welcomed Pence as one of few Republican voices speaking openly against the destructive tariffs, even as Trump’s announcement sank stock prices and tumbled markets within minutes on Wednesday. FamiliesUSA Deputy Senior Policy Director Ben Anderson seized on Pence’s post, pointing out that β€œeven Mike Pence knows Trump's tariffs are taxing poor and middle-income families to give to the rich, and extort American businesses to establish cronyism and oligarchy. News anchor Lawrence O’ Donnell referenced the post as an example that, β€œTrump Republicans now support the biggest tax increase in history,” and agreed that β€œYes, it’s not just a tax. It’s the biggest one in history.” READ MORE: 'Stocks getting destroyed': Investors panic after Trump tariffs 'made the stock market tank' Until today, the vast majority of GOP members have supported Trump’s multiple tariffs, or they have refused to publicly speak against them. It was no surprise, then, that reporters like New York Times bestselling author and NPR reporter Steve Inskeep and Sandiego Union-Tribune reporter Tom Mallory were quick to document the growing chink in Republican unity. Still more X users expressed gratitude to Pence, β€œfor being a conservative and supporting free markets,” while others were more grudging in their appreciation. Pence spent most of his tenure as Trump’s VP fully endorsing the most controversial of Trump’s first-term initiatives. β€œI HATE when I have to agree with Mike Pence,” said one user, echoing a long roster of similar admissions. Other commenters, including β€œUseful Idiot” author and reporter S.V. DΓ‘te, worried Pence was working his way onto Trump’s hit list, saying β€œHope the VP doesn’t have tattoos or he’s El Salvador bound.” READ MORE: 'What are you doing?'
