Today, I’m launching Save Our Schools – a campaign to bring people together and push back against Donald Trump's attacks on public education.

This should not fly under the radar. They are NOT talking about illegal aliens. They are attempting to attack those who are born here to non-US citizens. Don’t think they would hesitate to come after past generations of Americans born to illegal aliens.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
