Business Insider: A judge blocks Trump’s plans to abolish the Department of Education, fire workers, and transfer student loans

  • President Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to dismantle the Department of Education.
  • The department has faced opposition since its initial establishment — and prompt closure — in 1867.
  • Concerns of government overreach and unnecessary spending have fueled opponents throughout history.

President Trump signed an executive order to start eliminating the Department of Education on Thursday, though he needs congressional approval before it can actually shutter.

Meanwhile King Donald and his sycophants are not above abusing the Department of Education as a bully pulpit to harass universities to support their anti-diversity and anti-transgender agendas.

Business Insider: The same badge-scan strategy used in Tesla layoffs has hit federal workers

Employees at the Department of Health and Human Services showed up to their offices on Tuesday to learn their fate: If their badges worked, they still had a job. If they didn’t, they had to clean out their desks.

“I was crying the entire drive to work today,” an HHS employee told Business Insider as they waited in line.

The employee said they saw a man walk past, wheeling out his personal belongings on a desk chair after being terminated.

“I’ve seen three people who went in, and then came back out and left with tears in their eyes,” said the employee, who was eventually let into the building. “People behind me are sniffling.”
