President Donald Trump suggested that six Democratic lawmakers who put out a video urging military members to “refuse illegal orders” were guilty of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!’ in a stunning Thursday morning Truth Social post.

The video, which was shared by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), featured appearances from herself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) — all of whom are veterans of the military or intelligence community.

Trump Supports Calls To Hang Political Opponents

President Trump is supporting calls to hang opposition lawmakers. Six Democrats in Congress called upon members of the military to disobey illegal orders to murder alleged drug traffickers on the high seas. Trump responded by posting that these...

What a crock of shit. When I went into the navy in 1972 (and before the oath of enlistment was actually administered) it was actually explained to us what our oaths meant, and what the limits were. It was VERY carefully explained to us that we were under NO obligation to obey unlawful orders during our military "careers". That if we were in doubt, we were to refuse and let the military's judicial system work it out. And I can remember being grateful that they did that before we made such a momentous decision. I served under Nixon, and if that POS had ordered us to do the illegal kind of shit Trump is requiring today's military to do, I'd have been sitting in a brig, subsisting on bread and water. And I have no doubt that today's military has plenty of individuals of good character and moral clarity who would respond in the same way. Donald Fucking Trump can make all the stupid blanket statements he wants. There are still Americans who will not only refuse to do his dirty work, they will fight back. The only seditious asshole who needs to be executed in the current Whiner In Chief.....

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 Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it sets about implementing various measures regarding student loans laid out in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill."

The move has sparked significant uproar among nurses and nursing groups, with the American Nurses Association saying, as reported by Nursing World, that "limiting nurses’ access to funding for graduate education threatens the very foundation of patient care."

....

The change will impact hundreds of thousands of students—there are over 260,000 students currently enrolled in entry-level Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs and around 42,000 enrolled in Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), according to data collected by the American Nurses Association.

Many have warned the move will lead to a significant drop in the number of nurses in the country, impacting health care services nationwide.

...

In the One Big Beautiful Bill, the Grad PLUS program, designed to help graduate and professional students cover educational expenses, is being eliminated, while Parent PLUS loans, student loans available for parents of dependent undergraduate students, are being capped.

These measures were brought in with the intention of creating a "new and simplified" Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP)—whereby annual loans for new borrowers were capped at $20,500 for graduate students and $50,000 for professional students.

What People Are Saying​

Patricia (Polly) Pittman, a professor of health policy and management and director of the Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity at George Washington University, told Newsweek: "There is no question that this is a gut punch for nursing. It is unconscionable that in a period when government should be focused on finding ways to retain licensed nurses in the field, the cap on loans represents a major barrier to continued education. Education, including from [Licensed Practice Nurse (LPN)] to ADN to BSN, and then beyond to become an advanced practice nurse, is the single best way to retain nurses, especially in rural and underserved communities. At a symbolic level, it is also deeply insulting to nurses who have fought so hard to be recognized for their critical contributions to health care."

Olga Yakusheva, a professor of nursing and business of health at Johns Hopkins University, told Newsweek: "The broader impact will be increased shortages of primary care, especially in areas with significant physician shortages. This could mean longer wait times and less time with your medical provider; as well as higher workloads for physicians. The strain on the educational system can lead to long-term reductions in the domestically educated nursing workforce, increasing labor costs and a growing reliance on foreign-educated nurses.

Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, president of the American Nurses Association said in a statement, per Nursing World: "Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care workforce and the backbone of our nation’s health system. At a time when health care in our country faces a historic nurse shortage and rising demands, limiting nurses’ access to funding for graduate education threatens the very foundation of patient care. In many communities across the country, particularly in rural and underserved areas, advanced practice registered nurses ensure access to essential, high-quality care that would otherwise be unavailable. We urge the Department of Education to recognize nursing as the essential profession it is and ensure access to loan programs that make advanced nursing education possible."

Antonia Villarruel, professor and dean of nursing at the University of Pennsylvania, told Newsweek: "In today's health and health care landscape, nurses are needed everywhere; not only because of their holistic perspectives on health, but because of their deep science-based knowledge and ability to apply to evidence based solutions—to life and death situations—and everything in between.

"Not including nursing as a professional degree is yet another barrier to nursing education. Restricting access to guaranteed federal loans will severely limit the number of highly educated providers to provide care in this complex environment. This impacts nurse preparation at every level—and especially graduate nursing education. Not including nursing as a professional degree is more than an affront to the nation's most trusted profession—it is serious blow to the health of our nation."

j/k that won't do shit to bring down healthcare costs, it will only make healthcare worse, but more profitable for big business. Which is really what is important here.
 
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is demanding investigation into expenditures at Kennedy Center for the Arts. Trump declared himself chairman, fired the board and replaced them with unqualified toadies. Ticket sales have fallen off a cliff and many artists refuse to perform there. Yet expenses have skyrocketed as it has turned into another Trumper grift. The new chair pays himself a high salary and hired a pal at $15,000 a month as speechwriter. How many speeches does chair of Kennedy Center make? Husband of failed Republican candidate and prominent 2020 election denier Kari Lake is paid $10,000 a month to run social media. There are huge bills for champagne and charcuterie.

The new board is thinking of renaming it Trump Center which right now looks appropriate.

My personal favorite is MSW (Social Work) not being a professional degree in a time where two of the largest problems of our time are affordability (poverty) and gun violence (mental health). Sure let’s restrict loan amounts for people that actually work on those things.

Between this and the message of toxic masculinity in the military I’d go as far to say they are now actively making gun violence worse on purpose.
