Thanks to WIRED for this. Has anyone checked and summed camp capacities as well as staff requirements for managing the “goal” numbers for deportations? I would not be surprised if there is excess capacity for both - leading to obvious conclusions

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Whether your degree is considered “graduate” or “professional” will affect how much you can borrow for school.
The same rule also kills Grad PLUS and will add lifetime loan caps.

If your diplomacy sounds like a warning from a crime boss, you’ve already lost the moral high ground.

FCC Wants Everyone to Air Propaganda for America’s 250th Anniversary Brendan Carr made the bonkers request of broadcasters.

Sure "civic education & American history" sounds benign & patriotic but remember, Trump's definition of "history" means ERASING factual info about the contribution of minorities to building the nation.

Broadcasters should start with the history of Washington's slaves which Trump tried to eradicate

But will there ever be a revolution?

SPREAD THE WORD!

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

When a justice warns about “permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man” after a series of decisions that broaden executive immunity, interpret that as part of the institutional choreography. That's all it is. It’s not a reversal. It’s a signal meant to preserve the image of neutrality.

Hey, Donald! When we said no taxation without representation, we meant it. That's what SCOTUS is saying with this opinion.

The Supreme Court:

Days before imposing his reckless tariffs, Trump said he “couldn’t care less” if Americans paid higher prices.

The Supreme Court just confirmed: he never had the authority.

Time to deliver relief to the people & small businesses who paid the price for his total economic failure.

"Combined, these lenders—Navient, Sallie Mae, SoFi, Citizens, College Ave, and Nelnet—lent over $14.7 billion in private student loans in 2024."

The image is an announcement from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics about the U.S. Department of Education updating the definition of "professional degree programs." It explains that the decision will impact federal student loan funding for dietetics graduate students. A note mentions that nutrition and dietetics programs are currently not clearly included in this list. A "Read More" button is at the bottom.

The image is an infographic from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It states that excluding future Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) may lead to lower federal loan limits, loss of Grad PLUS loan eligibility, reliance on higher-interest private loans, and delayed or abandoned training. It emphasizes that without appropriate loan access, many qualified students may not enter the profession, identifying this as both a financial and healthcare workforce issue.

ED Panel Kicks Off Accountability Talks Department officials say they are creating a level playing field. Advocates and committee members say they are leaving students vulnerable.

This is a good summary of the two issues dominating yesterday's negotiated rulemaking session:
