The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.

Missing from this idiotic rant is the fact that the states DO RUN their own public education. Ed Dept mostly tries to make sure there's no racist BS (civil rights enforcement) and funding support for disadvantaged/disables kids, and THAT'S why they want it killed.
Trump on the Department of Education: "We're gonna shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good. We want to return our students to the states."

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse.
But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

So who’s paying for Republicans’ massive billionaire and corporate tax cut? Families. Sick kids. Disabled kids. Rural hospitals. Seniors. Students. They’re all footing the bill as Medicaid will be ripped away if we don’t act.

A bunch of twenty something DOGE staffers are deciding that phone support for the Social Security Admin is unnecessary.
This will be the first step to cuts & skipped checks. If they can silence those with complaints & missing checks they can ignore them.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.
I will never bow down.

But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
