#ICYMI (I know I did)... Apparently, part of #Trump's #BigUglyBill involved withholding future student #FinancialAid if they withdraw from a class. Wow...!

"Beginning in Summer 2026, changes to #FederalStudentAid under the One #BigBeautifulBill Act will significantly affect how federal direct loans are adjusted when students withdraw from courses or reduce enrollment. Several of you have met with me via zoom to learn more about these changes, and I am grateful for the questions and conversation.

What’s changing in brief:

- Financial aid for loan borrowers may now be recalculated based on a student’s enrollment, even in cases where students continue to pay for all of their credits.

Students who withdraw from courses may:

- Lose eligibility for a portion of their aid in a future semester and/or,

- Owe a balance back to the university

Please contact the Office of Financial Aid with questions or refer students directly for individualized guidance.

Thank you for your continued support of our students during this transition."

The families going hungry because of #Trump’s #FoodStamp cuts

Under President Donald Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a warning for America.

Federal News Network:

No 2027 pay raise for federal employees in the new spending bill or Trump's budget request.

Way to slap the people who do your work for you in the face.

Kinda like how Trump betrayed promise made to Afghan refugees, many of whom supported US troops in #Afghanistan at their own peril & that of their friends & families, by rescinding their visas & shipping them off to #Congo.

Looks like Trump's #IranWar & #BigBeautifulBill broke the bank.

"It’s been one year since the Republican Party rammed Donald Trump’s Big Awful Bill through Congress without a single Democratic vote, slashing taxes for the wealthy and gutting an array of popular public programs to pay for it."
