Weingarten: It’s really only the Congress that can abolish the Department of Education. So, what the president can do is make government basically ineffective—not work—by a thousand cuts. And that’s what they’re doing.

Y’all are still acting like they abide by the law? They are booked in section 6 and you’re in 4, and they are cutting the line and taking your seats and you’re still thinking “how dare they!” Works????
I agree lots of commercials nothing new or groundbreaking. Not into videos or podcasts because they take forever to get to the point. I can read much faster.
I agree but it is not only Meidas Touch that is using clickbait titles. I am starting to avoid opening videos if the poster has been using clickbait titles. Video titles need to be truthful or viewers will soon get tired of the clickbait and stop watching the videos altogether.
The prev pres of Mex did just that to their soc med. In my mom’s town there was a regional clinic functioned like a hospital emerg room. Over 4 years, AMLO cut funding so much, now they don’t even have an x-ray machine or meds. They’ll give you a ride to a hosp 70min away that can’t treat you.
Yes Trump is destroying government so he can say it doesn't work. Israel destroyed 90% of Gaza homes & is starting on West Bank. Trump should not continue Biden's genocide. Make peace not dead civilians.
This is what Republicans are good at. They know the limits yet push the limits. The Trump regime is especially good at this. They can't legally do away with Federal agencies but they can starve them for funding and fire their employees. And if they get sued and lose, they will appeal.
They are way beyond that point by now - they simply do what they want and so far, no one's going to stop them.
Either the Dems do finally face this truth and take appropriate action or they are to blame as well if the USA becomes another oblast of the Russian Empire.
If you create long delays in being able to get a newborn's birth certificate and social security number... someone can step in and argue that the child isn't a US citizen... if the baby is the "wrong" color.
Republicans Congress Refuses To Do Their Jobs—To Protect America’s Best Gov. Institutions Known For Improving Americans Lives And Futures !! Republicans Congress Is Allowing Felon Trump To “Illegally” Dismantle And Destroy America’s Democratic Institutions And Gov. Services For Americans!!
No hurricane watch? Including the Gulf of America? Hurricanes for 2025 are planning to hit on the Gulf of America side, travel and across the state to sneak in and hit MarALardo. Hopefully he'll be home then. I'd love to see a video of him floating around in his living room. 🤣🤣🤣
Not being American, it seems strange to me that a President can talk about abolishing the Department of Education, and no-one in his party would say "Are you absolutely SURE about this?" Let alone "Have you lost your fucking mind?"
This is Russia 1999 I read per one historian. The services the federal government provides are destroyed and then put up for sale to the highest bidders. It’s going to all be privatized. In which case none of us should pay any tax. Why pay the government for any service it does not provide?
This administration is giving way to lawlessness. They're reverting the country back to the 1800's in the wild west with regard to federal laws and protections
While we sat idly by while charter schools exploded, educators lost any power we had as a voting block to protect education. When a decade of headline after headline of charter "Superintendents" stealing tax dollars isn't on the front page of every union newsletter, we are part of the problem.

A Party not about winning elections. A party of revolution. Check out liberation news. Liberation school. The Socialist Program with Brian Becker.
A whole lot has been learned since the 1917 people's revolution. Claudia de la cruz karina Garcia great leaders. Among many.
Clearly Trump is a DEI hire, because the three national elections he participated in, the other choice had more merit each time🇺🇸Including the incompetent candidate tests our Constitution: will it prevail?Will Congress survive?🇺🇸Will we change course midterm? Will the elected women unite and end this🦅
In order to privatize - to auction off to oligarchs. I would bet anything to include citizenship in the deal if they are Russian. Dual citizenship by then..
Why did she film this in his car? Is it for optics? Randi Weingarten is like super wealthy. It's seems kind of artificial — I suppose optically it's supposed to be nice or something though.
Turning legally mandated programs into a malicious compliance mockery of their legislated intent has been SOP for sad little "conservative" functionaries for my entire life.
Doing it so broadly at the Presidential level is new.
Yeah, it’s not about the budget or saving money. It’s about hamstringing these government agencies and then telling the public that their missions were flawed and should either be privatized or done away with altogether. That’s the plan. It’s always been the plan.

trump will get McMahon to cut Dept of Education and then stick her with the blame...trump has been advised that he cannot abolish a cabinet, only the Senate may, but he seems to keep forgetting this...curious...
With no government you'll have only slave masters. Government is where people have held their human rights. There is no bill of rights in a corporation.
The Secret of Money https://tinyurl.com/llog5o3
This is how they get the public to support what they're doing. Break the government, then say Look! Government doesn't work! Then set about privatizing everything.
This all has a direct line back to 2000 and the Bush W administration. There was a "wrecking crew" that wanted to make all of these departments dysfunctional. It didn't really work, so now, circumvent or ignore law, and kill it all that way.
This is a Hitler style move to go after education, government accountability, legal system, military, and so on. Wake up America because Trump & Elon are coming after Canada & Greenland too:
musk and trump and republicans are cowards, afraid to act out so they will be blamed when it all crashes down on americans. so they kneecap these departments so brutally that they cannot serve the people they were created to serve. it's only a matter of time until americans hurt and hurt badly.
Krasnov has an outstanding record of running businesses into the ground. So by the time Congress does abolish the Department of Education, it will be seen as inevitable - and a relief.
Real estate developers do this with heritage properties that are in their way. See the pattern?
This is a kinda infinite loop. Execution of law is left to the executive branch. Even if the judiciary tells him no (and I do not have your faith in SCOTUS), the judiciary cannot execute a single thing. They don't even have bailiffs, they have the US Marshals - which answer to the executive branch.
Executive branch often acts via White House counsel or DOJ lawyers, who cherish their ability to practice law for livelihood, and who must follow court orders or risk suspended license or permanent disbarment.
Contempt and bar referrals for noncompliance can be effective, even w/o loyal marshals.
Read Barrett’s Concurrence in Trump v US carefully. She and Roberts are not a rubber stamp for this administration, and I suspect they may be able to peel off gorsuch or kavanaugh as well depending on the issue.
Further, if the executive simply chooses to ignore the courts it endangers the entire federalist society project and they will exert political pressure through other means. Every member of congress lives or dies on law firm money.
Can it legally be argued that intentionally rendering a department ineffective by forcing terminations and thus achieving the same result of abolition through indirect means is also... unconstitutional?
Полностью согласна. Президент не может самостоятельно ликвидировать Министерство образования. Он может лишь делать правительство неэффективным путем тысячи ударов.
The fascist filth, leadership of both parties and our billionaire oligarchy have been at it for 44 years in the US. What is happening with the unmentionable embarrassment marionette under the psychopath megalomaniac Elon Musk is just the denouement. It is time to arrest the wealthiest billionaires.
They want to destroy the education system I'm referring to Trump and his sycophants, so they can have poor, uneducated, compliant workforce that the can throw crumbs at. It reminds me of a movie I once saw where the rich aristocratic family would give scraps to the servants and did it proudly.
As in Europe when they have nationwide general strikes, pre-2020 Yellow Vests (Jilets Jaunes) in France with their well developed list of policy demands is what we must now do in the US and should have already done with all policy regressions going back 44 years. We must revolt against billionaires.
The G(ang) O(f) P(utin), the Gang, is allowing him to do that...but to be fair, anyone who stands up will be bullied from on high, bullied by true worshipping peers, will be primaried, will face a horde of on-line Sturmabteilung (SA), receive death threats, and maybe face a violent lone wolf...
Withholding funding that Congress appropriated is also illegal though. The problem is that no one is holding Trump accountable. This is an auto-coup by a criminal party that has abandoned democracy. There's really only one remedy for that.
It's what they're doing for now, but a Republican Congress will not vote against Trump's wishes so if it comes b4 Congress while it's in a Republican majority? Kiss it goodbye.
I believe it’s also about control. Don’t give the people the tools to know any better and you can be their sole source of information. You can get them to do whatever you want when you alone control the flow of information. Weaponized knowledge.
We are seeing the biggest democracy falling.
stand up Americans,don’t be afraid,do not let happen to US what happened to EU & live for years under the cruelty of a fascist. It is an inhuman atrocity. People become zombies
Fight to get your children a future of peace & freedom
Whoever dumps handler is...that person is hitting each pillar institution at the elbow joint. It will heal eventually but you won't be playing pro ball buddy.
Trump and Musk are doing the same thing with social security: fires 50% of the SS workers and that cripples the system so that Senior Citizens don’t get SS checks!
This hard: who is going to do that? Law enforcement is in the executive branch, so under Trump and his toadies, and the Republicans in Congress will not impeach.
Then I guess we just need to have a revolution kinda like the French revolution where middle class is tired of the oligarchs making all the money! Just like come to that

All for Trump and Trump for One. Enjoy you Red states when grandpa gets no healthcare or social security. And you get no mail and your autistic children are left behind with no Dept of Education to protect them. The GOP has turned a class system into a caste system. Enjoy.
It was all pre planned in PROJECT 2025. Prior to the election and now we are seeing it all coming together by the 78 year old convicted felon with dementia.
What I don't understand is, how can he even do that? Outside of an emergency where there's no funding how can he arbitrarily decide he's just going to fire most of the workforce? It seems that would naturally conflict with an obligation to make sure the laws are faithfully executed.
Congress creates these Departments and agencies, and funds them to fulfill those statutory obligations; it just seems like that would inherently be illegal.
Y’all keep citing the Constitution or laws about what the MAGATS can’t do. They don’t give a damn about the Constitution and have a puppet SCOTUS. Law won’t stop them- we must do it ourselves.
Our problem is that all of them are in on it. They don't like the baby that's in the bath water so they're throwing out the baby and the bathwater. We all know what this will cost. Anytime you don't study something before you do something you cause chaos.
I am in education people keep saying only Congress abolish the DOE. And not to worry.. But This admin isn't following any rules so why should we expect him to now? @rweingarten.bsky.social
National union and wildcat strikes are the only solution. I doubt it's happening, but I hope AFT, AFSCME, IBT, USW, UAW, SAG, Railroad, ILA, etc. etc. are planning NATIONAL strikes starting yesterday. Europeans know how to do it. I'm not sure u s workers will ever be ready to operate at that level.
When congress creates and funds these departments, isn't it with the intent that the president will effectively staff them so they can carry out their intended purpose?
I know judge alito is too stupid to get this, but I think any judge with an ounce of brains would.

It should be crystal clear to all, that Trump's traitorous deception and betrayal of The People will result in the fall of this nation. His motivation is one of greed and corruption. He has allowed a Nazi to buy his election and dismantle our Democratic and financial system. We must rise up!
he has no clue how government runs! He’s just lazy all he wants to do is sign executive orders and eat junk food. Oh yeah, and play golf. In the meantime, he’s creating havoc and ruining the lives of American people. He needs to go.
So you are saying that Congress makes the laws. As I recall, Trump swore an oath to uphold the laws. If he doesn't, what is Congress's recourse? Apparently, roll over and play dead.
It's a ludicrous thought on its face, isn't it? That the government of the world's most consequential nation doesn't need a cabinet level agency focused on education. We will survive Trump. The open question is how long will the clean up take.
They'll break it, and then they'll point out that it's broken, and then they'll sell if off so that future Americans get to pay more and getting less in return.
A segment of society gave him permission to do this. He allowed them to get all riled up about CRT, he allowed his people to call teachers groomers, he started the anger about books and lgbtqi story time. Etc etc

I believe he is doing it to several departments: Hollow them out to make them nonfunctioning, then accuse them of nonfunctioning and eliminate or privatize them.
Time to arrest EM and TP. Harming workers, labor rights in general, equality, human-civil-worker rights at all is extreme violence. Time also for nationwide general strikes, which should begin in mid-April.
Yes. In every Govt. Department. By the time it's all settled in court, Putin/trump will have broken the U.S. and made us easy to give up our democracy... proving to the world that democracy doesnt work.
What are they replacing it with? Oh, I know, private contractors who will report to gazillionair tech leaders and dump.
Also, selling government buildings to corporations and those same gazillianairs, destroys our history around the country and Washington DC of our history.
It's the same Repukelicans playbook. Make things so bad when they are in charge, the public starts hating the government. Then they blame Democrats for the problems that THEY CREATED!
Thanks. That’s exactly what they’re doing with every department and agency and why they selected the unqualified, awful leaders the GOP voted to put in place.
Same strategy that has taken place for decades with USPS:
- GOP hamstrung it with hanging unprecedented pension obligations around their neck
- Don't approve proposed new business opportunities to >revenue
- Break it to make it less effective & inefficient so people "think" it doesn't work
🖕
We need to ask ourselves, how does making government ineffective help Americans and hurt our adversaries? Answer, it doesn't. It hurts the US and bolsters Russia and China. So why would a US president and the Republican Party want to help Russia and China?

Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it illegal. Common misconception on Bluesky.

Now they appoint a "President" that does nothing but that, lol.
What I hate about #MAGA is they can't even follow their own values for long before they embrace the complete opposite out of "necessity"

That's inconsistent with his affirmative duty as expressly stated in Constitution Art. II §3 to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
