Don't worry, Congress holds the purse/wallet so nothing can get done without their approval as they have the spending power. That is unless they hijack the payment systems to no longer require congress and making complete control one step closer...
Ohhhh... wait....
That's by design, they stay silent and don't take the polling hit.
The Republicans have all the power in Congress and they are all afraid of Trump.
If NBC thinks he needs an act of Congress then they haven't been paying paying attention to USAID.
Who the fuck am I kidding, they know damn well what's going on and refuse to print it.
This is one people should seriously protest to fucking stop. Education is the one thing that levels the playing field for people across different socioeconomic backgrounds. Get on the phone to your representatives, this is the main one they were working towards and wanted to distract from!

Exactly, and that'll be why it's one of the first things they want to piss all over.
And the sad part is that a lot of teachers voted for Cheetolini.
that will... teach them?
What possible reason could they have for voting so directly against their own interests?
My honest guess? A misinformation campaign and a complete misunderstanding of Cheetolini’s platform which had quite a few fill in the blanks type “policies”, that made people imagine whatever they wanted into his campaign promises.
So how is Betsy DeVos gonna siphon money for public schools to provide schools?

"We don't need no education" -- Pink Floyd, The Wall, 1979 & Donald Trump, Crazy Actionism, 2025
Come on, other branches of government do your job. Even if you agree with the executive branch doesn't have this power.
Is this better or worse then him packing the Department of Education with ideologues?
