Why doesn’t the US government want to acknowledge World AIDS Day?
According to a Lancet study, USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.
