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.

The Dispatch: Trump’s Team of Losers

The president has hired lots of people who couldn’t win their own elections.

He’s not alone. Hegseth is only one member of the second Trump administration to have been plucked from the pantheon of electoral duds and given a second lease on political life. From the Cabinet all the way to high-profile White House aides, there are failed candidates for major office who might have otherwise toiled for years in obscurity or, even worse, local politics if not for Trump’s magnanimity. Contrary to the president’s boasted affection for winners, it’s loyalty to Trump, sometimes even in the face of defeat, that remains the most valuable characteristic for a Republican looking to get ahead these days. Even the losers.

So the pathway for aspiring MAGA politicians is clear: in order to get the Trump administration imprimatur to win a future race for office, try losing one first.

Raw Story: ‘An affront to our great Indian population’: Trump rages as school ordered to swap mascots

President Donald Trump on Monday weighed in on what he called a “very important issue” creating waves in a small Long Island community after the Massapequa School Board asked the MAGA leader to help them keep their district’s Native American logo.

“I agree with the people in Massapequa, Long Island, who are fighting furiously to keep the Massapequa Chiefs logo on their Teams and School,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “Forcing them to change the name, after all of these years, is ridiculous and, in actuality, an affront to our great Indian population.”

Let the Indians speak up for themselves, if they think the Massapequa Chiefs logo is such a great honor. Apparently they don’t, nor do they need a meddlesome wannabe dictator speaking on their behalf.
