25 states sue the department of education over adopted rules for “professional degrees”

US Dept of Education sued over new “professional degree” rules set to go into effect this summer.

The Department of Education has been sued by 25 states Attorneys General and DC for their new rules set to go into effect this summer that excludes, amongst other degrees, mental health professionals and social workers. The lawsuit claims the Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by reading the language in the “big beautiful bill” incorrectly. The list of “professionals” now only includes:

Pharmacy (Pharm.D.), Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.), Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.), Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.), Law (L.L.B. or J.D.), Medicine (M.D.), Optometry (O.D.), Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.), Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., or Pod.D.), and Theology (M.Div., or M.H.L.).

Edit: I agree the cost of education is insane. But we also have to take into account loans from undergrad programs now are also included in a LIFETIME aggregate of $100k. Should schools lower tuition, of course they should. But that’s not the point of this article or lawsuit. There’s also zero proof that capping loan amounts will lower costs. In fact, costs keep rising.

2nd edit: I misspoke above, the limit of $100k is not LIFETIME limit but total limit for grad students

Just picked up my husbands adderall xr 20mg. FOUR DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS!

This is getting absolutely ridiculous! One of the manufacturers they gave him…1 pill. Yes…ONE pill. It sucks because he’s sensitive to the manufacturers.

Yes, I know we can have the provider request a specific manufacturer, but that is never guaranteed. It’s all at the whim of what they have available that particular day.

Shipped AT&T a device trade in on 2/22/2026. Delivered to Texas shipping facility on 2/27/2026 per UPS tracking.

Today, I wake up to a bill of $299 for an un-returned device. Spent over an HOUR on chat with AT&T to zero help. They 1st said "our tracking doesn't show it was returned." I then pointed out that UPS shows it was. Then I get asked the order #, to which they then say, "the tracking # you provided isn't part of that order." I point out it shows on the order status page that it is for the returned device and that it was given by them. THEN even their own tracking on the order page shows it was returned, but it also says "turn-in phone not dropped off." Huh? Then he checks the IMEI # (I'm assuming from the olde device as i didn't have the old IMEI) and says it does not show as received.

the phone was ordered 2/9/2026 and returned 2/22/2026 via UPS. that is well within the 30 days window for trade in devices. I have filed an FCC complaint already. But anyone ever have this happen to them before?
