House Republicans have a plan that would force schools to reimburse the government for a share of the federal loans their students don't repay.

All true!

They’re just now figuring that out?? The Election Day bomb threats that nobody talks about was the first clue.

Fulbright board resigns as it claims political interference by Trump administration https://www.ft.com/content/0a47adb9-bf20-45ca-aa97-72d17f674eae

It can happen here. It is happening here.

My campaign office in Rogers Park is a safe place that welcomes everyone, EXCEPT ICE. We are here to help. If you're in the area and need clothes, food, or any other resources, come in and take them, no questions asked. And if you hear about ICE in the neighborhood, let me know. We'll be there.

Rounding up migrants in Home Depot parking lots who are looking for work. Rounding up migrant children in school who are trying to learn. Rounding up migrants in courthouses who are following our laws. Doesn’t sound like criminals, murderers or rapists to me. Sounds like racism.

Of course Trump is yet to say anything about "90 deals in 90 days" = "18 deals, whenever", so we have no idea what official White House policy is. (I wonder if any of the 18/90 countries know.)

We will not cave.

By Mike Johnson’s own definition he should B “Tarred & feathered”too 4Not doing his job 2immediately impeach Trump 4ALL his crimes of: blatant corruption, Constitutional & human rights violations, bribery, defiance of courts, illegal deportations, circumvention of laws 2send Nat. Guard 2Los Angeles!

What purpose can RFK possibly offer for cutting funding for Medical Research for such things as Cancer, Alzheimer’s etc?!?

UPDATE: The lawsuit, which says Trump's deployment order was unconstitutional, comes as the Department of Defense has mobilized 700 Marines for Los Angeles. via @kqednews.kqed.org

👏👏👏

Real conversations, real concerns, real New Mexicans. Grateful to have their voice as a part of this campaign.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles will cost $134 MILLION. That’s enough to buy over 39 million meals for the hungry. His military parade will cost $45 million, equivalent to another 13 million meals. Trump’s fine if you go hungry, as long as he gets what he wants.

I’ve noticed this myself 👇

We are governed by fools

Every interaction with an ice agent, needs to begin and end with: Remember Nuremberg...

Reminder: The pending tax and budget bill would *vastly* expand the enforcement and detention capacity of the federal government. What's happening sporadically in cities like Los Angeles would be carried out on an unprecedented scale.

Dumb question, dumb answer

As big a brain as Stephen Hawking had little time for this kind of thinking. In a 2004 Q&A with The New York Times Magazine, the physicist was asked what his IQ was. “I have no idea,” he replied. “People who boast about their IQ are losers.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

From @shannonbond.bsky.social The blow up marks the end of an alliance between the president and the billionaire that lasted far longer than many observers expected.
