I think it's not uncommon in the policy space to consider all postsecondary education "college," but I think you're right that the PR is misleading. They could have--should have--come out and said, "This is mostly for-profit vocational schools."

The Department of Education shared data today on IHEs where, 4 years after earning a credential, graduates earned less than peers with only a high school diploma.

What ED didn't shout out was just how many of those institutions are for-profits. So I got the data. jamessmurphy.com/2025/12/09/w...

I’m totally lost. I thought we were invading Venezuela. And now allies with Russia. So the friend of my “friend”

"The Russian President expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people and confirmed his support for [the Maduro] government's course in defense of the country's sovereignty."

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.

Becky needs health insurance to pay for her physical therapy so she can walk again.

Her health insurance premiums are more than doubling.

These are the people we are fighting for so they can keep the care they need.

Don't come to America. This is complete bullshit.

Change your plans if you have them. Canada and Latin America are awesome.

"we were left an economic mess from the trump administration. employment in decline. factories closing. americans dead. my recovery act brought back the jobs. my inflation bill has factories -- clean factories -- employing millions. detroit is back -- and its green!" - shit biden could have said
I don’t recall hearing Biden or any Democrat with a microphone saying “we are climbing out of the recession and shortages that Trump left us” back in 2021. Their “strategy” was to not talk about Trump at all, insanely letting him push the narrative that his presidency ended in 2019.

It's a good there is independent media to tell the story.
