Child care is notoriously unaffordable. But parents also know that even if they can afford a program, sometimes it’s not possible to find. CAP’s new report explores these licensed supply shortages 🧵

As enrollment in community college continues to grow, policymakers are considering how to support college affordability and workforce alignment.

Join CAP and the Community Colleges Coalition on April 15th to explore how community colleges are adapting to new federal and state policies and what frameworks can best support their continued success. https://t.co/Fgw4G8D9bF

Despite the Trump administration’s claims that other countries would pay for its tariffs, Americans are paying the price. The Harvard Business School Pricing Lab found that prices have risen relative to pre-tariff trends—from meat to coffee and tea. https://t.co/b8fJ5Lx1G5

The Trump administration's move to unlawfully dismantle the Dept. of Education by moving critical programs to other agencies will cause headaches for students, families, schools, and colleges.

The firing of federal workers is an unlawful abuse of power by the Trump administration—and a scare tactic to keep Democratic lawmakers from protecting Americans' health care. @GretaBedekovics explains:

[American Progress @amprog]

The Trump administration's threat to fire employees is not about so-called government efficiency—it's clear political retaliation at the expense of people's livelihoods, careers, and the vital services they provide to the American people. More from @GretaBedekovics: https://t.co/q5EUxvZTG7

.@AFTunion's @rweingarten emphasizes the importance of expanding opportunities for high school students with career and technical education (CTE) programs like the one at Philadelphia's Murrell Dobbins CTE High School:

"I’ve seen federal agents outside of 🏈 games... outside of 🚇 stops. They’re now outside metro asking [people] leaving 🚇 for ID. That’s what you expect to happen in an authoritarian country." Alarming intvw w/ @CMCHenderson on this week's @TheTentPod. https://t.co/kJxkARg8Vg

[CAP K-12 Education @EdProgress]

With the possibility of a rescissions package and more freezes on federal education awards, state and district leaders must prepare for the possibility of funding gaps.

"The jobs of tomorrow will take multiple pathways, not just college." @NeeraTanden at today's round table on career and technical education with @GovernorShapiro, @AFTunion's @rweingarten, Superintendent @watlington_sr, and @PhillyMayor.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Here in Pennsylvania, we respect all paths to success.

That’s why we’ve increased funding for CTE programs and apprenticeships, and worked to give students like the kids here at Dobbins Technical High School the freedom to chart their own course.

With partners like @AFTUnion, @PhillyMayor, and @Amprog, we heard today just how much that funding impacts our kids — and how much good we can do when we open the doors of opportunity.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Here in Pennsylvania, we respect all pathways to success.

Join me for a roundtable discussion with @Amprog and @AFTUnion on how we’re opening the doors of opportunity for more students, no matter what path they choose. Watch: https://t.co/ftFlXtbiyt

"The way you create more opportunity is, within our education space, you got to make sure that there’s all kinds of different pathways to opportunity and success." Pennsylvania's @GovernorShapiro on the importance of respecting and supporting all pathways to opportunity.

[American Progress @amprog]

Every student deserves a high-quality, well-funded education in this country, and we need lawmakers to focus on making that a reality.
