🚌This week, without Congressional action, the Department of Education moved major programs to other agencies-part of the Administration’s ongoing efforts to dismantle the DOE. This is a clear message that the federal government will no longer ensure every student has an equal opportunity to thrive.

Open Enrollment started Nov 1, so without renewal of healthcare subsidies, millions face higher premiums.
