talked to a woman in Philly when door knocking in October who had a special needs son in school. asked her how trump’s plan to shutter DOE would impact her son and if that would make her consider voting. she shrugged and said if she were gonna vote it’d still be trump
Trump just signed an EO to begin dismantling the Department of Education, a congressionally-created agency.
1. This is unlawful.
2. This is straight out of Project 2025. The goal is twofold: privatization and ideological curriculum control.
3. This will hurt red states most.

Trump on the Department of Education: "We're gonna shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good. We want to return our students to the states."

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

i don't think reading this to yourself does justice to how bad it is. read it out loud. you'll immediately notice how stilted and uncomfortable the prose is, like someone struggling to articulate an actual thought
