Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all,” although the agency cannot be closed without the approval of Congress.

MAGA doesn’t know what the department of education does and it’s impossible to argue with them. It’s a sad day for America and these cultist are eating it up as a win.
Absurd EXORD is the absolute most correct description. If a POTUS could simply write an EXORD and destroy something/anything that had been approved and created by Congress, this would have been done and settled as SNAFU a very long time ago. It hasn't because it is unconstitutional. Tyranny unbound!
The Legislative Branch of our Government has abdicated their power and authority to the Executive Branch because they would rather be complicit in pursuit of maintaining favor with Trumps base. The Judicial Branch is Complicit as well. 1 party is weak and soft. The other is abhorrent.
Nahhhhhh let's just keep taking a looksie. Wait and see. Everything will be fine. Nothing to worry about here. Stop being a fear monger. We all just need to be nice to each other.
Come together and sing kumbaya. C'mon, group hug.
what makes you think that's gonna stop him? what makes you think we're still living under protection of the constitution? we're in their world now, they don't give a fuck about congress
He doesn’t know what the hell he is signing nor does he care. All he cares about is what’s in it for him..and there’s always something in it for him. Stupid sob
Members of Congress:
Wake up, speak up, act up, wise up before it's too late. Put the nation and its citizens before your reelection. Don't cower in the corner as this administration wrecks the economy, threatens the judiciary, and tramples our rights.
Tom Horne, AZ Superintendent of Public instruction is likely celebrating this but AZ Attorney General, Kris Mayes, has sued the Trump Administration as some other states have.
Check out propaganda already being posted since the EO signed. Unbelievable. I shared my thoughts and encourage others to do the same. I will fight for my daughters IEP and education to the ends of the earth. @usedgov.bsky.social
My daughter had an IEP. The school district will manipulate the data to meet the minimum federal requirements for the district. I hope she has a good teacher. My daughter had a good teacher when I sued the district to get her one that met the law. The administrators are all about nonsense.
U.S. will be lucky to find Military recruits able to do anything but throw rocks like Tot Donald. In the meantime he's dismissed 66 per cent of the troops as being DEI hires. That's not counting religion or sexual orientation. The unwanted troops need an @altPentagon and a real Commander in Chief
Correct me if I'm wrong but... couldn't they just gut the Department so much that it's quite literally a empty shell? 😕
Maybe they want an empty husk of a Department rather than going through the process of Congress approval.
I've been asking my GOP Rep in the House when is he going to file articles of impeachment for the past six weeks. He's my former Sheriff who is backing a 34x felon from New York. My issues are not policy, which is what I get in reply from the idiot when I do get a reply addressed to me.
Trump thinks he is a Dictator. Congress has no balls to stop him. In just another month democracy will be dead and the republic will be destroyed. We might as well prepare to burn the American flag.
If Dems leadership is fighting, I'm not seeing it. People are angry. GOP don't want to do town halls. My Rep says we act a fool at them. Been over 2000 days since he had one.
All I'm seeing is from the Dems is Sanders, AOC, Chris Murphy. not much from leadership, especially Senate leadership
Control & manipulation is easier with uneducated citizens. The #ForeverFelon (it will be in his obituary) attempts to destroy of government & society. BUT! We are the #Resistance & will Fight BACK!✊🏻💙✌🏻
A malevolent person,who knows nothing but hate,and conspicuously envious of the mere POSSIBILITY that kids could have access to education & succeed academically. Always more interested in inflicting pain, and eager to deny people the possibility of succeeding where he has failed.
@altnps.bsky.social Keep an eye on these posts. You’ll see an occasional person promoting action that is not peaceful. That is not the nature of the group, but could result in someone doing something dumb or the group being targeted. I recommend deleting those comments.
MF doing this shit cause
1. To give all his buddies tax breaks
2. Make ppl less educated so there’s more “red” in our country.
I have a feeling we’re going to have a lot more Americans get hit w reality in the near future it’s only a matter of if they will accept the truth or fall deeper
They are dispicable cowards. Closing a federal government requires 60 votes. In the meantime, he will do as much damage as he can without actually shutting it. There is no pretense. As with Medicaid, Snap, and USAID, they are going after the most vulnerable among us: our children.
"I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I, send me.'"
I am slow to anger, even slower to be provoked. I'm feeling very provoked by what this wack job president and bunch of DOGE incels are doing to this country.
Chuck Edwards, NC said multiple times in his town hall that he has always supported abolishing the department of education. There were lots of booing. His take away from the event was that he was doing what the American people sent him to do. Not sure how that was his take away.
States already control education. The dept was created to help underserved students and the most vulnerable, to address issues of discrimination, and also to create a path to higher education. Every college student (avg income ones) depends on the dept. Don’t look away from the wreckage.
He just assumes he will get his way because its "his" Congress. And the Republicans also just gave up on having any power. They just show up (maybe), rubber stamp him, get paid, and go do whatever else that isn't governing.
Trump violating the Constitution, & his oath of office, again. He is supposed to "make sure the laws are faithfully executed." He isn't a King, no matter how much he wants it. The Dep't of Education was created by Congress & passed into law. A "Great" nation values education. Trump undermines it.
There may be no legal, legitimate way to close the agency without approval of congress. But following the law doesn't seem to be a high priority for this guy. He's spent the last couple of months doing things he cannot do
I really don’t get the hatred for DofEd. Is it just because some folk want to control their children’s minds? Thats such a stupid reason to destroy a govt agency that helps people. Which is supposed to be the job of every federal agency. Helping, enforcing laws, protecting…
Here’s the thing, if he’s pushing the education back to the states then he shouldn’t be withholding funds to universities that support trans athletes. Oh but that would be asking for fair & equitable action. A pipe dream
Not that I want the DoE to be closed as it does do a lot of good. But if it were to be abolished then that means I don't have to pay off my student loans, right? No department should equal no loans. Anyone? Bueller?
Yes and no. The ones in power are too cowardly to do it. Theyre all getting paid too much and fear loosing the pay (politicians should be paid minimum wage to prevent this and to increase minimum). But the way to remove him is unfortunately for him the process he faked a few times while campaigning
Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York tweeted, "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
He has a history of caving. It’s time for new leaders
Every Republican in congress would be game to get rid of it. They don’t give a crap about the American people. They keep Americans dumb, they keep voting them in office cause they don’t know any better that they are the bad guys.
Rebuild it bigger stronger and more robust! They are going to regret this when their kids are stupid and kids in blue states surge in science math and basic knowledge skills thst prepare them to lead informed lives
Kids are already stupid with stupid parents. That’s how this happened. Keep them dumb and poor. Scare the crap out of them “the immigrants are eating your pets.” Then you can control them. He wants us all to have a red state mentality.
Revenue wise… they wouldnt. A lot of tax dollars going from new york, california to the deep south for even basic infrastructure. Not saying they shouldnt have it, but if blue states pull out, no funds
Deep south red states consistently vote against their own best interests & the rest of us support them for their bad choices. I'm definitely in favor of being the *United* states but are we?Red states are at the bottom in metrics people want for a good/safe life but it seems like they don't care.
We should separate ourselves from them and let them wallow in their own mess building a sort of firewall would be ideal Red states are leeching and not contributing
Every abuse and illegal act by Trump is a sign that he has no intention to let go of power anymore. To do this he has to dismantle democratic institutions. That is why regime change is imperative and ASAP.
Sadly, we all knew this was coming, just as dismantling roe, DOJ FBI Pentagon, and so many other programs. So save your energy for the fights, pick your battles carefully, remember you are stronger together.
It's a Russian playbook. In negotiations, start with making completely ridiculous claims and when you are done you will have more than you started with.
This is what he seems to do shut everything down then the courts come and say you can’t do that and then they put it back, but they put it back terribly. This has to stop.
Destroy all federal departments and the poor will follow along for the meager scraps offered. Any monies "saved" will be rerouted towards personal bank accounts. None of it will be put into social or assistance programs
We are watching the brick wall being built that will eventually lead to the government being stuck between a rock and a hard place. The fascists are trying to make it impossible to re-establish any of these institutions. We are going to lose all flexibility and collapse under our own weight.
So, how does one argue against a elected official doing „illegal” things? It is clear that Congress does not give a flying fudge about what the citizens want or what is best for the citizens.
It's like he thinks the laws don't apply to him...wait...NEVERMIND.

Trump pretends he can kill the Dept of Ed,
But an act of Congress is needed instead.
But that truth will never reach his base.
They’ll cheer for him as he lies to their face.
Chuck Schumer: "Okay, you can destroy the Department of Education, but after that, I'm gonna be really darn peeved."
I really don't have faith that this government body of both fascists and cowards will stop this. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't have much faith.
Trump’s obsession with gutting education isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control. An uneducated public is easier to manipulate. Congress must block this reckless move before millions of students pay the price. #DefendEducation #StopTheStupidity
Agreeing with the first part of your comment about control.
Regarding Congress—it’s bought and paid for on the R side of the aisle. Several Ds are ineffectual. And only a handful are actually standing up and speaking out.
Where are the Democrats? Why are our civilian and military leaders who swore to “defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” not defending our Constitution & democracy against Trump’s ransacking of our government, institutions, public goods & services?
So... the cr passed because 10 dems caved including Schumer. The senate needs 7 dems to dismantle doe... start calling senators. While we are at it petition the removal of Schumer as minority leader.
Linda McMahon is going to make it not be able to run from the inside. So that they can bypass congress. If you make it run like shit and not usable really no need for congress. Same there trying to do for everything else.
I called his office about it and his staffer was like "he's confident the existing money will last a long time and they'll spread it around the states" and, as an educator, I had to pop that staffer's bubble about how long that money is going to last (especially since I'm in a voucher state)
What a collection of nut jobs. I am wondering if any of those clowns posing with weapons actually trained and served in the military. They are wannabe weekend warriors. Fascists.
Clearly he didn’t understand that part of the oath to: Faithfully Discharge the Duties…
Can someone please just point this out to him so we can get back on track?
Why is he and his supporters so freaking evil? They want to control it all on a local level so they can indoctrinate kids into religious “Christian” ideal.
I challenge congress and our justice department as well as our military to enforce our constitution and arrest Traitor Trump now! Just DO IT!!!!He has destroyed so much already and he won’t stop until someone stops him!!!!!

95% of what he's doing needs approval from congress. The law isn't the law unless its enforced.
Republicans are bending over, and Democrats are spineless cowards.
No one is coming to save us, we have to save ourselves.
Wake up, speak up, act up, wise up before it's too late. Put the nation and its citizens before your reelection. Don't cower in the corner as this administration wrecks the economy, threatens the judiciary, and tramples our rights.

It looks like he's already firing employees and shutting down programs. Is that koshur? If not, is their only recourse through the courts?

Regarding Congress—it’s bought and paid for on the R side of the aisle. Several Ds are ineffectual. And only a handful are actually standing up and speaking out.
This isn't a left vs right issue. It's a rich vs the rest of us issue.
The only question left is how much is the public willing to take before they push back?
