🇺🇸 Donald Trump a signé un décret visant à "éliminer" le ministère de l'Education, un projet applaudi par la droite américaine qui a fait des écoles un terrain de lutte contre les idées progressistes. "Nous allons le fermer et le fermer le plus rapidement possible", a déclaré le président américain.

I am sad to share that all Retirement & Disability Research centers have been ordered to stop work. My fellowship will no longer exist, and the work of so many talented researchers and dedicated staff will be cut short.
