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 whoβve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if theyβd just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

Opinion | Tennessee Senate wants to kick undocumented kids out of school

OPINION by @julito77.bsky.social:
"Itβs 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."

'Even Mike Pence knows': Internet erupts after Trumpβs former VP skewers his new tariffs
Shortly after President Donald Trump issued Wednesdayβs 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 βa tax.β
Pence cited a statement from his Advancing American Freedom Foundation describing the tariffs as βthe largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history,β capable of spoiling βAmericaβs golden age before it begins.β
βThe Trump Tariff Tax will cost American families more than $3,500 per year,β Pence's foundation claimed, adding, βThe median American family earns about 101,000 a year. A new $3,500 tax would easily erase three yearsβ worth of pay raises for most families."

The statement quickly drew howls of fury from Trump supporters who believe Pence undermined Trumpβs attempt to overthrow the 2020 election when he refused to support Trump and his βgaggle of crackpot lawyersβ who asked him βto literally reject votesβ at the Jan. 6 certification proceeding in 2020.
One supporter compared Penceβs tariff-related share on X as βtreasonβ because he owes Trump βhis loyalty,β 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 Trumpβs announcement sank stock prices and tumbled markets within minutes on Wednesday. FamiliesUSA Deputy Senior Policy Director Ben Anderson seized on Penceβs post, pointing out that βeven 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 Oβ Donnell referenced the post as an example that, βTrump Republicans now support the biggest tax increase in history,β and agreed that βYes, itβs not just a tax. Itβs the biggest one in history.β

Until today, the vast majority of GOP members have supported Trumpβs 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, βfor being a conservative and supporting free markets,β while others were more grudging in their appreciation. Pence spent most of his tenure as Trumpβs VP fully endorsing the most controversial of Trumpβs first-term initiatives.
βI HATE when I have to agree with Mike Pence,β said one user, echoing a long roster of similar admissions.
Other commenters, including βUseful Idiotβ author and reporter S.V. DΓ‘te, worried Pence was working his way onto Trumpβs hit list, saying βHope the VP doesnβt have tattoos or heβs El Salvador bound.β
