Image
MORNING MESSAGE Jeff Bryant Betsy DeVos Harms Higher Ed More Than K-12 in 2017 DeVos calls loudly for K-12 "school choice" and neglects younger students' civil rights, but she has proven far more effective at gutting regulations that protect the rights of college students and college student loan borrowers. Negotiations On DACA Fix Turn Into Standoff Political agenda keeps Trump and Congress apart on a fix for immigrant ‘Dreamers’ “President Trump will convene a bipartisan group of lawmakers Tuesday to discuss immigration at the White House, but leaders remain far apart on a resolution to protect nearly 800,000 young people from deportation.

Progressive Breakfast: Trump’s General Just Announced a New Cold War. Who Will Stop It?

Defense Secretary James Mattis announced a dramatic shift in military policy last week, and it threatens to plunge the world into new forms of conflict.
