**The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is rewriting the future for students, and Black students carry the heaviest weight.**
Starting July 1, 2026, the law caps federal student loans at $257,500 for life and eliminates Grad PLUS, the program grad students relied on to cover their full cost of attendance.
It also replaces income-driven repayment plans like IBR, PAYE, and SAVE with a new system that costs borrowers more each month. Black borrowers already carry the highest average student loan balances of any group, so this hits home hard.
The bill cuts nearly $350 billion from education funding, with $287 billion sliced from SNAP and $900 billion from health programs. Medicaid ranks as the third-largest funder of K-12 public education, so these cuts ripple straight into classrooms and services for students with disabilities.
The bill also launches the nation's first federal school voucher program. Vouchers trace back to segregationists who used them to dodge Brown v. Board of Education, and they continue to deepen racial segregation today.
Black college students report sacrificing basic needs just to stay enrolled as tuition climbs toward six figures at some schools. The article can be found at [https://t.co/9RnGHrz1hQ](https://t.co/lbHxnmRGMp).
HBCUs serve large populations of low-income and first-generation students, and shrinking Medicaid and SNAP support puts real pressure on their ability to stay enrolled and finish strong.
**Know the facts. Share the facts. Protect access to education for the next generation.**

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.
We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.
She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.
But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.
We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.
OH. MY. GOD.
If you have EVER fantasized about what you'd tell trump to his face if you had the chance, Rep. Joyce Beatty just DID that.
He thought he was going to call her names. And he found out.
So good. 🔥 🔥 🔥
