Trump Admin To Stop Taxpayer Funding Of Worthless College Degrees
Breccan F. ThiesApril 17, 2026
The U.S. Department of Education announced Friday it will be stripping federal student loan funding from any college program that does not yield a high salary after the student graduates.
Stereotypically worthless degrees in areaslike “women’s and gender studies” have become the standing joke that jabs at how unserious college has become. But under new proposed rulemaking from the Education Department,if schools want to offer degrees that bury students in debt while giving them poor job prospects, the institutions will have to fund those programs themselves.
“The Trump Administration’s proposed accountability framework is grounded in common sense:if postsecondary education programs do not leave graduates better off, taxpayers should not subsidize them,” Under
Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said in a press release. “This consensus-backed framework will drive meaningful change in postsecondary education, ending years of regulatory whiplash and addressing student debt that has left too many students worse off.”
Under the proposed rule, undergraduate programs willhave to prove that degree recipients earn at least as much as a high school graduate before being eligible for student loan funding. Similarly, graduate school programs will need to prove higher earnings than an average bachelor’s degree.The average high school graduate is estimated to earn about $40,000, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
“Programs that routinely fail to provide students with a reliable return on investment would lose access to federal student loans, and in certain cases, Pell Grants,” the department said.
Though the average high school graduate salary target is a fairly low bar, a Department of Education official told The Federalist thatthere are college programs that will get cut because the return on investment is so low. It also means that important degrees like liberal arts, philosophy, and history — areas where conservatives are severely lacking, leaving leftists in control of the American historical narrative — will likely be safeguarded.
According to a 2024 survey from the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity,23 percent of bachelor’s programs and 43 percent of master’s programs have a negative return on investment. Student loan debt is now close to doubling the size of all U.S. university endowments combined. Student loan debt also outpaces Americans’ credit card debt and is roughly equal to automobile loan debt.
Meanwhile, the average net price for attending anundergraduate program — after grant and scholarship funding — rose by 93 percent from 1990 to 2020, when accounting for inflation. Department of Education data shows that theunlimited lending of taxpayer dollars has increased graduate tuition by 340 percent.
Schools can increase the sticker price of tuition knowing that no student is actually going to pay for it, but rather American taxpayers will foot the bill through Education Department student loans. One of the goals of the Trump administration is to stop that scam.
Right now, theEducation Department’s student loan portfolio, funded by the American taxpayer, is nearly $1.7 trillion. It is estimated thatfewer than 40 percent of borrowers are in repayment, and nearly 25 percent of borrowers are in default.
“More students are left financially worse off than if they had never attended college,” the department stated, addingthat “now is the time for a hard reset in higher education.”
The new rule would apply across the board for all types of postsecondary education— from colleges and universities to career and technical schools. It is amajor shift from the Biden and Obama administrations, which selectively targeted career and technical schools, as well as religious schools like Grand Canyon University, in order to destroy them while shielding their friends at universities from accountability.
Biden’s Education Department only threatened financial aid funding to places like technical schools through its “gainful employment” metric, while asking traditional four-year universities to share financial information with prospective students with zero threat to their funding.
The new rule “will better protect students and taxpayers by requiring institutions to sunset programs that do not deliver a strong financial returnor to seek funding outside the federal financial aid system,” the department said.
The rule will be open for a public comment period for 30 days before becoming finalized, and is planned to take effect in July.

Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board!President DONALD J. TRUMP

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that US forces intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman and took custody of the vessel after its crew ignored orders to stop.
“Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA … tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop,” he said.
“The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom,” Trump added.

Tucker Carlson’s Son Exits JD Vance’s White House Team amid Trump’s Attacks on the Political Pundit
Trump has recently hurled insults at Tucker, who, in return, has critized the president's administration on his podcast
Tucker Carlson's son has exited his role on JD Vance's team amid Donald Trump's escalating attacks on the political pundit
Buckley Carlson reportedly left the White House to start a political consulting firm
His departure follows escalating tensions between Tucker and Trump, who has publicly insulted the Fox News alum on various occasions in recent weeks
Tucker Carlson’s son is no longer a part of JD Vance's team in the Office of the Vice President amid Donald Trump’s continuous attacks on the conservative pundit.
Buckley Carlson, who served as deputy press secretary to Vance, 41, has left the White House to start a political consulting firm, Politico reported on Saturday, April 18, citing two sources close to the plan.
The move came as Trump, 79, has continued to publicly hurl insults at Buckley’s father, who has also been openly criticizing the president in recent weeks.
According to a Vance official, however, Buckley first shared his plans to exit his role late last year. “Buckley first informed the VP’s office of his intention to depart in December,” the official told Politico.
The deputy press secretary opted to stay longer, the official said, “to ensure a smooth transition.”
A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday, April 19.
Buckley’s move away from the White House comes amid escalating tensions between Trump and Tucker, 56.
Recently, the former Fox News personality and Trump ally has become an outspoken critic of the president and his administration, particularly in relation to the war in Iran.
Tucker attempted to dissuade Trump from attacking Iran before the war began with the joint United States-Israeli strikes on the country in late February.
The Fox News alum met with the president in the Oval Office three times to argue against the attack, per The New York Times.
The political pundit also criticized Trump after the president, who has described himself as a non-denominational Christian, threatened Iran in a profanity-laced Easter morning message on Truth Social.
“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country? Who do you think you are? You're tweeting out the f- word on Easter morning,” Tucker said during the April 6 episode of his podcast.
Tucker also called out Trump for his decision to conclude the Easter message "Praise be to Allah,” which he said was “mocking the religion of Iran.”
“Okay. If you seek a religious war, that's a good idea. But by the way, no decent person mocks other people's religions,” said Tucker.
In a more recent episode of his podcast, Tucker spoke out against Trump’s AI-generated posts featuring himself as a Christ-like figure, as well as another in which he touched heads with and embraced Jesus Christ. (Trump later deleted the former, later telling reporters that he thought it depicted him as “as a doctor,” not Jesus.)
“It's mockery,” Tucker said of the president’s posts. “He's mocking Jesus. He's making fun of Christianity.”…..

Report: Liberal Justices Slow-Walked Dobbs Release
M.D. Kittle.1/2
When the draft of the Supreme Court ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade leaked to the press, the conservative justices who signed on to the majority opinionsuddenly wore bigger targets on their backs. The very real threat of assassination hung over them like a coming thunderstorm.
And stilltheir pro-abortion colleagues stalled the release of the official ruling for weeks, putting the justices’ lives at increased risk, as detailed in Mollie Hemingway’s new book on Justice Samuel Alito and reported Saturday by Fox News.
Alito is the justice who wrote Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the ruling ending nationalized abortion.
“Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their prioritybecause delay of the decision was asecurity threat,” Hemingway, The Federalist’s editor-in-chief writes in Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.“Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justicesin the majority to change the outcome.”
The dissenters — Justices Stephen Breyer (counting down the days until his retirement at the end of the 2021-22 term ),Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor — “demurred,” Hemingway reports. Justice Neil Gorsuch asked the liberals when they expected to be wrapped up.They refused to provide a date.
The tension and the threats escalated.
‘Serious Security Risk’
On May 2, 2022, accomplice media outlet Politico published the 98-page draft of Dobbs.The unprecedented leak set off a wave of leftist protestsand a literalfirestorm of pro-abortion-led violence. Six days later — on Mother’s Day — a radical who was eventually arrested thanks to a half-eaten burrito firebombed the Madison headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, a Christian pro-life, pro-family organization.
“In the ensuing weeks, hundreds of pregnancy centers, churches, and pro-life organizations would be vandalized, some even set ablaze,” Hemingway wrote.Protesters also lined the streets and sidewalks outside the conservative justices’ homes.
More than a month after the leak, Nicholas Roske, 26 at the time, arrived at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home with murder on his mind. In his possession were a Glock pistol, ammunition, zip ties, a tactical knife, pepper spray, a hammer, duct tape, and more accoutrements, according to the criminal complaint.Roske said he was going to stop Roe v. Wade from being overturned by getting rid of a judge — or three— that voted to stop the deeply flawed 1973 ruling legalizing abortion nationwide.
“Everyone knew that the leak posed a serious security risk for justices. Since decisions do not take effect until issued officially from the bench,the death of a justice before then could alter the result. The threat of assassination increased dramatically,” Hemingway writes.
It took 53 days to finally release the Dobbs decision. Despite the growing threat to their colleagues,the liberals on the court refused to listen to urgent pleas to complete their work, Hemingway reports.
The ‘Wall Was Shaking’
Kagan, an Obama nominee, made her opinion on the delay loudly clear, according to Hemingway’s book, as reported by Fox.
https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/18/explosive-report-as-dobbs-majority-faced-death-threats-liberal-justices-slow-walked-release/
2/2
“Hemingway wrote thatKagan, an Obama appointee, angrily confronted Breyer, a Clinton appointee, in May 2022 behind closed doors after at least one justice, SamuelAlito, had asked his liberal colleagues to speed up writing their dissentbecause of security threats,” Fox reported. “Breyer was most likely to agree to Alito’s request, Hemingway wrote.”
Hemingway wrote that “Kagan remonstratedwith Breyer not to accommodate the majority,screaming so loudly, observers noted, that the ‘wall was shaking,’” according to Fox.
While pro-abortion zealots were calling for heads to roll, the court’s liberal minority did nothing to, as the left likes to say with empty virtue, “turn down the temperature.”
The justices needed all the help they could get. But the Biden administration shrugged off the serious threats. Biden press secretary, Jennifer Psaki, insisted the demonstrations were peaceful.
“I know that there’s an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly do continue to encourage that, outside judges’ homes, and that’s the president’s position,” Psaki said on May 10.
“Shortly after the leak, Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered the U.S. Marshals Service to provide full-time security for all the justices, but he drew criticism because authorities did not arrest protesters despite a law that prohibits ‘picketing or parading’ near a federal judge’s home to influence a court decision,” Fox reported.
Garland refused to enforce the laws against pro-abortion radicalswho threatened Supreme Court members even as he was siccing the FBI on parents who spoke out against liberal school district policies.
‘We Can Only Do Our Jobs’
Contrary to the belief by Roe’s supporters that the final outcome could be changed if they just demonstrated and threatened and destroyed enough,the conservatives on the court never wavered.
“We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respondto today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey,” Alito wrote in his Dobbs opinion. “And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision. =We can only do our job, which is to interpret the law, apply longstanding principles of stare decisis==, and decide this case accordingly.”
The Fox report on Hemingway’s new book comes after former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer reported rumors earlier this weekthatthe Supreme Court’s liberal minority is once again “slow-walking the dissent” in a landmark redistricting case Louisiana v. Callais, “so that [the decision] will not be issued in time for many Republican states to actually go in and redistrict based on the decision.”

(Aren’t the liberal justices intentionally endangering the lives of the other judges, if so, can’t they be arrested?)

Ghalibaf defends Iran-US talks amid hardline backlash
Iran’s lead negotiator and parliament speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibafdefended indirect talks with the United Statesin a televised interview Saturday after.hardline critics accused him of “betrayal” and even hinted at a “coup” over the negotiations in Islamabad.
The backlash, which has intensified in recent days across hardline media and social platforms,prompted Ghalibaf to sit for a lengthy interviewon state television aimed largely atpersuading critics who reject any form of diplomacyand advocate continued confrontation.
In the interview, Ghalibafframed negotiations not as a retreat but as a continuation of the conflict by other means. Diplomacy, he said, is neither a withdrawal from Iran’s demands nor separate from the battlefield, but a way to consolidate military gains and translate them into political outcomes and lasting peace.
Most notably, perhaps,he cautioned against exaggerating Iran’s leverage, stressing thatUS military superiority and capabilities should not be underestimated.

Iran rebuffs Trump’s plan for new round of peace talks, state media reports
PUBLISHED SUN, APR 19 20266:19 AM EDTUPDATED SUN, APR 19 20265:17 P
KEY POINTS
Iran on Sunday denied it would participate in new peace talks with the United States, its state news agency reported.
President Donald Trump had said U.S. negotiators would head to Pakistan for the next round of peace talks with Iran on Monday.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliament speaker, reiterated Iran’s intention to restrict shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran on Sunday denied it would participate in new peace talks with the United States, its state news agency reported on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trumpsaid its negotiators would head to Pakistan on Monday for a second round of peace talks with Iran.
Iran’s official IRNA news agency cited no specific source in its report that Iran had rejected the talks.
“Iran stated that its absence from the second round of talks stems from what it called Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach of the ceasefire,” IRNA wrote.
Iran’s decision to walk away from negotiations — specifically citing its demand to end the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports — came as Trump said in a Truth Social post that the U.S. had intercepted a ship called the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, warning it to stop. When it did not, the U.S. Navy fired upon it and the vessel was seized. The U.S. has been operating a naval blockade of ships entering and exiting Iranian ports since last week.
“Under these conditions, the outlook for constructive talks remains bleak,” state news agency IRNA reported in a post on X.
Earlier Sunday, Trump stated in a social media post that his representatives were heading for Pakistan to resume peace talks with Iranian negotiators on Monday, after an initial round of face-to-face talks last weekend concluded without an agreementto end hostilities.
If the talks were to take place, the U.S. delegation to Pakistan would once again be headed by Vice President JD Vance, two senior U.S. officials told MS Now. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, also would be traveling to Islamabad for the talks, according to the White House.
The apparent diplomatic setback came with shipping still blocked in the Strait of Hormuz and could set the stage for a renewed surge in oil prices when markets reopen after the weekend within a few hours.
Iran has blocked the strait to ships other than its own since the U.S. and Israel attacked on Feb. 28. It announced on Friday that it would reopen the waterway. But it reversed that decision on Saturday after Trump declined to lift a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.
“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement!” Trump wrote in Sunday’s post. “That wasn’t nice, was it?”
Iran ratchets up rhetoric
Iran’s parliament speaker and top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said talks to end the war with the U.S. and Israel are continuing but that his country stands ready to resume the conflict and warned the U.S. against using a naval blockade in the strait.
