President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order aimed at eventually closing the Education Department and, in the short term, dismantling it from within, according to three people briefed on its contents.

Omg The Amazon Prime Post. It's almost out of a project 2025 that was known about a year ago, but the Deals got in the way of the reporting. Omg. Say it ain't so.
It's so nice to see the 'Bus Window Licker in Chief' see no value in education. Well, it is no surprise, since trump is just playing president by sitting at the desk, doodling every day on EO. Then, he runs off to a golf course for recess.
The 🟧🤡 and his rich thugs are doing THE BIGGEST HEIST IN HISTORY AND WE WILL ALL PAY FOR IT SOME WITH THEIR LIVES! #plutocracy #oligarchy #project2025 #autocracy

BLOG: What is Musk doing with the US government? VERY interesting parallels between South Africa's state capture under President Zuma and current events in the US. Is Musk inspired to repeat in the US what happened in South Africa? Read on and make up your own mind. https://www.jandehn.com/post/elon-musk-s-gift-to-the-us-state-capture
"... as DOGE, without required security clearances, illegally mines classified data". There, I fixed your headline. Oh, wait, that was the original until Bezos forced you to chance it the same way he forced you to rescind your endorsement of Harris/Walz.
My 81 year old mother just burst into tears saying how she can’t take the stress of being American. She then stated she was going to make a cup of tea to make her feel better.
Check on your loved ones. Create some safe spaces. Drink some tea.
Does anyone else remember when we all laughed at Rick Perry in 2011 when he suggested during a debate to get rid to the dept of Ed then spaced out for almost a minute trying to remember dept of energy? I thought we laughed that concept away then. Why is it back? Also, bezos, your paper is biased.
This is so wrong on many fronts. Where's the prof this needs to happen to begin with. What's the reasoning to put works out of work that are fighting the good fight to keep our kids educated. I think this is the way to start dumbing down voters.
More from the Project 2025 manual you said he wouldn't implement.
It's difficult to fight the loss of democracy when you won't educate properly, and the press suppress pertinent information and suck up to the autocrat.
Treasury Secretary , Scott Bessen opened U.S. checkbook to Musk’s DOGE folks, your $…so you may not get that SS check, your med bills may not pd. by Medicare, kids schools not funded, and on & on.
Act NOW! Get Dems to stop him in Congress. Hit phones, streets, … do what you can. If you love US.
My conservative coworker SWORE up and down that Trump would never go after the Education Department. ‘That’s just fear-mongering!’ And yet… here we are. Reality really does hit different, huh?
The draft order acknowledges that only Congress can shut down the department and instead directs the agency to begin to diminish itself, these people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The new administration has been trying to reduce the workforce by putting scores of employees on administrative leave and pressuring staff to voluntarily quit.
And a large part of the reason it is underway is there is this really rich bald prick who bought one of the last real newspapers in the world and destroyed it in favor of a big glass of Orange Crush.
…and sloppy seconds at the NASA necro-orgy after Elmo.

It would have been nice if the Washington Post had covered this before the election, instead of publishing upteenth "But Hunter..." stories. There was just tepid coverage of Project2025, as I recall.
Oh well, Democracy Died Under Bezos' Fat Ass, I guess
I think more broadly it’s an assault on education. If you learn anything about science, the ideas of a 6000 year old earth and women and nonwhites being equal start to sound insane.
O norte-americano do interiorzão já é em geral considerado um tanto burro e desinformado. Imaginem agora que o despresidente neofascista deles quer desmanchar o departamento (equivalente a nosso Ministério) de Educação! Quer mais burros manipuláveis no país para se manter tranquilo no poder.
Congress, the President is admitting you have power. Use it! We, the people, are organizing and marching against this tyranny. https://Congress.gov, @democrats.org please join us in the #fight

Tell your Republican Reps how you feel about this! If you've told them before, tell them again. Let them know you are watching what they are doing, and we WILL hold them accountable.

As a former principal and special education, supervisor, the dismantling of the department of education will cripple our local school districts again in increasing the tax burden on individuals living in a specific school district. There is no way that a district can afford to subsidize Special Ed
The other 'ISOLATIONIST' country with Southern border issues.
A crashed economy.
A corrupt wannabe dictator.
A maniacal leader that obsesses about cheating at golf.

Dismantling the Del of Ed would result in higher taxes for every single person who uses public school. States will get less funding from the gvt, and therefore state and local governments will have to increase taxes to cover
They don't need educated people questioning him about his crimes. The problem is that educated people do not just stop thinking because the Fuhrer issues an order.
Honestly, he probably doesn't care. He's not doing this as a free-thinking adult, his strings are being pulled and he's doing this because he has presidential immunity and can make money while doing what he's told.
"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." Thos Jefferson (possibly). I said it before, I will say it again -- this is why Republicans do not support high-quality free education in the form of public schools.
Want more proof Trump's reactionary destroying society and a basis for our prosperity. The Department of Education has brought polices that uplifted children and their right to an equal education, regardless of handicaps or learning difficulties. Education is a national security issue since the 60s.

Omg. Too late to clutch your pearls now.
#fdic #treasury #marketcrash2025 IS OUR MONEY in the BANK SAFE?!
DEMONSTRATE SOME FREAKING EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP?
And fight the wholesale theft of the country?
THE DEMS DON’T GOT IT, FFS.
KNOCK! KNOCK! ANYONE?!
NO MORE CLICHES. ACTION!
Nowhere in the headline or sub-header do you mention the word "Illegal". Or "without authority".
Trump and DOGE have no legal standing whatsoever. None.
Downplaying this is why they feel empowered. You are helping them.
Ben Bradlee is rolling in his grave at you.
Don't normalize this sh*t.
We really don't matter, anyway.
Check on your loved ones. Create some safe spaces. Drink some tea.

Everyone is unwittingly giving it a credibility it doesn’t deserve. It’s Elon and his randomly selected boy band of hackers
