Trump Administration Proposes Drastic Cuts to Graduate Student Loans, Threatening Nursing and Other Professional Programs The Trump administrations proposal to strip professional designation from certain graduate degrees, such as nursing, could significantly impact students ability to afford higher education. Starting in July 2026, annual loan limits would drop from $50,000 to $20,500, and lifetime caps from $200,000 to $100,000. This change would disproportionately affect nursing, physical therapy, and audiology programs, potentially forcing students to seek pricier private loans or drop out altogether. The Department of Education argues that these caps will lower program prices and reduce overall debt, but the proposal remains unfinalized, causing uncertainty and panic among schools and students.

Missouris new congressional districts face legal challenge: A court in Missouri now holds the fate of the states new congressional districts for the twenty twenty-six elections. Voters filed a lawsuit claiming the Republican-backed map should have been automatically suspended when opponents turned in more than three hundred thousand petition signatures for a statewide referendum. However, Attorney General Catherine Hanaway insists the map took effect and stays in place unless Secretary of State Denny Hoskins verifies the signatures meet all requirements. The dispute hinges on timing, with local officials having until July twenty-eighth to verify, and a final call could come even later. Reactions are sharp on both sides, with the American Civil Liberties Union calling it a ploy to lock in the map, and Hanaways office arguing instant suspension would let anyone halt laws just by dumping unverified signatures. This fight is part of a bigger national push, with mid-decade redistricting potentially netting Republicans three extra House seats if the maps hold. Its already the ninth lawsuit over Missouris map, with others challenging the special session and claims it violates the state constitution. As these battles drag on, one things clear: election lines are getting redrawn in courtrooms too. Checkout Solipillow.com
