Day 49
The Trump Administration is keeping up its fast pace.
In education news, the Department of Education canceled $400M in funding to Columbia University, saying the school had potentially violated the Civil Rights Act by failing to protect Jewish students from antisemitism.
Additionally, President Trump altered the Public Student Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) to exclude workers at nonprofits with a “substantial illegal purpose," including aiding illegal immigration, transgender medical treatments for minors, or terrorism. Advocacy groups are suing, arguing that only Congress can alter PSLF.
In medical news, the CDC announced an investigation into the cause of autism (a priority of the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission), including a large new study into potential connections between vaccines and autism. Critics say the theorized link has been extensively debunked and promotes dangerous anti-vaccine rhetoric.
Verse to consider when you checked the last thing off your to-do list, just to turn around and face a mountain of tasks again… “Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
