Coincidence? I think not. More evidence of the blatant attack on women in American society. This is what the GOP/Project 2025 Pushers/Pedo Protectors DO! #StandUpForWomen #VoteBlue #Pinks
Imagine cutting off federal student loans for programs leading to careers overwhelmingly held by women.
Women make up:
• 80% of teaching assistants
• 81-84% of social workers
• 73-80% of counselors
• 79% of elementary/middle-school teachers
• 85% of special-ed teachers
• 92% of hairstylists/cosmetologists
• 93% of childcare workers
Yup, just a coincidence.

US withdrawal from Iraq was scheduled a few years in advance. But with Iran hitting US bases there, and Iran-allied Iraqi militias launching drones at Saudi Arabia, the withdrawal looks—to everyone in the region, and the wider world—like the US under fire ceding more of the Middle East to Iran.
