Donald Trump is failing the test of leadership again.

Instead of proposing any plans to improve math and reading scores for students, he’s tearing down the Department of Education and making it harder for working class kids to get ahead.

The Department of Education will begin sweeping layoffs tonight with about half of its 4,400 employees expected to be let go, sources tell CNN.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately.

Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

Trump and Musk are dead set on extinguishing the flame of hope for millions of Americans suffering from deadly diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Their draconian cuts to the NIH would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars.

“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”
While the Trump Regime is targeting lawyers for conducting themselves ethically, other lawyers are seeking to profiteer by aiding in Trump's assault on the rule of law, as I discussed here.
