Ousted from Opportunity: Eviction's Adverse Impact on Parenting College Students

ED sliding past the real concern, which are Nurse practitioner programs.
ED is feeling enough pressure about the graduate vs. professional program distinction that they put out a press release (correctly) stating that nursing was never technically classified as professional. This probably won't gain much traction with the general public.
Myth vs. Fact: The Definition of Professional Degrees
President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act placed commonsense limits on federal student loans for graduate degrees. This fact sheet sets the record straight regarding the proposed treatment of nursi...

Introducing AI grills! They won’t make you a better cook, but at least you can blame a computer when everything you grilled for the 4th of July tastes like damp ash.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Citizenship ceremonies are one of the most joyous celebrations of America that you can find. 100% patriotism vibes from people who believe in the American dream. So no surprise that these ghouls would cancel them.
