Disrespectful and insulting.

According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree.

The bottom line? The entire nation, including Illinois, needs more nurses — this decision makes it even harder than ever for them to get the support they need.
Trump Administration Moves to Exclude Nursing From Professional Degrees, Set New Student Loan Limits
The proposal has drawn pushback from the nursing community, which argues the reclassification could limit students’ financial access to advanced nursing degrees.

Historians have discovered there were presidents before Trump who *also* engaged in frequent hand shaking yet they didn't always have bruises and bandages on the backside of their hands.

Even Sleepy Joe Biden, who was perpetually just seconds away from dying of old age, came out unscathed. Really!
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Every ICE thug today gearing up to hunt brown people in the city of New Orleans can eat an entire sack of stale, unsalted dicks. They and the administration they serve are displaying our fallen nation as an ungrateful, soulless shitpile of gutless, frightened race-hate. We are forever shamed.

Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

There’s no way you believe Trump puts “God and country first.” There’s no fucking way you believe that. And shame on you for selling your soul to someone who’s turned an America that was once that shining city on a hill into an America that scares immigrants and tells them to stay the fuck out.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.
