Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:
My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,
"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

1) Per a friend that works in NY state government, NY cities are required to hold funds in commercial banks. So this was a private bank account, not one controlled by Treasury.
2) Per NYDN the inbound wire was dated Feb 4; wires are one-way, they can't just be undone a week later.

“The job of law enforcement has never been harder.”
As fans pour into New Orleans for the Super Bowl, city officials have tried to find workarounds to a state law that lets adults carry a gun without a permit or training. The law means police can’t check to see if people are legally armed.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.
