Voters See Trump’s Use of Power as Overreaching, Times/Siena Poll Finds

Breaking News: A majority of voters believe President Trump is overreaching with his aggressive efforts to expand executive power, and they have deep doubts about some of the signature pieces of his agenda, a New York Times/Siena College poll found.

Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services (Gift Article) States have been told that they can no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

"The Department of Health and Human Services has abruptly canceled more than $12 billion in federal grants to states that were being used for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment and other urgent health issues." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

Florida's drop started before COVID and is starker than states where even more students take the test Maxwell: Florida SAT scores drop again, now to 47th. Florida’s drop started before COVID and is starker than states where even more students take the test
