So excited to be working with this team at this critical moment.

More Black students are earning degrees than ever before. But new policy changes could slow that progress.
Our higher ed senior policy associate Jordan Nellums spoke with @Marketplace about how DEI bans & rollbacks are cutting off support for students: marketplace.org/story/2026/0…

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.
But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

This report from @TCFdotorg includes some jaw-dropping charts, like the ones below. States are shortchanging low income students, and they're shortchanging Black students, and the whole thing is subsidized with taxpayer money

A new @TCFdotorg & @BorrowerJustice report shows that millions of Americans are struggling in Trump’s economy.
Under Trump, student loan delinquency rates rose from around 0% to roughly 25%, with loan delinquency nearly 3x higher than before the pandemic. washingtonpost.com/education…

Republicans in Congress are pushing through the biggest healthcare premium price hike in our history, and they're willing to grind government to a halt just to lock in sky-high health insurance prices for working families.

Since 1980, the Parents Plus program has let families borrow federal loans to cover the full cost of college tuition. Now, the Trump admin is setting a loan limit of $65k.

If Congress does not act to extend the ACA’s premium tax credits, cancer patients will face skyrocketing health insurance costs.
In 12 states, premiums will increase by over $1,000 in high-cancer rate counties.

PEPFAR is perhaps the most successful public health initiative in history. It's good, it's popular and reflects American values.
The Trump administration wants to end this HIV/AIDS program that has saved 26 million people lives.

It was wonderful to share the stage with other phenomenal leaders, Nicole Stovall, Dr. Marketa Wills, and Dr. Aaliyah Haqq, at the Global Black Economic Forum (@GBEF_ ) this past weekend.
“I am the first Black person who has been the CMS administrator… I felt like my community had lifted me up. Just being who I am was meaningful. I realized I was being a leader for women like me.”

Trump and Musk's wholesale assault on federal workers will make countless Americans poorer and less safe.
@TCFdotorg convened 10 former federal government leaders to break it all down.

We were honored to be joined via video by @BarackObama to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act—and, as the president says, keep building on and improving the ACA until quality, affordable health coverage is a reality for all.
