As an America Lit teacher, I applied for NEH grants every summer to study American History with scholars from all over the country. I studied in Washington DC and Charleston and Atlanta and Simi Valley with NEH scholarships. NEH makes good teachers better—that is why Trump dismantled the program.

Tulsi Gabbard, again, states she has removed Hillary Clinton’s security clearance. August 30, 2018. Hillary Clinton asked for her security clearance be removed. This was nearly 7 years ago. It was removed by the State Department as per her request. Chuck Grassley released the letter.

Nothing convinces me that Stephen Miller uses EOs to give Trump regular dopamine hits so he feels he is in charge like the serial stripping of security clearances.
