NEW: Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools.

It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

Rep Swalwell (D-CA) tells Simon Rosenberg that Democrats are united and making sure the American people know that #TrumpShutUSDown All so he and MAGA Republicans can rob us of our healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Republicans don’t give a shit about working families.

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

Follow along for details.

Oregon National Guard general said that if they were deployed, his troops would be instructed to protect the protesters, not ICE.

🚨SCOTUS will hear a Republican case challenging Illinois’ mail-in ballot laws today.

Anti-voting groups are urging the court to make it easier for candidates to bring such challenges — a decision that, if granted, could create chaos over elections.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

Justice department folks undermining justice. GOP women setting back women. "Christians" corrupting christianity. FBI ruining intelligence/public safety. Defense officials being offensive. Health department destroying our health. Education officials ruining education. This is Trump & the GOP.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."

"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs
