Nursing Excluded as 'Professional' Degree By Department of Education The Trump administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill" excludes nursing from graduate degree programs deemed as 'professional.' The move impacts loan funding, healthcare delivery, and patient care access...

This is only going to exacerbate the nursing shortage and increase medical costs for everyone: nurse.org/news/nursing...

Man, I got to give it up to the guys up in #StMarys #PA. Their #Handsoff protest wasn’t the biggest but was probably one of the most effective in showing that people will resist Trump—even in his biggest strongholds in #ElkCounty

From today’s #Handsoff in Pittsburgh

Trump administration live updates: Tariffs announcement sparks backlash; Senate will vote on Mehmet Oz nomination President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs yesterday on major trade partners, including China and the European Union.

BREAKING: Defense Department Inspector General to investigate Secretary Hegseth's role in Signal group chat.

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ?

Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Democrats flip deep-red Pennsylvania district in special election shocker No Democrat had ever won this ancestrally Republican seat, but it's now the second Democratic pickup of the year.

HOW IT HAPPENED: James Andrew Malone, the mayor of a town of 5,000, ran on education, abortion rights, and opposing Elon Musk—in a district that had *never* voted Democratic.

Until tonight.

Our complete write-through of his astonishing special election win in Lancaster County →

Well wow. With just 3 precincts left, Dem James Malone is up by 800 votes in PA's #SD36. This is looking like an astonishing Dem flip in a Trump+15 seat, per our calculations. electionresults.lancastercountypa.gov/results/publ...

With all precincts reporting, Democrat James Malone leads by 0.89%.

Keep in mind, SD-36 completely excludes the City of Lancaster. It's the once reliably-red suburbs, exurbs, and small towns that have flipped this district.

Update only the provisionals left.

It’s a close one out in Amish Country

The special election is on Tuesday

WGAL news clip of a townhall held to protect Medicaid with a headline that reads “US Rep. Scott Perry’s constituents urge him to protect their health care.”

Pennsylvanians from every background came out to tell Scott Perry that we deserve #CareNotCuts.

But Perry didn’t show up. He was too busy hiding from his constituents while helping billionaires.
