The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

@kissmyflapjack.bsky.social seems to enjoy footage of old shopping malls. Thought of you.
For the retro mall footage appreciators... Here's a look back at me working at the Apple Store at Woodfield Mall during Christmas season 2004 along with a look at the classic Chicago skyline holiday display.

I have this idea Trump got much of it from his father, who witnessed the triumph of (Republican) immigration restriction in 1924 when he may have been in the Second Klan himself, and the struggle over financing government with tariffs (1920s Republicans) vs. income tax (Democrats).

Here one of Elon Musk's lickspittles explains their plan: Persuade regular Americans to accept huge cuts to Social Security and Medicare so that billionaires can get gigantic tax cuts. I don't think they'll be able to pull it off, but we'll see.
