Trump Puts Colleges On Notice: No More Taxpayer Subsidies For Worthless Degrees
The only thing more surprising about the Education Department’s proposed rule on college loans is that it took this long for common sense to prevail over the interests of Big College.
On Friday, the department issued a “notice of proposed rulemaking” that would, if implemented, block taxpayer-subsidized student loans for worthless degrees. To say that this is needed is a vast understatement.
As it stands, there is nearly $1.7 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, and “fewer than 40% of borrowers are in repayment, and nearly 25% of borrowers are in default,” notes The Federalist’s Breccan F. Thies.
Why? Because far too many students were suckered into borrowing money – with the loans heavily subsidized by taxpayers – for college degrees that guaranteed them nothing, other than delaying adulthood by four years while piling up debt.
Colleges and universities have made out like bandits from this scheme, which lets them create bogus majors, pad their payrolls with administrative jobs, and hike tuitions massively, knowing that taxpayers would cover the costs.
Joe Biden made the problem worse by telling students that they’ll never actually have to pay off their college loans.
President Donald Trump is, thankfully, trying to end this grift. The proposed rule would require “colleges and universities to be accountable for how much their graduates earn after leaving their programs, cutting off the institutions from accessing federal student loans if they leave them worse off financially,” says Bloomberg Government.
Once in place, colleges would have to prove that their graduates are making more than those who didn’t bother to go to college. Those obtaining master’s and doctoral degrees would have to earn more than those who just got a bachelor’s. If schools fail to do so for two years in a row, those programs would be cut off from federal loans.
We suspect that right now, colleges across the country are looking at their course offerings and panicking. Do they really think queer studies, social justice, peace studies, creative writing, anthropology, and various other pointless majors will pass muster? To say nothing of the create-your-own-majors that some colleges allow.
“The Trump administration’s proposed accountability framework is grounded in common sense: if postsecondary education programs do not leave graduates better off, taxpayers should not subsidize them,” said Undersecretary of Education Nicholas Kent in a press statement.
We say “Amen!” to that.
The rule still needs to be finalized, but we can’t see any reason why the Education Department wouldn’t do so, or who could be opposed to it. Trump is taking other steps to tighten the rules on federal college aid, which now exceeds $275 billion a year, according to the College Board, and mainly just fuels tuition inflation.
This problem has festered for decades. So far, Trump is the only president who’s had the cajónes to take it on directly.
And for that, every taxpayer should be grateful.

Corruption and fraud are the Left's 'by any means necessary'!
ActBlue employees took the Fifth in House depositions 146 times in probe on alleged donor fraud
WASHINGTON — ActBlue employees invoked their Fifth Amendment right at least 146 times in depositions with congressional committees investigating alleged donor fraud on the fundraising platform, according to an explosive report released Monday.
Two ActBlue officials, one of whom formerly served as VP of customer service, and three of its former lawyers “declined to answer a single one of the Committees’ substantive questions,” stated the interim staff report from the House Administration, Oversight and Judiciary Committees.
“Their unwillingness to testify only amplifies the Committees’ concerns,” the report added of the depositions between July and December 2025, also citing ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Wells’ seemingly “false statements to Congress” and withholding of documents pursuant to a subpoena for records.
ActBlue has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and in a recent statement through a spokesperson maintained that it has “always been forthcoming with Congress.”The Fifth Amendment protects witnesses from self-incrimination by allowing them to say silent.
Do you expect honest reporting from the White House Press Corps? Led by the disgraced Dan Rather they are a Democrat PAC
Over 250 journalists demand reporters ‘forcefully’ protest Trump at White House Correspondents’ Dinner
WASHINGTON — Forget covering protests — some reporters think they should be the ones making the ruckus.
A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
Trump, 79, is set to attend the swanky dinner for the first time in his presidency. But the group of 250 reporters is demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) ensure he doesn’t feel welcome.
“We believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing — from the podium — a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment,” the letter to members of the WHCA said.
“Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press.”
The WHCA, which represents the White House press corps, is organizing the annual dinner and has clashed with Trump repeatedly over the past year.
Early last year, the White House press team began meddling in the pool rotation, in which outlets take turns getting special access to the president to share their notes and footage with everyone else.
Historically, the WHCA has set the pool rotation. Notably, the White House has left the WHCA in charge of determining outlet seat locations in the press briefing room.
Prominent veteran journalists such as former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, infamous for erroneous reporting on President George W. Bush’s military service, and former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson signed the missive.
Groups such as the Society of Professional Journalists, the Coalition for Women in Journalism, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and more signed it as well.
The letter aired a litany of grievances against Trump, such as his defamation suits against various outlets, alleged favoritism toward conservative media, and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s offensive tactics.
Another complaint was Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioters, which the letter claims sends a “message that attacks on the press will be forgiven.”
They also noted in the letter that many journalists attending the ritzy dinner on Saturday intend to wear lapel pins or pocket handkerchiefs emblazoned with the words of the First Amendment as a more low-key protest.
The call for protests comes amid polling pegging trust in the media at all-time lows, particularly among Republican voters. Last year, Gallup found that only 28% of the public has a great or fair amount of trust in mass media.
Last year, the WHCA was pressured to cancel comedian Amber Ruffin, whom it tapped to headline the feted dinner after she publicly called the Trump administration a “bunch of murderers,” and complained about being asked to tone down her material
This year, the WHCA has tapped mentalist Oz Pearlman as the night’s main entertainment instead of a traditional comedian.
The last time Trump attended a White House Correspondents’ Dinner was 2011, when then-President Barack Obama mercilessly roasted him for peddling conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate.
“Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree,” Trump explained on Truth Social last month. “However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special.”
The Post contacted the WHCA for comment. The White House referred The Post to Trump’s Truth Social post last month when asked for comment about the letter.
