I Predicted the 2008 Financial Crisis. What Is Coming May Be Worse

Trump fired Pam Bondi right as she was about to testify to congress. Don’t fall for the narrative that she got fired because she fell out of favor with Trump.
The Epstein cover up is still ongoing.
Nope.
The #Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the #Iran #war, a senior admin official says.
The DoD sent the request to the White House, acc/to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity…
It’s an extraordinarily high number & comes on top of extra funding the Defense Dept already received last year in #Trump’s big tax cuts bill.

Trump's #Iran spin falls flat
#Trump has spent a lifetime talking himself out of tough spots. But in the #war with Iran, his trusty technique of sowing confusion to postpone reckonings is beginning to fail.
Ten days in, Trump still hasn’t settled on a consistent rationale for why he went to war. Now, he’s hinting that peace might soon be at hand—even while he & top aides simultaneously warn the fighting might get more intense & last longer.

25 Democrat #states & DC sued the #Trump #Education Dept over new graduate #StudentLoan limits, arguing the restrictions will worsen the #HealthCareWorker shortage.
“#HigherEducation is expensive, & our #health care system is already under immense strain. This rule will shut talented people out of critical professions & leave communities with fewer #healthcare providers they desperately need,” NYAG Letitia James, who is leading the coalition, said in a statement.
