Federal Grant Cuts Don’t Spare Red States, New Report Shows The @amprog says the Trump administration has targeted for termination more than 4,000 grants across over 600 institutions. Adjusting for statewide enrollment, South Dakota is hit harder than... bit.ly/452Q6Ei

3.5%—that's it. All it would take is 3.5% of Americans to peacefully protest & make the government meet the people's demands. YOUR voice is essential to stop the Trump administration’s authoritarian power grab. Hear from @michaelsozan:

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” will make it harder for many community college students to afford food & healthcare. A new report from @amprog shows how affording basic living expenses are increasingly a barrier for community college students’ success: americanprogress.org/article/the-fu…

While many community college students receive grants that bring down the cost of tuition, they are increasingly squeezed by the costs of housing, food, transportation, and childcare. @CAPHigherEd has recommendations to help community college students succeed and graduate.

When we talk about the dangers of extreme heat, we need to talk about infants. @haileymgibbs explains for @InsideSourcesDC: dcjournal.com/about-extreme-…

.@RepAngieCraig: "This bill does not lower the cost of living. It makes meeting the basic needs like groceries and accessing medical care more expensive."

The Senate just passed the largest cut to low-income programs in a single law in US history. It would rip health insurance from more than 10 million people and take food assistance away from millions of households, including families with children and veterans.

In 2011, across NPS, USFS, BLM & USFWS, there was ~1 staff for every 9,200 public lands visitors. But under Trump’s plans, that would increase to 1 park staff per 16,000 visitors. That’s like having a single ranger at the Grand Canyon alone for a whole day americanprogress.org/article/the-tr…

The so-called work requirements kick people off food assistance, which is exactly what Republicans want. @amprog data shows us just how devastating these cuts are.

🚨NEW from @haileymgibbs and @CAPEarlyEd highlighting the benefits of #HeadStart: ✅Boosts kids’ outcomes ✅Centers families' preferences ✅Grows community & supports parents ✅ Strengthens state and local economies americanprogress.org/article/debunk…

So let me get this straight. House GOP pass the largest cut to Medicaid in history, polls find Americans oppose the bill by 2-1 — largely on basis of said Medicaid cuts, and Senate Republicans respond by saying let’s cut it even more? This bill is broken and must be defeated.

As summer kicks off, we are reminded that extreme heat endangers kids’ health & learning. While the Trump admin is rolling back climate progress, including $ for schools, kids need policies that will keep them safe. From @pbshoemaker for @The74: the74million.org/article/last-s…
