Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Nothing says teacher appreciation like gutting the Department of Education and firing half of the people that make the agency run.

These short weeks are usually rougher on kids and teachers both. Both have valid concerns and stresses about the time off and differences in needs. Never enough time and they're way too long simultaneously. Here's hoping for calm. And grace.
