The Trump administration is finalizing plans to dismantle the Education Department through an executive order that would build on his campaign promise to hammer the longtime conservative target. The order was expected to lay out a two-part strategy for shuttering the agency.

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.
Treasury stays silent.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.
The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

To console myself as I wait for the EO that will cancel the Dept of Ed, I'm going to post quotes pointing out the value of education, especially for democracy. I think this is a good one to lead with:
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use the change the world.
