I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

This is the big issue with what they are doing. There is definitely waste and bs in the DOE, but they also oversee critical supports for the most vulnerable students. Like everything else with this administration, the cruelty is the point.
