A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

The State Department is firing around 1,300 staffers Friday as part of the Trump administration's reorganization of the agency. The layoff notices include both civil servants and foreign service officers.

Turns out that GOP is actually OK with paying for college tuition as long as recipients are affluent and funds are funneled through school vouchers. Unbelievable.

@IWF Try to solve some real problems ladies. For example, male violence and coercion against women is way more important.

The Library of Congress gets a copy of every book published in the United States, print or digital. It's part of how Copyright is established. It is a RESEARCH library, not one where kids go to check out books.

Oklahoma’s $231 million voucher tax scheme previews how a federal version would work in Michigan and beyond.

New data: wealthiest families use the vouchers, private schools hiked tuition after the taxpayer check.

Only 9% users ever in public school.

Terminated January 6th case prosecutor: At the end of the night, 15 Assistant U.S. Attorneys had been fired.

My termination letter said it was for prosecuting January 6th cases.

“U.S. Attorneys represent the United States of America, not the President.”

My hot take is that investing in early education, smaller class sizes, school meals, HVAC upgrades, CTE and college access programs, STEM and literacy mastery and the teacher pipeline is a better education plan than building a weird cult.

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd

This isn’t about fixing bureaucracy in Washington. This is about defunding your local public school.

[Derek W. Black @DerekWBlack]

When schools wouldn’t desegregate, the Office for Civil Rights made them. When they ignored sexual harassment, OCR made them look. When they shut doors to students w/ disabilities, OCR opened them. Trump just closed OCR’s regional offices. /x https://t.co/U4hCFQ9TFC

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.

You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.

You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.

And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.

Say no to vouchers.

AOC: Seven federal prosecutors, the Acting U.S. Attorney, and the Assistant U.S. Attorney all gave up their entire careers rather than drop these charges because of what they saw. This is important not just for the city of New York but for the people of the U.S. These are not Democratic U.S. Attorneys; these are Republican U.S. Attorneys who have trained under Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices. Instead of carrying out the erosion at the DOJ, they would have preferred to give up their entire careers..

Trump declared that he has "a mandate like has not been seen in many decades."

He won the popular vote by 1.48%.

Biden won the popular vote in 2020 by 4.45%.

Obama won the popular vote in 2008 by 7.27%.

Using a child as a prop to disguise that you’ve cancelled research funding for children’s cancer is not only hypocritical it’s disgusting.

@samzeff He chose a start time of 9 a.m. in a small town three to five hours away from the major metro areas. It was a tiny room with terrible acoustics & he tried to only take written, staffer-screened questions. When the audience started asking questions he ended the event early. 🤡
