I would have liked to be celebrating my acceptance to a Summer Teacher Institute focused on the history of Liberty State Park right now. I had put my heart into the application this winter.
And I was accepted. And then, today, DOGE decided to cut all the teacher programs.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

1)Arranging for them to visit another teacher
2)Giving my sub a guide to troubleshooting
3) Detailed outline and lots of prep work
