Congress and the Administration should fine tune loan caps with ROI‑based loan limits tied to a debt‑to‑earnings metric, ensuring graduates can repay loans, eliminating carve‑outs, preventing loopholes, and protecting both students and taxpayers.

Nurses shouldn’t be sidelined in the grad loan debate. While nearly all nursing programs charge tuition unaffected by the loan limits in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the conversation misses the larger issue: rising degree costs paid by nursing students.

In the time the U.S. developed 3 GW of long-distance transmission, China developed 260 GW. That single U.S. transmission line spent 8 years in environmental review, 16 years to start construction — and still isn’t done. We need smarter permitting reforms. Watch:

.@CMSGov announced a new set of lower prices for certain drugs as a result of the 2nd round of Medicare drug price negotiations. In a statement, @P4ADNOW's Merith Basey notes Medicare patients will see avg list price reduction of 62% on included drugs. https://t.co/i9djUDVVib

Millennials wanted to stay in cities, but restrictive zoning and high costs pushed them out. More housing choices mean families can stay connected across generations. @rcobooth details how cities missed the mark on @voxdotcom:

AV’s @jenniferdoleac was interviewed by @InsidePhilanthr about her new book “The Science of Second Chances,” which they say “carries a sense of both intellectual excitement and dedication to improving lives.” Read the interview here:

I loved this conversation for @InsidePhilanthr about my forthcoming book and my work at @Arnold_Ventures.

Key takeaways: - Nearly all teaching & social work programs pass OBBBA’s earnings test - Failures are concentrated in 6 costly online programs - Over 98% of public school students attend programs meeting debt-to-earnings standards (/2)

Our latest policy brief debunks the teacher and social worker shortage myth. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act protects students from unaffordable debt without reducing access to these vital careers. (1/) https://t.co/GRHJtHB7SG

Happy to share my remarks shared before Washington state's House Committee on Community Safety regarding policing for preventing and solving crime via @Arnold_Ventures. The evidence points us to four key areas: (1) More staffing matters for deterrence. (2) Evidence-based

In a recent comment letter to @uspto, AV expressed lack of support for a proposed rule that would limit use of the process for challenging invalid patents, ultimately extending pharmaceutical monopolies and leading to higher prices. Read more: https://t.co/rui6HsNhie

.@SenatorCantwell is right to ask: What do taxpayers get in exchange for subsidizing multimillion-dollar coaching contracts? It’s time for Congress to examine the tax-exempt umbrella shielding college sports. @scottahodge lays out the case in the @washingtonpost:

Cities banked on millennials, but rising housing costs and restrictive zoning left too few options. When housing costs outpace wages, families and communities suffer. We need smart reforms to expand housing choices. Read more via @voxdotcom: https://t.co/fC1VXyr3LT

Shared the stage with Senators Lee (UT) & Heinrich (NM) and Govs Stitt (OK) & Shapiro (PA) tonight to discuss permitting reform. Likely no coincidence that each of us comes from energy-exporting states and see firsthand how hard it is to build infrastructure the country needs.

Great conversation happening now on permitting reform and energy infrastructure. An important reminder on the bipartisan interest in addressing these issues. Thanks to @GovStitt @GovernorShapiro @SenMikeLee @SenatorHeinrich
