The Trump "compact" would require colleges that agree to commit to freezing tuition for 5 years. Freezes or caps are often proposed as a solution to college affordability.
🧵 Why is this a misguided solution that might actually lead to lower- and middle-income students and families paying *more*?

In 1990, the state of Illinois’s Black and Hispanic population was 22.5%.
The flagship University of Illinois, where Andreesen graduated with a bachelor’s in 1993 had a total Black and Hispanic student population of **9.6%*** in 1991.
So who was being discriminated against exactly?

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
