Facilities for older adults and disabled people are reporting the sporadic loss of employees who have had their legal status revoked by Trump. But now, they fear even more dramatic impacts are ahead as pipelines of potential workers slow to a trickle with an overall downturn in legal immigration.

Around the country, nursing homes have reported employees who have stopped coming to work, fearful of a raid, even though they are legally in the country. Others have workers who are staying home with children they have kept out of school because they worry about roundups. Many others see a slowdown of job applicants.

More than a quarter of an estimated 4 million nursing assistants, home health aides, personal care aides and other so-called direct care workers are foreign born, according to PHI, a nonprofit focused on the caregiving workforce. Assisted living facilities, agencies, and other such businesses have counted on them to fill many of those roles, so Trump’s return to the White House and his administration’s attack on nearly all forms of immigration has sent a chill throughout the industry.

President Trump says he is considering “taking away” the U.S. citizenship of a longtime rival, actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, despite a decades-old Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits such an action by the government.

The two have criticized each other publicly for years, an often bitter back-and-forth that predates Mr. Trump’s involvement in politics. In recent days, however, O’Donnell denounced Mr. Trump and recent moves by his administration on social media, including the signing of a massive GOP-backed tax breaks and spending cuts plan.

O’Donnell was born in the U.S. and has a constitutional right to U.S. citizenship. It cannot be revoked by the president. The U.S. State Department notes on its website that U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization may relinquish U.S. nationality by taking certain steps — but only if the act is performed voluntary and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. added a powerhouse group of Black women public figures to its 2025 Honorary Member class, one of the highest honors bestowed by many Black sororities.

For Delta Sigma Theta, this honor is reserved for trailblazing women whose impactful work has made extraordinary contributions to society. Each honoree is carefully selected based on how well she embodies the Sorority’s core principles of Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, and Social Action, as well as how her work aligns with Delta’s Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement.

“Their collective influence spans boardrooms, stages, and grassroots movements — each one a force in her field and a reflection of Delta’s enduring mission” said Elsie Cooke-Holmes, International President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Americans with student loan debt can have some of their debt canceled through various volunteer work programs.

The Trump administration announced earlier this year that it would start involuntary collections on defaulted loans, with plans to garnish the wages of workers whose loans are in default. Meanwhile, income-driven repayment plans, which reduce monthly payments for borrowers with lower incomes, were temporarily paused.

Now, following the end of a years-long pause on repayments, check out which programs could offer student loan borrowers some relief.

Members of Congress have introduced a resolution demanding equal pay for Black women amid persistent racial and gender wage gaps in the United States.

Marking Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, U.S. Reps. Alma Adams, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Teresa Leger Fernández, Lois Frankel, and U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester introduced the Black Women’s Equal Pay Day Resolution on Thursday.

According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, Black women earned just 64.4 cents for every dollar paid to white men in 2023. The resolution notes that Black women would lose more than $1 million in potential earnings over a 40-year career.

Immigrant detainees and their loved ones are denouncing what they allege are terrible conditions at the state-managed immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades, named “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Vladimir Miranda, a detainee from Cuba, told Telemundo 51 via telephone call that “the generators apparently can’t cope and the electricity is going out.” When the electricity goes out there’s no water and the phones and air conditioners don’t work, “and we’re here sweating” profusely, Miranda added. His girlfriend, Eveling Ortiz, says “they can’t use the bathroom properly” and they are not bathing.

These allegations echo other detainees’ accounts. Leamsy Izquierdo says “they give you food only once a day, food that even has worms in it.” Plus, detention center lights are on 24/7, the mosquitoes are “the size of elephants,” they are not allowed to go outside, and the tents detainees are kept in are freezing. Another detainee said he’s been there for three days without access to medicine he needs.

The Florida Immigration Coalition is urging Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to file a lawsuit against the state, with the hopes that the detention center will be shut down.

Looks like we won’t be getting a real-life Wakanda anymore 😪

Most of the 136 acres of land previously set aside for a futuristic “Akon City” is back under state control after the artist failed to deliver on his $6 billion dream to transform the Senegal farming village into a solar-powered city with a state-of-the-art hospital and a university.

Sapco-Senegal, the state-owned entity that develops coastal and tourism areas, now plans to spend 665 billion CFA francs ($1.2 billion) turning Mbodiène into a tourism hub with hotels, apartments, a marina and promenade connecting the area to a nearby lagoon.

“What Akon’s preparing with us is a realistic project, which Sapco will fully support,” said Serigne Mamadou Mboup, head of Sapco-Senegal.

President Donald Trump signed his One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the Fourth of July, which will enact a laundry list of his policy priorities, including tax cuts, increased funding for immigration enforcement and deep cuts to social safety net programs like Medicaid and food benefits.

The law also makes a number of changes to the federal student loan system, giving less flexibility on repayment for students in financial difficulty and creating a $200,000 federal student loan limit.

Check out what student borrowers and prospective student borrowers can expect going forward.

Barbie is expanding its repertoire with the launch of a doll that has Type 1 diabetes and is outfitted with medical devices, such as a wearable insulin pump.

Mattel announced the newest member of its Barbie Fashionistas line on Tuesday, saying that it not only lets children see themselves in the doll, but also encourages play “that extends beyond a child’s own lived experience.”

Krista Berger, senior vice president for Barbie and global head of dolls, said the doll “marks an important step in our commitment to inclusivity.”

“By reflecting medical conditions like T1D, we ensure more kids can see themselves in the stories they imagine and the dolls they love,” Berger said.

10/07/2025

The “big, beautiful bill” signed into law by President Trump last week will allow him to dramatically expand his immigration crackdown, giving Immigration and Customs Enforcement an unprecedented pool of funding to bolster its efforts to arrest and deport immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

Overall, the Republican-led Congress set aside roughly $170 billion for immigration enforcement and border security efforts through the legislation, including $75 billion in extra funding for ICE.

The money allocated by the law amounts to the largest infusion of funds Congress has given the federal government for immigration enforcement, at a time when the Trump administration has vowed to oversee a deportation campaign of unprecedented proportions.

At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave under a push to shed staff, according to documents obtained by POLITICO — potentially spelling trouble for White House space policy and depriving the agency of decades of experience.

The 2,145 employees are those in GS-13 to GS-15 positions — senior-level government ranks that are typically reserved for those with specialized skills or management responsibilities.

The departures follow a proposed White House budget for 2026 that would slash NASA’s funding by 25 percent. The cuts, if enacted by Congress, would force the agency to operate with the smallest budget and staff since the early 1960s.
