However, the same article referred to Bessent’s social media post clarifying that those accounts are “…an additive benefit for future generations, which will supplement…”, which White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reasserted during a press conference. The article quoted Leavitt as saying, “What the secretary of treasury was saying, and what this administration believes, is that these Trump newborn accounts, which is an incredibly creative and great provision that was in the one big, beautiful bill for newborn babies and families and future generations of Americans, will help supplement not substitute Social Security”.

2026-04-28 Senator Merkley pressed DOE Linda McMahon on why she gutted the TRIO program designed to encourage professional nursing careers. McMahon claimed that somehow removing nursing jobs from a professional category would make tuition more affordable. What actually happens is students who can’t get a sufficient federal loan on a low interest rate will now have to seek out PRIVATIZED loan companies with a much higher interest rate. Remember, in November 2025 the DOE declassified nursing careers from being considered professional.
