#NCED The federal administration has repeatedly called for the closure of the Department of Education which could cause NC to lose $1,175,533,403 in education funding, leaving a massive gap to be filled by our state government.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

This is Trump’s plan for prisoners, and I bet that very much includes dissidents and protesters: black hole prisons in El Salvador where people won’t come back.
Trump on American citizens: "If we could these animals out of our country and put them in a different country under the supervision of somebody that made a relatively small fee to maintain these people ... we don't want these people in our country."

i think it's super cool that the government is run by the klan right now
Joe Kent, the guy Trump is nominating to lead his counterterrorism division, employed Proud Boys and Patriot Front members, met with Nick Fuentes and sat down with a neo-Nazi YouTuber for an interview.

Amid the chaos playing out at the national level, it’s comforting to know we have a person of deep integrity leading North Carolina’s k-12 schools. 🍎👏 #nced

Amazing, deeply reported story here from @wsj.com on how Thom Tillis waffled on the Hegseth nomination, went back on his word, and ultimately sold out America's military. Typical.

Also a reminder that if you are reading good coverage, share/post those links, a lot has shifted and people need to know where to find information
There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

If the the majority of the country told him to eff off and did not comply with his EOs, they would be useless. Compliance is submission.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

Want to compare the performance grades of private schools? Too bad. NC legislators don’t require them to give standardized tests or report any academic outcomes to the public.
We have no way of knowing if our billions are improving any student’s lives.
So much for fiscal responsibility. #ncpol

It’s so sad to see a former award-winning public school teacher spreading lies about vouchers and public schools to gain support for her voucher scheme.
Cotham says most families getting vouchers are poor and most public schools have D/F grades.
Both are untrue. #ncpol #nced
