We have a current deficit of 500k nurses. There are 260k enrolled in BSN & another 60k registered in associate degrees. Nowhere near enough. Not to mention all the degrees deemed non-professional are in female dominated fields. Limit women access to economic freedom. www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...
Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

“The Department of Education said what now? Nursing is ‘no longer a professional degree’? Tell that to the nurses who kept this country alive while half of Washington was playing political cosplay.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.
Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.
This is political and it is sexist.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst".
But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record.
It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

Donald Trump is telling the Republicans to "get tougher."
Get tougher on who? The woman with malignant melanoma?
Because he sure as hell isn't getting tougher on the billionaires he invited to his Great Gatsby party.

“The National Grocers Association estimates that shoppers using the SNAP program annually inject close to $100 billion into the national economy… the federal changes will reduce the U.S. government’s spending on SNAP by 9%, nearly $10 billion each year.”
NYC grocery stores rely on food stamp sales. Here's what SNAP cuts could mean.
Food retailers say more than half their sales rely on SNAP. Without those funds, they have to cut back on staff and products.
