🚨 Just another hidden gem in trumps big beautiful bill - dropping nurses from the Department of Education’s list of professional degrees. This will make the availability of student loan funding for nursing degrees harder to get. 😡
Many have warned the move will lead to a significant drop in the number of nurses in the country, impacting health care services.

Nursing is regarded as one of the most important degrees you can have. A good nurse is wanted, needed, skilled, intelligent and appreciated.

How does it serve our health care system by reclassifying nursing and other degrees as non-professional so a limit can be placed on educational loans for those degrees? Do we want fewer nurses? Really?

The backlash to Kimmel’s suspension is so intense, even Ted Cruz admitted Trump’s FCC move against ABC was “dangerous as hell.”
He just made every MAGA influencer look like a jackass for defending Carr's comments.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?
