I ran some numbers last year on voter fraud using the Heritage Foundation's claim of 1,500 cases of voter fraud. Their database needed cases dating back to 1948 to get to 1,500 and they note 41 *attempts" by non-citizens to vote in 40 years, or 1/year. Lightning strikes kill 20/year in America.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.
Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

Important post underscoring the significance of Trump's attack on the Perkins Coie law firm. It's not about a single firm, Trump's action provides "a blueprint for using government power to silence any effective opposition to authoritarianism."

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?
