Key contribution to the discourse and to my healthy blood pressure levels below
Finding solace in these troubled times by retreating into the comfort of my pedantic tics, so just remember when sharing your takes today that ED is the Department of Education (DOE is the Department of Energy).

The Trump administration can't eliminate the Education Department, but it has slashed its staff and now employees the fewest people in its history. chroni.cl/3Fo6QNj
Trump’s Education Secretary Described a ‘Final Mission.’ Now She’s Enacting Mass Layoffs.
Tuesday’s announcement, affecting around 1,300 staff, is the next step in the Trump administration’s attempt to dramatically shrink the federal role in education.

States are successful when federal-level leadership gives them guardrails, support, data, and accountability to achieve their goals.
States have *always* been in the ed policy driver's seat. There's nothing to give back to them.
There is much, however, to take away. And that's what's happening.

After a multi-year intentional hiatus from Twitter, I just had so much fun following accounts that I've missed and getting re-engaged on social with colleagues near and far. Let's see how this goes!
