If the Trump and the GOP thought that the more the public learns about the reconciliation bill the more it will be popular … they wouldn’t be flooding the waves with distraction about new tariffs , international studnet bans, etc.

Saddened to hear about the passing of Mario Biagioli, with whom I had the privilege to spend the 2019-2020 year as @casbsstanford.bsky.social Fellows. Incredibly smart and funny, Mario was a great scholar and human being. My deepest condolences to his family. www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/news/memoria...

I was only able to attend medical school and become a #Geriatrician because of GRAD Plus loans - and paid the federal government around $200k in interest on those loans on top of principal. Gun, meet foot.

Books about Trump 1.0 presidency came out when Biden was president and they got a few days of media attention and everyone moved on. People are overreacting to Taper’s book and the news cycles it generated.

I visited the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima today. A reminder of why humanity used to care so deeply about stopping wars from happening and why the collapse of the post-WW2 order is both sad and scary.
