Murray: Those funds were appropriated by congress and your department was to allocate them and it looks like the department is illegally impounding funding…

“Illegal” doesn’t mean the same in DC as it means to the rest of us unfortunately. Everyday politicians do “illegal” things with zero repercussions. So tired of the bullshit from all.
I wish the kids that are impacted by these republican idiots could sue the republican party for this “ILLEGAL” seizure/detention of funds that were already allocated by congress.
What’s it gonna take before these bastards are removed?
The republican cult is the reason this country is so hated!
Why does LM think the funds appropriated by Congress for illiteracy are merely a suggestion and HER department (education) will decide if the funds are best used for illiteracy ?
I keep seeing these... people...in these departmental positions doing illegal things, many times unconstitutional but they never lose their jobs. That is mind-numbing.
Anyone that would partner with Vince McMahon is more than likely going to be an unethical sleazeball. Look what a knuckle-dragger Hulk Hogan turned out to be. I bet if she has grandkids they start crying when mom and dad say that they have to go for a visit to grandma & grandpa's house.
When is a member of Congress going to straight out ask if McMahon believes she is accountable to follow the law? Ask her if she thinks she’s “special” and doesn’t have to follow the law like everyday Americans? And when are they going to get mad (cuz the rest of us are way past our boiling point).
McMahon circles the question and obviously reveals that her department has no plans to allocate the funds ALREADY ALLOCATED by Congress.
How can this dumbass sycophant actually run anything other than what Project2025 orders her to do without breaking laws governing approved expenditures?

The mad king gave the hag her marching orders to completely fuck up the education department. She’s doing what he wants her to do! If we controlled the house and senate, we could do something about it. Elections have consequences, and those dem voters who
didn’t vote really screwed the country.
I worry how taxpayer money is being spent when I see the resulting economic, health, military, environment, etc. expenditures and potential negative outcomes. Sorta like a lab rat in an ill-conceived experiment.
Hidden message here « guys get your a** moving NOW to get them $$$$ out somewhere they can’t find them and continue wasting time and we all get richer …why don’t you go buy Trump and Melania bitcoins… gogogo move! »
What Republicans will do with that money is pay for scam voucher programs and make sure it doesn’t go to public schools. It’s a main goal of Repub leaders to destroy public education cause we know why
I think that we have a lot of money from these programs already funded by Congress but clawed back that have ended up in felon’s pockets. Same with doge, USAID, & everything else they did like tariffs-there is NO money going into the treasury. And gqp is spending WAY more than they ever will save.
1. Defund schools that do not teach MAGA
2. Close minority schools
3. Open 'Christian' schools for profit
4 Only the wealthy go to college (conservative colleges)
I want an outline and a timeline! An outline of what the priorities for education are, and a timeline showing when actions will be taken, such as sending the already allocated funds. Does the woman ever do any real work?
Screw the delineated outline, she should follow the allocations as "appropriated and scheduled by CONGRESS!" I can't fuc#"->ing handle these greedy, sneaky grifters put in office by the criminal Miscreant in Chief!! Enough!
"well, the funds we are approving, will go out this year" - she keeps saying the ones we deem worthy - congress voted for the funds to be APPROPRIATED to the US taxpayers school districts, not for this con artist wrestling hack to keep pushing it to the end!
The rule of law is not respected by this administration, and all the Republicans are looking the other way. Trump also seems to be promoting corruption, with his pardons and with his administration dropping corruption investigations.
I will never understand the trickle down effect of devotion to him, why so many are willing to give up their ethics for this cretin. If he were sharp and presented himself well, you could almost understand it, but not this.
They 'like him" because he is a belligerent asshole who never stops insulting anyone in his path. He is a dick, and they think everything negative is "funny". They have no morality anymore, they just laugh when people feel pain.
Not society; government. Brought to us by a New York Con Man. He was well known for his cons in the 80's. It was that "You're Fired" tv show that sane washed him first, then FOX "News." Sorry I can't remember the name of that slimey TV show, but anyone associated with it should be blackballed.
Trump and company are using what are now apparent loopholes in our constitution. If @democrats.org continue to behave like our old ways of conducting governance actually work well then they will have contributed even more to the demise of our democracy and republic.
Sue these enablers for failing to do the most basic aspects of their job. Sue them directly, force them to personally pay for their fealty to Dear Leader. Because in the end, they are the sole reason he hangs onto power. And they are actively destroying our Democracy by ignoring Congress' power.
Every last one must be tried in court, made to pay reparations to the ppl & govt, then thrown in prison-I care not where. Not just the regime cabinet but elected gqp who enabled this mess. They’ve destroyed us. I’m personally harmed by what they’ve done as we all are & the country. Class action suit
When all of these nefarious operations are struck down by the courts months or years after the damage has been done, who will pay for the damage? Who will recover lost jobs, progress, health, lives? Who will bring back the dead?
Repubs don't care and Courts think of time as nothing.
Every week, every hearing, congressmembers say the same thing and the Administration obfuscates and does nothing to remedy their illegal behavior. How long are we going to keep going through these motions with zero accountability?
We need the Democratics members of the House in our respective states to start cajoling, influencing, do whatever it takes to convince the Republican members of the House in our respective states to start representing their districts vs representing the districts of Elon, Trump and Vought.
You also can't write what I wanted to write. But seriously, I want my congressman, Adam Smith, to be in one of the two Republican districts in the state every single day, at their offices, holding town halls, etc. Get the Republican congressmen to represent their districts or get them replaced.
yeah, ask all the biting questions you want, get an instagram moment that makes the GOP look stupid, none of it matters. they know they just need to stonewall through the hearing and then nothing will happen.
a few people need to be perpwalked to put some fear in them
I'm really not sure why I'm here and it's obvious I have no idea what the Department of Education does. I'm part of the WWF or E I get confused, my husband runs it so why I got this position.
Somebody gobsmack that pitiful excuse for a public servant! She's not qualified to lead a herd of sheep, much less ANYTHING to do with children and education!
I wonder if Linda McMahon knows the difference between fiscal and calendar year? School districts are in a crunch to get their 2025-26 budgets in now! At this point, the SDs are doing that blindly!!
Maybe federal dollars should stay in the states!!???
Didn’t she ask her about ALLOCATED dollars. They divert, change the subject, skirt the issue, never actually give an answer. Are they sent to training to learn how to do this? It’s like an evil superpower
Dems reel these unanswered questions in and nail timelines and follow up aggressively. You are demonstrating weakness by not pinning this down and letting these a-holes kick the can down the road time after time while they take the funds out and redisperse in the middle of the night.
Bottom line appropriations by Congress to this administration means 0.
It's time to call it by what it is
A serious attempt to abolish democracy to the fullest
Stand UP CONGRESS Members
No more discussions
Only demands by taking a stand
These senators often times aren’t good at cross exam. McMahon said the funds would go out this biennium for programs they approved. Murray’s next sentence shouldn’t have been we’re running out of time but “will you promise to approve programs that allocate all the appropriation”
Murray needed to question like it was a deposition and try for actual timeline, what review is the agency doing before allocation, what standards are being used for the review etc. Once McMahon mangles answers, impeach with inconsistent statements & remind woman she is under oath.
Is ever female Congress Rep a plastic surgeon’s recreation of ‘normality? Or are these ‘creations of Frankenstein’ restricted to those with a MAGA connection?
They are stuffing their pockets with as much cash as they can. Republicans have been waiting to do it for decades and now they can do it without having to hide it.
And she’s like……Ya and your point is?
They all know what they’re doing is illegal. The world knows it. But nothing is being done to make them accountable.
Once that’s starts then let’s talk about saving democracy shall we!
And that thought has to creep into at least some of these members of congress because all he does is shit on them when they are of no more use.
Are they gonna want to do time for him at the end of this?
Tell the world you are an ignorant sycophantic placeholder doing the bidding of the regime without telling the world you are an ignorant sycophantic placeholder doing the bidding of the regime.
What a fucking waste of space.
This so-called "cabinet" is simply the "I'll have to get back to you" or "I don't have those figures with me" cabinet. WTH do they think they came to a hearing? For mimosas? Jeezzzusss....😞
Every single cabinet member is “looking into it” when asked about funding not allocated or budgets not completed. What the hell are they actually doing?
This is a joke! We’re looking to see if those funds are going to be allocated? Go back to the WWE and take your hands off of education because you’re clearly not qualified.! I can’t!!
I'm absolutely sick of the lack of accountability from these unqualified cabinet members likd McMahon. This is mind-bogglingly ridiculous and unacceptable.
"We already cashed the check and deposited the money into our personal accounts. We're making up an invoice to fool you as we speak. Sorry, not sorry."

It all changes the moment a member of congress, the senate, or a high-ranking military leader, publicly says "trump must be removed".
Make them do their sworn duty before we're all dead.
How thick? I think she needs to allocate some of those funds to a private tutor for her!
she's def trying to loot
some cash to
buy Trump Bibles
from the Church of Latter Day TACOs
Meaning them and this entire administration
Hold her feet to the fire.
WWE string alongs don't work in real world.
Isn't there room for a strong response? They're not going to change with stern words.
