I am honestly sick of hearing “Elon Musk said.” I have zero interest in any advice or recommendations from that selfish prick. Whatever conspiracy theory he is pushing , do the opposite of it.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care. It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

politico.comRepublican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday professionOne GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

This is Donut. He wanted to pop out and say hi. Wondering where your personal chauffeur is. Said you can borrow his, if you'd like. 13/10

"The youth clubs are self-described white nationalist activist groups for young men 18 and younger who train in combat sports and participate in extreme right propaganda activities" What could possibly go wrong ? Will HHS focus on these groups ?🤨😤

The president is lying. Existing home sales fell 5.9% February to March. Slowest pace Since 2009.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Reporter: “There was a slowdown as it relates to home sales in the month of March, the slowest pace since 2009…Is that an economic indicator that concerns you about the broader U.S. Economy?” Trump: “No, they had very good numbers on housing today.”

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Pope Francis, history’s first Latin American pontiff who charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change, has died Monday. He was 88.

So the pope died hours after the meeting with this hateful man 💀. Last week, the College Football Playoff Championship Trophy broke apart after he touched it. Everything that this man touches breaks or dies. Those are all evil signs . #PopeFrancis

Vice President JD Vance met with Pope Francis on Sunday, in a visit that the Vatican said included a brief exchange of Easter wishes. The meeting came after the pope criticized the Trump administration’s deportation policies and urged Catholics to reject anti-immigrant narratives. nyti.ms/42GySLZ

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."
