(PBS Newshour) Overall, 45% of registered voters and 54% of independents say they will vote mostly to express their opposition to Trump. Eight in 10 Democrats are motivated to vote against Trump. Just 24% of voters and 12% of independents say they are voting to show support for the president.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

Donald Trump looted Medicaid. Not “waste.” Not “illegals.” Your coverage. His "Big Beautiful Bill" yanked nearly $1T from healthcare that keeps kids insured, grandma in a nursing home, and working people one ER visit from ruined. Work requirements. Eligibility checks every six months.

A religion scholar is getting increasingly worried about the odds of a white Christian nationalist takeover in the US. While panicked allusions to Nazi Germany have been a common occurrence in the Trump years, Robert P. Jones believes those references are warranted now.

Gas averaged $4.15 yesterday—30% higher than a year ago. Diesel: $5.85, up nearly 60%. Domestic flights: up about 20%. And diesel moves the food, clothes and other goods we buy. You don’t have to own a car to pay for higher fuel prices.

Trump and Republicans don’t want to prevent voter fraud, they want to prevent voting. Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified, and their voter suppression laws are about election security. They are lying! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
