These federal workers proudly served the American people. Then came Trump's upheaval

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Fifteen years ago today, a few of my best pals and I launched a little "audio experiment" without so much as asking our bosses for permission.
More than 2,000 episodes later, here we are. Here's to untold thousands more!

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

For nearly 160 years, federal govt has been producing a statistical report on condition & progress of education. In 2002, Congress gave Ed Dept annual deadline for that report: June 1.
For first time ever, Ed Dept just failed to meet this statutory obligation.
