This will have devastating consequences. Nearly a million K-12 students in Minnesota rely on funding from the Department of Education.

Students in rural communities, low-income families, and those who need special education services will be hit the hardest.

Good news: after we raised the alarm, DOGE has been blocked from accessing sensitive Department of Education data.

Your Social Security number, income data, and personal information are safe for now.

We will keep fighting back.
If you're one of the 40 million people with student loans, Elon Musk’s team may have gotten access to your Social Security number, income data, and personal information.

I'm leading 18 senators in an investigation into DOGE’s actions at the Department of Education.

It’s not about the money. It never has been. It’s about power. Dismantling education = breeding ignorance = a populace who is too uneducated to question what they’re doing = oligarchy and dictatorship.

If you’re in NJ (or even if you’re not!), you can email @corybook.bsky.social to ensure he votes to protect New Jersians from the dangerous policies of RFK Jr.

And make sure you request a response.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Nonprofit groups filed three lawsuits against the Trump administration on Monday, arguing that his so-called Department of Government Efficiency was violating laws that require federal advisory committees to be open to the public and to include a diversity of viewpoints.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

There has been a LOT of false information circulating about this new legislation.

Spoiler alert: if Elon Musk agrees with you, you might want to rethink your position.

Teachers in NJ hired after spring 2011 essentially can’t retire, thanks to the tiered NJ pension system.

This will eliminate the divide, and will help to bring educators back to teaching. If you value education, value teachers.

He only made it to appease the voters of Buncombe County.

‘Buncombe’ and ‘bunkum’ quickly caught on as a name for empty political nonsense.

It was soon broadened to include any kind of empty or insincere talk or action. In time it was shortened to the more emphatic ‘bunk.’
