Gutting the Dept of Ed doesn’t just hurt students.
It undermines Military Families.
It weakens the Force.
And it plays right into the hands of predatory lenders and for-profit diploma mills.

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.

On a more serious note, Pope Francis worked hard to remind us all that following Christ was an active choice, one that we reaffirm every time we minister to the sick, the friendless, and the needy.
I am grateful for his faithful witness and for his call to live into the promise of our faith.
