Andrea is one of over 170 U.S. citizens who have detained by ICE. It should never have happened, and we will hold Kristi Noem and the Trump Administration accountable.

Folks, this is VERY important. This means that there will be a decrease of nurses in the field and their access to student loans will be severely restricted. There is already a serious shortage of nurses, this is only going to make it worse. Nurses are the backbone of healthcare.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡

This is it. One of the core components of the current Republican project is closing doors and eliminating access for those they consider undeserving. It’s not just eliminating immigration but for white folk, it’s cutting off access to resources and education for everyone but rich white Republicans.
If they devalue those degrees specific to the application of student aide availability, they lock people who weren't born into privilege—who can't pay for their own education—out of even being able to pursue those majors, ensuring they can never pursue the jobs that require those degrees.

Can we not forget that his friend, the racist who constantly put the lives of teachers in danger, was not murdered by ‘the left’ or ‘the leftist movement.’ Vance is a liar, who knows he lies, and he thinks people are too stupid, and our media too in the bag, to do anything about it.
