The Department of Education is (was?) responsible for: ✅Distributing & monitoring spending for special-ed & low-income students; ✅Facilitating postsecondary financial aid; & ✅Civil rights enforcement Impossible to see how dismantling it will do anything but hurt kids & students.

I follow multiple financial subs on Reddit. Most have new posts every day of people panicking about the economy...with one notable exception: The 'lower class' ones (e.x. r/povertyfinance) have largely chugged along like normal. Everyone else's emergency state is our daily life. 😂😭

This is unbelievable. The Washington Post reveals that an aide working for Mike Johnson persuaded Republicans not to issue a subpoena for former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified to the Jan. 6 committee—fearing it could expose the sexual texts many of them had sent her.

I say we lean into Trump's executive order on gender. Get rid of all men's bathrooms, men's locker rooms, and men's spaces since men no longer exist. No more draft registration because men don't exist. No more men's sports because men don't exist.

Trump is convinced Californians are desperate and meanwhile Mexico and Canada are both offering for us to leave the U.S. to join them. Same vibes as the dude insisting his ex is desolate without him when she's got her pick of dates to choose from. Befitting for the Divorced Deadbeat Dad™ campaign.

Repeating my helpful little mnemonic song from Twitter: If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏 If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏 If you can't get there without him And you don't know much about him If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

The most baffling part of the positive social media embrace of Luigi Mangione and the UHC CEO assassination is how much of it is coming from the right. Ya'll voted in that CEO's benefit, for his sake, and to your own detriment, yet you're happy he's dead? Makes no sense.

“We can simply choke off the money,” Trump said in a 2023 campaign video. “For 200 years under our system of government, it was undisputed that the president had the constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending.”

20 mostly white private academies, all founded in the 1960s and 1970s, brought in more than $20 million from North Carolina in the past three years alone. None reflected the demographics of their communities. Few even came close.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The Onion acquiring Infowars happened because BlueSky made a joke to @bencollins.bsky.social, and @bencollins.bsky.social working to acquire The Onion happened because he made a joke on BlueSky. Basically, joke about your dreams on BlueSky, it's a wish factory.
