I’m old enough to remember Betsy Devos “proposing” to merge the DoE & DoL in 2018. Folks thought it was a joke. 😏 This is also further proof that Tr*mp’s administration received their marching orders during his 1st term…meaning that Project ‘25 was NOT new. It was “Project 2020” aka CNP Vision 2020

One week. It would take one week to reverse this. Nurses and PAs - one sick out week. Show this regime just how valuable you are and that will reverse this destructive decision

Trump’s tax law is going to devastate Virginia — and it’s already devastating our rural clinics.
As Governor, l will stand up for Virginians’ healthcare — and work to make sure we get the dollars we deserve.

The new American healthcare “plan” is to get healthy to save money.
It leaves disabled & chronically ill people behind.
It puts the onus on people to remain healthy, whether that’s possible or not.
We don’t choose to be disabled, it just happens
Everyone deserves healthcare

Upon witnessing today’s earth-shattering moves to dismantle the Department of Education, I and multiple friends and fellow professionals in academia, at institutions across the nation, had this exact thought at the same damn time.
Shortly, Title IX won’t exist in any meaningful sense of the word.

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

I’m a Black higher ed lawyer, formerly in-house counsel at Harvard and top expert on Project 2025.
This is Project 2025 in action, dismantling the Department of Education; no Congressional approval, no public comment periods, nothing.
No coming back from this, folks. It didn’t have to be this way.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
