Hidden in Trump's budget bill is the first federal private school voucher in American history — a tax credit that pays donors back 100 cents on the dollar, with no ceiling on the total. Congress's scorekeepers say $26 billion. One analysis says $51 billion a year.
All four official titles begin "To codify Executive Order." The same congressman wants to repeal the 17th Amendment to restore what he calls constitutional balance.
Prop. 318 would let athletes sue schools over bathrooms and locker rooms, and would reach private leagues like Little League. Arizona already bans trans girls from school sports. Biggs is running on it anyway — and if it passes, undoing it takes a three-fourths supermajority.
Two of North Dakota's five tribal colleges get more than half and around 70% of their money from the federal government. Their presidents used the words 'death knell' and 'It'll close us.' North Dakota's senator said he expects Congress will keep funding them. Its only House member said the president's budget is a starting point.
Jim Baird has a doctorate, two Purdue degrees, a seat on the Science Committee and a co-chairmanship of the R&D Caucus. Purdue is in his district. When Washington started cancelling research grants, he called it long overdue — and in April 2026 he celebrated the shutdown of the USDA's flagship research center because Purdue picked up a piece of it.
His Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act makes a school ineligible for every federal program — including federal student loans — unless it certifies it runs no DEI program and no DEI office. He's introduced it twice. He also voted against naming a Tallahassee courthouse for Florida's first Black Supreme Court justice.
Kim's bill cuts off every dollar of federal education funding to any college that violates civil rights law — which was already true. Her own press release admits it 'reinforces existing federal civil rights protections.' It has two cosponsors and hasn't moved since April.
Bloomberg reported that Hern pushed to make it easier for franchises to get pandemic loans — and a company he controls got $1.07 million, forgiven. Two years later he attacked student loan relief, and the White House replied with the exact number: $1,082,302.
The Parents Bill of Rights passed the House 213-208 in 2023 and stalled. It requires library inventories for parents, parental consent before an elementary or middle school puts a child's chosen name on a school form, notice to parents whenever a school employee changes one anywhere else — and it picked up two Boebert amendments about which bathroom trans students use.
