SPED parents are (1) acutely aware of their children's rights and the gov't role securing them, (2) fiercely protective, but (3) deceptively polite when they're dealing with local officials.
But if *national* leaders mess with their kids? The gloves will come off and they will destroy them.

The contempt they have for disabled children is rooted in a mistaken belief that there aren't too many of them.
Estimates show that between 1-in-8 and 1-in-5 students in America have some kind of learning disability.
There are an awful lot of SPED families out here, and we will *fight* this shit.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
