as someone on tacrolimus goddamn this is terrifying
When Hannah’s pharmacy began filling her tacrolimus prescription with a generic version, the lung transplant patient didn't know something very important:

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

The nation is facing a nursing shortage, and Trump’s Department of Education now says nursing isn’t a “professional degree,” cutting students off from federal grants and loans. What?!
This decision carries more than a whiff of sexism, given that 88 percent of nurses are women.

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.
