  1. #Trump has repeatedly said the end of the #war is close but said at a cabinet meeting Wednesday he was not yet satisfied by the negotiations & that the #US was not discussing easing #sanctions, one ⁠of Tehran's demands.

    The latest attacks, while limited, highlighted the fragility of negotiations to turn the tenuous early-April “ceasefire” into a lasting agreement to end the 3-month-old ​war & reopen the vital #StraitOfHormuz.

  2. While no #law prohibits printing bills with Trump’s signature, #US #currency experts say that producing a $250 note featuring the president‘s image would run afoul of current laws. One states only a “deceased individual” may be depicted on US currency. Another specifies which denominations the bureau may produce.

    Larry R. Felix, a former director of the bureau, said “a $250 note is not statutorily authorized” without an act of #Congress.

  13. This was one of the biggest reasons I changed my major from medicine to IT: I saw this trainwreck coming.

    > “Access to federal loans were a lifeline for me,” said Leigh Habegger, a student in Wake Forest University’s program to train physician assistants, another profession affected by the new rule.

    Habegger had a decade-long career in public policy work before going back to school last year. She called her program “rigorous” and said she’s unable to work while studying, even though her program costs more than $50,000 a year.

    “One of my fellow classmates in the class above me shared that from his class that just graduated last weekend, nearly 90 percent of students said that they would not have been able to attend PA school without federal loans."

    “This rule stands to have a significant negative impact on the number of students who are able to attend PA school … in North Carolina precisely at a time when our state needs us the most.”

  16. Paxton lies (surprise!), sez Talarico's a vegan.
    Talarico goes on Meidas Touch, says
    "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. If all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."
    Great quote, good to go on offense here.
    (This will be a very expensive race...)
