It would really be great if folks not affiliated with the Trump Administration could stop using "Department of War." The Department of Defense is a statutory creation, and the name is statutorily given--the administration cannot unilaterally change it.

A core memory of my childhood is sitting in the back of my Grandma Rice’s car as she went from house to house, organizing as a poll worker for the August elections in Clayton County, Georgia. I learned from here: vote early if you can, so you observe or organize to GOTV on the day of the election.

The OPT rule is out, and it's a mess. DHS is aware that this rule will be challenged in court, but didn't even bother to do a defensible analysis of the costs. For example, their estimate of costs that this rule will impose on the public over 10 years is a range between $241 million to $29 billion.
Due to high uncertainty in regulated parties’ behavioral responses, DHS uses ranges to estimate costs and transfers. These ranges reflect different scenarios for how many OPT fees the educational institutions would fund. If all OPT fees are paid by schools, the main impact would be the transfer of payments from the fees. If some OPT fees are not paid by schools due to reduced participation, there would be opportunity costs from the lost OPT participation. DHS estimates the annualized costs of the proposed rule would range from $32 million to $8.2 billion, with a primary estimate of $4.1 billion discounted at 3 percent. Discounted at 7 percent, the estimated annualized costs of the proposed rule would range from $34 million to $8.2 billion, with a primary estimate of $4.1 billion. DHS estimates the 10-year total costs of the proposed rule would be $275 million to $69.9 billion, with a primary estimate of $35.1 billion discounted at 3 percent (see Table 10). Discounted at 7 percent, the estimated total costs of the proposed rule would be $241 million to $57.7 billion, with a primary estimate of $29.0 billion.
