Here’s the deal about student loans. They’re not “like all loans”. 🧵
1) Students usually don’t start payments until after graduating. Most loan types accrue interest during that time. 🧵1/
@judgeglock 💡VA Disability also pays for injury stemming from service (e.g. Cancer, tinnitus, joint disease, nerve damage, ptsd, respiratory issues).
The ability to run around is irrelevant. 100% rating does not mean 100% disabled. It’s more severity of impact to long term quality of life.
Pete Ricketts recruited a “Democrat” to run in the Senate race as a spoiler candidate. His guy? Pastor Bill Forbes, a HUGE anti-abortion activist in NE.
Some highlights about Pastor Bill:
-Forbes promotes ordinances would make it illegal not just to perform an abortion, but to "aid or abet" one, meaning someone could be sued or fined for simply driving a woman to an abortion clinic or donating to an abortion fund.
-Forbes worked with a movement whose ordinances were explicitly modeled on the Texas bounty hunter law that let private citizens sue anyone helping a woman access abortion for $10,000 or more per lawsuit
-Forbes pushes anti-Muslim talking points
-Forbes also worked with local hate group NFFV to promote the movie the Mindpolluters that portrays public schools as corrupting kids’ minds, especially on sexual and moral issues,and frames educators as dangerous or deceptive.
Pay attention to the timing.
@Hunter_Eagleman Go learn about how unanimous consent works. Then think about why a guy like Burchett who didn’t even sign the discharge petition could use unanimous consent to kill the bill.
@davenut66 @allenanalysis Actually the chair rejected the motion. It was inappropriate procedurally & for this type of bill. A full vote should be held on the record. It was a stunt to change the narrative & people are falling for it. Think about why a guy who didn’t sign the petition put it up for UC.
TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts state website for SNAP benefits is now displaying an alert warning that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.”
The site also notes that people “may have your benefits cut starting in November because of changes Congressional Republicans and President Trump enacted in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’”
@CreasonJana Actually. We’re structured as a Republic with a Representative Democracy governing model – they aren’t mutually exclusive.
Our *type* of republic is both constitutional & federal (but not unitary). If you want to get technical “Constitutional Republic” isn’t in the Constitution.
@BasedMikeLee Cool vocab but you’re lacking comprehension. Republic is our structure – constitutional & federal (not unitary, btw). Our governing model is Representative Democracy.
DJT & friends aren’t operating within either. Power comes from the people not a ruler & his court.

The fact that this post comes from the actual White House account, regardless of the side it espouses or derides, should be a shocking revelation to all Americans that this administration needs to go. This is anti-American, anti-Constitutional, and just plain destructive in its intent. Any administration, from the left or from the right, making this kind of use of its social media accounts should be Bulk-Impeached. Immediately. This should not happen and should be stopped.
