Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college. Those two things are connected. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1957...

Trump’s Fury at Harvard Gets More Deranged—and Exposes a Big MAGA Scam
Trump says he’s attacking foreign students because they’re taking places reserved for American kids. But the House GOP budget bill would hurt countless American students from the working class.

BREAKING: Trump confirmed he’s going to accept the $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar, claiming it’s not corruption because it’s done “in a very public and transparent transaction.” Open bribery is still bribery, even if you tweet about it.
