Donald Trump’s war on education is in full swing, and young voters are making their voices heard—almost 70% disapprove of Trump, according to new polling. Maybe that’s because he’s actively working to steal their futures—gutting funding, killing opportunities, and now trying to abolish the Department of Education entirely.
I spoke with Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, and she made it clear: This isn’t just about budget cuts. It’s about deliberate destruction—ripping apart the very programs that help working-class families, students with disabilities, rural communities, and first-generation college students.
Trump isn’t even hiding it. Here he is, from the Oval Office, saying his Education Secretary should “put herself out of a job.” His administration is actively working to eliminate the Department of Education, a move that would strip billions in funding from public schools, kill school lunch programs, and make college even more inaccessible for low-income students.
And let’s be real: Trump has no clue what the Department of Education even does. As Weingarten pointed out, states already run schools—the federal government’s role is to fill the gaps and ensure kids aren’t left behind. Programs like:
✅ Title I – Funding for low-income schools
✅ IDEA – Support for students with disabilities
✅ Career & Tech Ed – Pathways to trade and vocational jobs
✅ Pell Grants & Student Aid – Assistance for first-generation college students
This isn’t about “small government.” It’s about making life harder for working-class Americans. And Trump’s allies are proudly admitting it. MAGA Senator John Kennedy literally told Americans, “Get used to it.” They want to take away your kid’s education, your public school funding, your protections—and they don’t care.
In Kentucky, a Trump voter—an educator—was shocked to learn that cutting federal education funding meant her job was on the line.
“I didn’t vote for that.”
But here’s the reality: Every single one of the 15 states that most rely on federal school funding voted for Trump. Red states depend on these programs the most, and yet Trump’s policies are designed to punish his own voters.
It’s not just Trump. Elon Musk is deep in this scheme, too—wielding his unchecked power to cut government programs while handing private data to his handpicked cronies at Doge. Weingarten’s team had to file a lawsuit to stop Musk’s Doge operation from illegally accessing students’ financial aid, Social Security numbers, and tax information.
If Trump gets his way, the Department of Education won’t just be abolished—it will be privatized. That means less accountability, more corporate greed, and students treated like commodities instead of future leaders.
Weingarten’s message was clear: We’re fighting this in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets. Lawsuits are being filed. School boards are being pressured. Voters are waking up.
This isn’t just about stopping Trump. It’s about proving that education is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy.
The fight is now. Call your school board. Show up to meetings. Demand answers. Ask how much funding your school stands to lose. Because when MAGA politicians cut education, it’s your kids, your community, and your future on the line.

Ignorant people are easy to fool, lie to, and manipulate. It doesn’t serve the Republican’s interest to have well educated people who check facts and think for themselves.
It’s in our country’s best interest to stop them, defeat them, and indict them.
Too bad it was the young, Gen Z, who voted unexpectedly for Trump. I had high hopes for them before that.
You seem to have misheard ... 70% disapproval rating among young voters.
If that was actually true in November of last year, Harris would have won.
Logic failure. Many didn't vote or voted for Jill Stein.
I assume that is NOW. What I read is they went firmly for Trump in November, as Susan said. It was part of the “bro culture” movement. They’re young; maybe they have learned, but I’m not sure they will have a chance to course-correct.
67% of Gen Z males who voted voted for Trump, same as millennials. Females were a different story ... far more millennial females voted for Trump. None of this was unexpected to me.
"not sure they will have a chance to course-correct."
Oh, there's no correcting -- the fascists won, and they don't let go.
Thanks for the data. I knew that it was largely male driven phenomenon. I agree with your assessment about fascists won’t let go. I have no expectations of authentic elections going forward. They know they would lose, and they’re holding all the controls.
BINGO
Perfectly stated.
Trump told them he was going to abolish the Dept of Ed. He’s not doing anything he didn’t tell them he would do! He didn’t hide it & u still voted for him. U just thought..he’ll do it to other people..he won’t do it to me!
Well, that's what comes when you don't have a decent education - and never learn how to apply critical thinking skills!
I think those young people let their emotions guide them to vote as they did. They were passionate about what was happening to the Palestinian people. Much like what happened back in the 60’s with the Vietnam war. They truly voted to punish not factoring in how dangerous the orange idiot was bc they didn’t really pay attention to who Trump was. Well..they..are finding out!
I was shocked to find out the amount of young people that voted for tRump. My daughter is 22 now, and with some of her friends it’s their first time voting. Her boyfriend’s Latino and his family came here from Mexico. One reason he gave was the deportation of “illegals” that didn’t come over legally like his family did. I asked my daughter if he realizes that tRump hates him, too. It doesn’t matter his immigration status; he’s not white. Also, the younger generations don’t remember the Cold War or tRump’s liking for Putin.
Yes, you are so right. It is the color of their skin, and not the content of their character.
Not just the young people. The Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan voted against their own interests. How in the world did they forget his first action in 2017 was the Muslim Ban.
because they're are ignorant just like their orange buffoon!!!!!
A large number of those in Dearborn and Michigan did what y'all could have done and saved us: voted for the Green Party, not trump. Sadly even the educated still think we should have a 2party system. How is that working for you? Neither party cares about you really. They both cater and cower to their donors, corporations and AIPAC. Green Party doesn't have PAC's or corporate donors and limit individual contributions...as they all should. We don't have a democracy. We have to step outside our blind obedience to just two parties. And that's why the Dems especially do all they can to make it hard to vote 3rd party. Also Dems promise a lot and don't deliver, just point fingers at the other party. Repubs tell you exactly what they'll do and people still vote for them. Wake up folks!
Except the Dems do deliver. Not everything, but many things. Repubs don't know how and don't really care if they do or not. Greens are small and don't have a face to their party. Jill Stein isn't impressive.
Jill Stein serves as a spoiler for the Rep party!
You are right, Barb, they did deliver big---on funding a genocide and supporting a war criminal in our Congress. My apologies.
Putin-funded disrupter blocked.
One must be profoundly stupid and ignorant to think that voting for Putin's girlfriend Jill Stein would have saved us.
The Green party has no national power because it has no national political presence - no members of congress, no participation in influential caucuses, no governorships, no cabinet members - nuthin'. Voting Green (and I truly admire the Green ethos) for president is like voting for a telephone pole or streetlight - an exercise in futility. The way presidential power works in the USA is that a successful chief executive MUST have a cadre of powerful allies to actualize his or her agenda - lacking those powerful allies GUARANTEES that agenda will be stillborn. We need look no further than Jimmy Carter to prove this thesis - he was a Dem among other powerful Dems - but as an outsider, had not cultivated that needed cadre of powerful allies and was woefully ineffectual. The Greens - to ever have any handle on any real power MUST build a base at the school board, county commissioner, state rep level first - THEN they will have name recognition and a track record of benefitting the electorate directly - not just having great ideas. We must remember that the opposition to great ideas in this country is well intrenched, well practiced in toxic propaganda and EXTREMELY well-funded. To jump into the ring against them at the main-event level is to invite disaster again and again and again...
Carter had numerous accomplishments.
One of which was the establishment of the US Department of Education.
I have always been a BIG fan of Carter - but there is NO question that he was sandbagged throughout his administration owing to the aforementioned lack of a cadre of powerful allies...
Well here ya go! https://www.greenpartyus.org/greens-in-office/
And it is absolutely necessary to have someone run for President if you understand how the process is rigged against third parties.
yeah and when this 3rd party you speak of gets established the same nonsense will start and then we'll have 3 corrupt parties !!!!
As my grandmother used to say, "I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole"
It's pretty ironic that the person they voted for, if they voted at all, is now ready to relocate the Palestinians and take over Gaza. Oh, and he's still sending weapons to Netanyahu. It's sad.
Not just the young people. The Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan voted against their own interests. How in the world did they forget his first action in 2017 was the Muslim Ban.
Sadly, you are correct. Tho, I am, most impressed by an 18-yr-old younger who wors at a Wendy's where i often go for a frosty. He's really analytical and saw all of this--but he wasn't yet 18 in November 2024, so he could not vote for Harris.
This is nothing like what happened in the 60's ... we supported Bobby Kennedy and he was killed, then we begrudgedly voted for Humphrey against Nixon. That's way different from letting Trump win because one cares about Palestinians--that's appallingly stupid and ignorant.
I was referring to their passion not their reasoning!
But the difference is crucial. Again, these are not AT ALL the same. And having lived through that era *and* watched closely what happened in Dearborn as an anti-Zionist Jew myself, I also disagree about the passion ... much of the resistance to voting for Kamala was performative virtue signaling, or came from Putin-funded provocateurs. People who say "Genocide Joe" are not passionate, they are calculating assholes.
It's FAFO time.
Young people voted against Biden to get back at the & Dem for not doing enough for the Palestinians. So to get back..they vote for Trump who wants to make Gaza a place for the rich to vacation! That really worked out for the Palestinians & those young people! 🤦♀️
that's the only silver lining to this mess we find ourselves in !! they fafo'ed now they don't like it!!!!
yes they foafo sorry for the harsh lesson but unfortunately they have to live with the disaster the rest of the middle class and below middle class have to live with because of their stupidity!!!
FA and FO
Who would’ve thought that the illiterate president would be killing the Department of education?
Who's illiterate? Didn't he tell his supporters that in 1775, the Continental Army captured all the forts and air bases?
I believe Prime Minister Starmer knew he couldn’t read, and brought him the king’s letter to expose that fact. His illiteracy is to such a level that he could not determine from studying it, that the letter was an invitation to visit. He was forced to ask Starmer to tell him what it says. It was a monumental event that was simply dismissed by the legacy media. Watch it, it is obvious.
We need to get it out there. Share to X & bluesky. I haven't even heard about it.
Samantha Bee did a sketch on it several years ago, wherein they showed a video of him being asked to read a contract, and he waffled, said the print was too small and he didn’t have his glasses, and asked “you want me to read the whole thing?” It was absolutely an example of “the dog ate my homework!” Prime Minister Starmer is a class act who set up our buffoon in chief in a British protocol maneuver, that they knew would expose his illiteracy. I think they did it in honor of President Zelenskyy after the Oval Office attack on him.
where can i find that ? I need a good laugh
John I saw it recently on YouTube
He is truly illiterate. I’ve seen too many clear examples of his fidgeting like a third grader, to avoid reading something he knew he couldn’t. It is one of the most amazing facts of the modern world.
He never actually was educated. Papa Fred bought litl Trumpie thru miltary school and both Forham and UPenn.
😂😂
This is Trump’s revenge for his scam university was exposed as failure
His so-called Uni never would have rec'd DOE funds.
Remember, tRump did say he loves the poorly educated. Those are the ones that vote for him!
“NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE EDUCATION YOU NEED TO OVERTHROW THEM.” Charles Schulz 🥲
Probably true!
Every single time I hear or read "I didn't vote for that" I am reminded of how gullible MAGA voters are. Trump literally told them to their faces and they chose purposeful blind ignorance. Yes, they did vote for everything that's happening. They just didn't think it would affect them, they thought it would only affect the "crying libs".
Well, I lay all of this crap that is happening, has happened and will happen at MAGA feet. Yes, many millions (too many) chose not to vote and this is on them too but MAGA purposely chose to and continues to choose blind ignorance because they don't have the balls necessary to step up and help correct such an egregious wrong that they are so incredible responsible for.
It's not too late to fix some of this if we actually work together. Better to do it now than to "sit back and see what happens" as I've been told by a couple of MAGA voters.
What I hear is them saying they didn't vote for that, but not being honest about what they knew damn well they were voting for & wouldn't admit, racism, misogyny, etc. They didn't think it would affect them because they consider themselves superior. And, even when they are seeing what they don't want now, I don't see them having a come to Jesus moment & starting to do the right thing. How do you go from having, basically, no ethical grounding to standing with personal accountability & the idea of all humans deserving opportunity? I've seen a lot in my time, but nothing that ever showed me how much people were lying about being a part of our liberal consensus. They've betrayal the foundation of trust that our country has been built on, that hard work & being honest pays off.
You hit the nail on the head!!!
I think some of them nay be starting to see? Think about those Republican town halls over the past weeks. Those we not Dem plants. Those were dyed-in-the-red-wool Republicans being v angry abt how cuts hurting them.
I do think it's possible some of them are starting to wake up. The sad thing is it's only because things are starting to affect them and they thought they were going to be protected. Regardless, if they are:
Maybe they'll start to reevaluate & reaearch to not make the same mistake again?
Maybe they'll listen to what's being told to them?
Maybe they'll understand that we weren't crying wolf?
Maybe they can start to positively affect other MAGA hearts, at least some of them, to understand what is happening?
It's very challenging to believe they are/have changed. The big question is (at least for me atm) is it too late even if a good amount of MAGA start to fight back?
Yet they still support him, are they mentally ill , illiterate what is it???🤦🏾♀️☹️
They are emotionally aligning with abusive people because they FEEL this is safe & will give them advantage, they are putting faith into dominance as world order & finding rationale to support that. It's an emotional, spiritual immaturity, children that never learned how to share their toys. They have to be taught they don't get their way with that.
There are many Democrats in districts won by Republicans.
Linda McMahon has NO business in education. He is a racist and wants low quality education so he puts her in the spot. WTF?
What? Having a background in wrestling promotion isn't good prep for running the DOE?
The oval office take down of Zelenski was pure WWE theater, Jon Stewart did a thing on it. I thought it was weird Netflix promoted a WWE movie right out of the gate...apparently it is part of the whole reality show government strategy. Man, it's messed up.
How can ignorant Americans "Make America Great Again"? THEY CAN'T! It's all a massive fraud. If we made community college and trade school free to high school graduates, that would go a long way to a highly functional nation. By the time a student is preparing for their junior year in college, they are pretty sure if they are or are not going to complete their 4 year degree. Even if we can't make a 4 year degree free, if the student didn't start making a financial commitment until they complete an associate degree, think of all the people who wouldn't be in educational debt today. Let's make our country more educated, instead of plopping a red hat and no opportunities to advance on their heads.
When, oh when, will our duly elected, taxpayer funded legislators get their act together and stop this insanity. I don't care if D or R: stop this wholesale destruction!!! They know better. Take frickin' charge of Congress and focus on the best interests of America NOT on tRump's fragile ego.
Yes, yes, yes🤬
I read they are scared. 😭
Since Trump is INSISTING ON DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY, WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING RID OF HIM!!!!! DUH DUH🥶
Another thing is how could anyone TRUST Trump when he cheated twice that we know of on his wife, did not PAY people who did work for him, had a phony university that people paid a lot of money to attend, convicted on 34 felony counts, many of his businesses went into bankruptcy and Cheated on his income tax!!!! How could ANYONE TRUST HIM🥶
By seeing him for what they want him to be, and refusing to find out what he really is - a venal, corrupt and deeply troubled individual who shouldn't be trusted to predict whether the sun is going to rise tomorrow.
I don't think most of the people who voted for Trump knew any of that stuff about him, except the 34 felony counts which they believed he didn't deserve.
To say nothing of his felonies.
Ret. Teacher here, I can attest! Randi’s the absolute best! She’s for kids, teachers, families, communities, states, country, and the world. And she’s fair across the board!
👊🏽👍🏽❤️‼️
OMG yes! I think of current teachers daily and what they must be going through. I love/loved teaching and miss it every day! I can only begin to imagine what it must be like right now.
Those who wish to destroy public schools have obviously never stepped foot in one and have no clue what they’re talking about. Some people hate public schools, but love their own children’s schools. Public schools have been the great equalizers when it comes to key moments in our history. That’s the trigger when narrow, hateful politics just don’t fit as they’d like. The coup mongers are taking advantage of that. May the fomenters of this mess all self-destruct before it’s too late. It’s said that “the fish rots from the top down.” Some of that seems to be happening, especially as more and more are speaking out daily.
In the mean time, we the retired can make our voices heard daily and encourage others to join us. Call legislators with every outrageous behavior made by themselves and/or the coup mongers, and/or thank them for any positive moves they make as well. Remind them of their oath of office, which requires them to support and defend the Constitution. Their military oaths as well, if applicable. Encourage them to stand up to stop the coup, and to help save our democracy…and maybe themselves and their legacies in the process! Give them something to think about. Call daily for progress reports and clarification. Get to know the office staff. Be nice, but firm. .
Recruit some friends and cohorts to join you as well! Speaking out makes a difference. And taking action feels good, too!
Hugs to all here!
Retired teacher here too. ☺️
🙏🏼 to those that are still in public education.
Trump said he was gonna get rid of the education dept. it’s like people only hear what they want to hear, don’t hear at all, or better yet don’t take the time to do the research on the candidate they are planning on voting for in the election. He never hid that away. If anyone wouldn’t think he’d cut their throats, they might want to think again.
KEEP FIGHTING.
(US STUDENTS ARE NOT WELL REGARDED IN EUROPE UNIVERSITIES AND IF THE EMPEROR OF LIES GETS AWAY WITH THIS MAD PLAN... IMAGINÉ ?????
They are trying to finish the job the Bush family started in the 80’s.
Thanks for putting a spot light on the Education Department. So many things it does for all of us.
Stealing everything!
Trump doesn't care. He is evil!
The Orange Asshole said that he "likes the uneducated." He wants a Foxwashed nation of dumb stupid cult followers to do his demonic willing!!! Wake the fc#k up people!!!
But I am scared abt the smart, but v evil, people behind the scenes. Stepohen Miller, for one. But there are hundreds of them staffing the puppet's strings until he's no longer needed.
There is something scarier that may be going on. There is speculation amoung some smart people that trump is doing what Victor Orban did to Hungary. Democracy to Dictatorship. Putin says trump is aligned with Russia. I'm 73 and I remember rumors of trump as a Russian asset a long time ago, pre-politics. They see a scenario where trump is destroying our gov and getting as much power as he can and he has sold Ukraine to Russia. Together he and Putin would be the strongest country in the world. I hope it's a conspiracy theory, but...
Y
Thank you for focusing on education. I was a principal in a title one school. Ben Franklin would be our biggest advocate if he were still alive.
Trump doesn't give a sh*t about anyone else but himself.
Opponents of Trump need to do some homework on authoritarian leaders and note what they do to erase democracy. It's happening in real time now in America. Please know that it's all been planned to attack it on so many sides that you don't know what to focus on. Don't accept the big lie. Just keep living the truth. The antidote to despair isn’t optimism but **faithfulness**—showing up, speaking plainly, and building sanctuaries of truth. Practical steps:
- **Withdraw Consent**: Refuse to participate in the lie. Fact-check, vote, support independent journalism.
- **Foster Community**: Create “pockets of resurrection” (book clubs, faith groups, mutual aid networks) where reason and empathy thrive.
- **Embrace the Long Game**: Democracy’s roots run deep. Autocrats falter; institutions, though battered, can regrow.
It’s not the opponents of Trump who need to educate themselves; we already knew what he was planning to do, and that is the reason we didn’t vote for him!! I encourage everybody to read up on how other countries have defeated their authoritarian or repressive government. There is a trove of literature out there. I restacked an excellent essay just last night on my home page.
Me too. I agree. It's terrifying and lack of awareness is awful. They're taking a wrecking ball to democracy. It's terrifying and I'm sure folk don't understand how bad this is going to get. Where are all the ex presidents at this point? Why aren't more people outraged?
Our economies are so intertwined too so if there's a recession in the US it affects us all.
Nancy I hear you, but there are so many on here who seem to be shocked at what's going on and it's straight out of the authoritarian fascist playbook. He 's delivering what he promised. Why is anyone surprised? I'm not attacking anyone here. I'm a Brit and we're just as worried for America ( and the free world)
I am scared to death. He is making enemies of all our allies, and aligning us with evil men and countries. It still boggles my mind every single day that many (most) of my neighbors and family and friends have no clue what is happening.
I'm Canadian Nancy, I can promise you majority of Canadians are not angry with the people in the US. You are our neighbors, our friends and in some cases our family. We are with you and stand with you. Together we will get through this.
Stay strong girl.
And we love and support Canada. We will win if we stick together. I buy everything from Canada now. I'm so proud of Trudeau. He stood up. We need some Republicans to stop being cowards. I am just gonna keep speaking out marching and donating!!! Think victory!
Thank you! I can make the same promise to you: The majority of Americans despise this man and all he stands for. He was illegally seated as President. We love and support our neighbors to the north!
Now from Canadian to Canadian..........Work overtime to defeat Trump North Poillievre......the little shitty scum bag that will do Oranges willing if he lies his way to be PM!!!!
Thousands of Americans are outraged and protesting daily. Unfortunately, our mainstream media is corrupt and will not cover any of those events.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for USA. 🇺🇸
Why are so many people so delusional and ignorant, all this what they were going to do Project 2025, was spoken of before the election, and they chose this over what they had.
I am a NYC public school teacher for over 24 years and a UFT member (an almost 200,000 member arm of the AFT).
Teachers vote against their own self interest because they are ill informed and not provided with proper guidance from our union. I have been hounding UFT leadership (President Michael Mulgrew and Political Director Vanecia Wilson) to develop, communicate, and implement a proactive plan of action against Trump, Musk, MAGA, and Project 2025. They are silent.
I have been organizing the non-Trump staff at my school to fight what is happening. We have taken several actions individually and as a group since the election in spite of no direction from union leadership. We have been: attending protests, showing up at Schumer’s Brooklyn apartment, at Jeffries’s Brooklyn office, Hochul’s NYC office, calling elected officials daily, writing to our elected officials, and participating in spending and company boycotts.
The last call to action that I received from the UFT political director was on 9/28/25 inviting us to view the vice presidential debate with the UFT president and have snacks. Not one call to action since.
On 2/19 I attended Randi Weingarten’s Protect Our Kids: Mobilizing for a Day of Action webinar where she and a panel of teacher union officials talked about their planned protest for March 4th.
The AFT action was vague and uninspired without a central focus. It consisted of an a la carte number of options like asking students to write letters to teachers expressing their love for them. I love getting letters like those and it is wonderful but this will not stop a coup and bring an end to this constitutional crisis. Another option was to have the staff wearing blue or red. This too will not stop the demise of the Department of Education, will not protect our climate, will not provide safe food and water, will not protect and allow scientific research and advances, will not prevent cuts to safety net social services and programs, will not end voter suppression, and will not stop the authoritarian overthrow of our country.
My question to Ms. Weingarten and Mr. Mulgrew and AFT/UFT leadership is does your inaction indicate your culpability and condoning of the Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025 agenda and policies? How does the AFT/UFT’s inaction benefit any members? The children? Our communities? Our democratic way of life?
And while many unions and organizations are using the courts to attempt to stop Trump, Doge, Musk, MAGA, and Project 2025 we have yet to see how the courts will capitulate (especially the Supreme Court) and then will Trump will respect decisions that don’t go his way? Joyce Vance sums this up perfectly in her 2/15/25 Civil Discourse Substack Post: "The Courts Aren't the Cavalry; We Are. So what are WE going to do?"
I would love to see my union amass the power of our vast membership to take needed political action!
Please have her on again and ask her about how she is organizing her members to take political actions that are powerful and salient.
Lmaoooooo! T literally said he wanted to get rid of DOE BEFORE everyone voted. That means they’re admitting they didn’t research and just followed the other white men they know. (I’m white). This shit is exhausting. I have no pity for these people. Let them fucking drown in it.
The department of education also funds education research. That they’ve been gutting since feb 10.
This is exactly as Trump planned, and made clear prior to his election. It was obscene then, it's worse now. Trump just wants to privatise. It's not a principle - he has none. It's in Project 2025 and they got him elected. They are doing the work while he signs stupid pieces of paper with a sharpie. He hardly knows what he's signing and he dosen't care.
Trump is only dangerous because he's useful and has been put in a position of power. He LOATHES educated people, especially those who have benefitted from a public education. He will be gleeful if he can remove access to public schools. He thinks it makes good TV.
Watching from Aus I'm saddened for my American friends. The world is uniting to protect Trump's victims and new allies are forming. Canada and Mexico will find new markets. The Ukraine has new allies. China is making friends. Trump is playing (cheating at) golf.
There will be a day when my morning starts with 'LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS!' Meanwhile, Thankyou Ben and the Meidas team. ❤️💙🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇦💙❤️
I think most of the super maga people can't read any higher than the 6th grade. Most in the Southern states where their education is the worst in the country. They probably don't even know what Article 25 or Article 14 section 3 means. When you say the word article to them them they think of a story in the local paper. Plus if Grandma says if they have an "R". By their name then you must vote for them. Also they had the choice of voting for an educated women of color who has great plans for America or vote for an idiot criminal and sexual abuser. So they thought about it for 2 seconds and voted for the guy with the "R," by their name. Very sad situation in our country. We must fight to get out democracy back ..
I ask myself that every day. Why would someone vote for an old, demented white man instead of a young, intelligent black woman? The only answer I can come up with is racism.
I think you are absolutely correct. It smells of racism and sadly it basically comes from the south. But it exists in every state. It is also much harder for Blacks to register to vote and the laws are designed that way. Especially in Georgia and Mississippi and Alabama. I don't know how anybody in their right mind could vote for a Felon and rapist and fraudster.
I think the major media was too quiet about all that. They say " "Oh, it's just Trump.being Trump." Now you can see Trump being Trump and remember he said "shut up about egg prices"..they were 11.50 in my market today.
He had to go one way or the other..
Donald will never learn anything
The Department of Education funds all of the education for our special educational students - the kids with the most needs !! Also funds Title 1 Reading- which help kids who are having trouble with reading!! Ridiculous - they don’t care!!
Democrats and Republicans are in a mortal fight with one another. The rest of us are caught up in the crossfire.
I see it differently. Democracy is fighting maga.we will be in putins control if maga wins. Not hard to see which side i am on.
Someone asked me about djt s approval Gallup poll, Trump's job approval rating was averaging 46%. Another one was Reuters 45%? And the last was 44% but I might have switched the polling names. Sorry. But nowhere near 50%.
Agree. And I don't trust these polls one bit. When it comes to Democrats, 86 percent disapprove of Trump's handling of foreign policy which is an increase from 74 percent in January. Independents also show increasing dissatisfaction, with 53 percent disapproving in March, rising from 41 percent in January. Are they polling THESE voters? Because if they did, Trump's approval rating overall would be much lower than 44%. I don't buy it.
Everything is upside down. I still struggle w/ how we got here. I never thought I d want our country to be failing but it's the only way these people will see how rotten he is.i still don't get how fearful republican s r of him.y? Does he have something on all of them?
I have a friend that says with absolute certainty that "YES" he has something on Republicans that they don't want to come out. I call B.S. He has nothing on them and that's not what's compelling them into this subservient stupor. Their behavior and inaction are being driven by their relentless pursuit of money & power- and they will sell themselves to the highest bidder. Phony pundits turned MAGA like Lindy Li and Tulsi Gabbard are in it to line their pockets as are celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, SnoopDogg & Mel Gibson. But I prefer those rich celebrities who didn't sell their souls like Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda, DL Hughley, and Mark Cuban.
The Republicans don't want to lose their cushy jobs. They know Musk will fund primary challengers if they go against Trump.
Somestimes I think it's the "behavior of crowds."
Randy Weingarten is awesome! I am so thrilled she is speaking out fighting for Department of Education! Thrilled to hear her podcast!
Use her job to get rid of her job, let me guess? The Apprentice? no? Art of The Deal? no? Destroy America From Within? YES...!!!!! DING DING DING DING DING.
These Trump voters don’t seem to care if he hurts others. But once he hurts them, they go, “I didn’t vote for that!” FAFO
"Send it back to the states " translation: SCHOOLS WILL BE ABLE TO DISCRIMINATE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO FEDERAL MANDATE TO AN EDUCATION.
Americans need to get rid of him before he declares martial law.
Trump is TRULY SO IGNORANT that he DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.
Trump was never educated so he doesn’t want anyone else educated!!
People who voted for him couldn’t be educated themselves!!!!!!
LADY LINDSEY YOU IMBECILE!!
WHAT A LYING DAMN A HOLE!!
Republicans only care about hurting people! Even if they are hurt too
a little too late, unfortunately. a lot of them voted for Trump
WTF
Whatever they're doing, it's to all 50 states. Pay attention America... PEACE ✌️& LOVE 💖...
Trump told people when they voted for him in 2016, and he acted on it. He was listed as one of the worst presidents, He mishandled Covid and killed a million people, he spent 147 Million playing golf and did nothing but play and enrich himself and his family. This time he told you he only cared that he got your vote he didn't care for the voters. He told you he was a snake and read the poem MANY times at his Rally. Trump read The Snake at least a dozen times, at rallies and gatherings of his supporters, from the start of his first campaign for president until Nov 1, 2020, just two days before his second presidential campaign ended. Repeating a message tends to make it more persuasive, whether it’s true or not. He is a BALD-FACED-LIAR, and you voted for him overwhelmingly. He told you he wanted to get rid of the Department of Education and you voted for him. We told you over and over again to go to You Tube Type in Project 2025 and listen and he said No, no i know nothing about it and you drank the wine and voted for him, He said he was going to defund the government and you scream HOORAY and voted for him anyway. Melania Trump said who the F**K Cares she is an extension of Trump, and you said vote for Trump. Now those of us that didn't vote for the slime ball have to deal with a decision that you created. Now you have buyer's remorse because it has an Effect on your life when you thought he meant he was going to ONLY do this to the LIBERALS! OMG How many times do we have to say WAKE UP he wanted to be a dictator like PUTIN, Kim Jon Ung, ALL Dictators they had a Beautiful Loving relationship, and you vote for him. SO SIT BACK and LOSE what you had while COMPLAINING about what DEMOCRATS had given people in the way of safety nets because of you, YOUR vote you, your friends or family will be affected, and you can cry what did i do? Sadness that you had your head up your ass thinking that you would remain unscathed while TRUMP burnt the US to the ground, I hope you all vote democrat and get a massive Majority in the Senate and the House to where we can stop him but hold on to your knockers, they next 2 years are going to be very hard for us all thanks to the Trump Cult!
" people did not vote to make their lives worst". My goodness!!! It is very very hard to educate people when they keep believing every crazy conspiracy theory the maga people float. I wonder if there is a maga dude realizing biden made our lives better.littlle by little. Now in less than 2 months he has blown it up. I wonder if they r starting to connect the dots. T---p is golfing. We r paying for that. He s done nothing to make our lives better and the affects haven't even touched us yet.t---p is unstable, vicious, vindictive. I wonder if they r seeing this now. History will not look well on Mr Kennedy- he s paid to care.
trump said he loves the non educated so he is doing everything to accomplish that so the people will be easier to control. One step closer to dictatorship.
I just saw a report that trumps approval rating is at 54% right now. Is that accurate? It*s unfathomable . Wtf?
Not a chance. Assume Trump announced that.
I can’t believe it could be even as much as 10%. Too many people are still wearing the blinders.
I think it was at 45 last poll. Been dropping steadily.
Will you please share an accurate poll rating source? Thank you!!
Gallup poll, Trump's job approval rating was averaging 46%. 2 others had 45% 44% on thur.[ Reuters and i for got other.
Thank you. I'll be using this going forward.
If its Main Stream media its a pipe dream, some ceo dreamed that up
They want to keep the federal $$ for themselves. So do states keep that money?
All funds will be going to pay for the 4trillion dollar tax cut fo the wealthy. Watch em. They will try to get more by loan and stiff the taxpayer fircing us to pay it.
Those funds are being taken from red states. Red states including mine..depend on those federal funds for schools. Because we are poor states. The sad thing..I worked with educators that voted against school vouchers but turned around & voted for a rep congress & Trump knowing they would abolish the Dept of Education and over rule the vote to not fund school vouchers. Oh well..they are gonna get what they voted for. Glad I’m retired! Let the shit show begin!
💯
That teacher should not be teaching. That's all she heard was that Trump would make America first and she did no additional research, put her head in the sand and heard nothing else. I sure wouldn't want her teaching my kids. I don't expect teachers to be so ignorant and "uneducated".
All MAGA wanted someone else to hurt. Period.
This whole " I didn't vote for this" just means they thought their vote would protect them.
What does MAGA mean when they say put America first? It obviously doesn't mean to put everyday Americans first because the Trump regime has no intention of helping us.
In our public school system, the state routinely imposes impossible demands on cash-strapped districts and turns a deaf ear when educators ask, "Where's the money going to come from to help us be compliant?" The state lottery boasts that it contributes billions to education, but this is not supplemental. This takes the place of funding ordinarily provided by the state. So the districts gain nothing. There has been a constant, unremitting effort by Re-Putin-Cans to decimate the public school system, and now they have the Thief Executive in their corner. John Kennedy needs to be tarred and feathered and told, "Get used to it."
This person gives me hope
Lots of hope
We are in this together
Glad the younger voters are waking up albeit too late
That’s why DJT said “I LOVE THE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE “ they all FAFO!! 🤬
I was waiting for him to alienate young voters! And there we go…attacking their ability to get a proper education and future career of their choice! They just attacked their base majority and opened a whole bunch of eyes!
If sense was common everyone would have it! 😁🌹
Foghorn Leghorn ignorant bastard
he can't abolish a department by EO!
"If Trump gets his way, the Department of Education won’t just be abolished—it will be privatized. That means less accountability, more corporate greed, and students treated like commodities instead of future leaders." In practice this means that everything becomes more expensive. Corporations will price these services in a manner that not only covers their expenses (on their terms), but will also build in a profit margin of whatever they want. This is hardly more efficient. What about rural communities that lack a significant number of students in any one school district and that usually vote RED. Basically, they're screwed and school vouchers do them no good because there aren't alternative schools.
I wouldn’t be so afraid if I believed it was Trump’s war, but I think this is Putin all the way
Wait till Kennedy constituents come after him hard and fast!
In Louisiana? You are dreaming. He never has town halls & has done ZERO for the state yet they elect him year after year. Foghorn Kennedy is a useless gasbag. Louisiana & Mississippi battle each other for dead last in education.
Yes, like McConnell got elected year after year.
Nice but a little late…
Changing the direction of the narrative, from the pendulum swing of left and right, to ? There are four more directions to determine movement.
Harris had a plan to help everyone. Biden should have said it would take a while for things to get better, and it was going on that way. People didn't know that, so they voted ultimately against best interest. we all suffer
I don't get it. When biden got in there we were still in a pandemic. He got us the vaccine distributed/ free covid tests. Inflation was in double digits. 2.9 when he left. EVERYONE was working. Pay rates went up.i thought his promises were enormous and he would not reach them. How could people not see all the progress he made. My stock went thru the roof. Gas was 2.59 when he went out. Obviously there was still a lot to do and some people were still struggling but jeez- how's everyone doing now????? Is beating up the trangenders that important to u when we r losing all our vital government protections? But boys r boys and girls r girls now. Very expensive trade off.
Trump is a MASTER LIAR!!! He will NEVER tell the truth. He IS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE ONLY FOR THE RICH. Therefore, HE IS NOT OUR PRESIDENT!!!
Why are we waiting until Trump DESTROYS our country BEYOND REPAIR???? He has to be IMPEACHED!!!!
How did they not know? Duh?
They don’t care about poor kids; they are elitists!!!!
Well with Congress doing a horrible job, time for us to roll out.
Do your own research. The United States does not rank 50th. Getting rid of Education only helps the dumbing down of America which this president likes. He knows he can make up stats and no one will challenge him
I graduated from a public School all the way through. And one of the things that taught me was hard to go to the most expensive university in the world’s for free.
Public education was fine until Ronald Reagan. He was the one who first started the attack against public schools, and they have continued it with this insane idea that vouchers to people who already can afford pro schools to get their kids in for nothing while your children are robbed of their educational, monies that they need to make their schools good again
Making America great again would be a nice thing from a public education standpoint because you’ve been raping public education in favor of religious schools for 45 years.
Young people should riot by the hundreds of thousands on Washington they want you to be stupid because it’s so much easier to manipulate you when you are
Taking away, your future does not say it all it’s so much worse than that
Demolish department of education
The impressive thing is that he DID say he was going to eliminate the Education Department AND MedicAid before the election. The problem is their zombie MAGA that didn't care to actually see his proposals or listen to the rest.
Think it is so wrong when someone says "happen to me". Nobody has been alone in these cuts and threats. Maybe if they voted as if there were others in their family, their community, their state, their country, their continent, their world... they wouldn't have empowered the ultra wealthy selfishness to put us in this position.
They believed what he says but he only lies …he is a performer and will say anything to get votes.
The youth vote needs to turn out for ALL elections in the future!
In 2024, only 42% of the 18-29 year olds voted vs 64% for the general population. In 2020, over 52% of the youth voters turned out and we had a much different election result.
There are two special elections in FL on April 1st (1st & 6th Congressional Districts) and a third in NY 21st. The youth and all voters have a chance to stop Trump and the GOP from controlling both houses if the Dems win these three seats.
GET OUT TO VOTE IN THESE DISTRICTS!!!
We need boots on the ground and calls going out to these states to speak with these people because the “news” isn’t framing this correctly.
Too bad. I’m sick of subsidizing the maga states anyway - they obviously aren’t learning to even read or seek outside information!
Oh he said that with RESPECT! Well, that makes it all ok then… WHO ELECTS THOSE F*CKERS???

Love it--what are your values?!! Great question to connect with others on the other aisle
President Carter signed the Dept. of Education Organization Act into LAW on 10/17/79. If the Dept. of Ed is established by law, then Congress has to pass a law to get rid of it. Trump can't just unilaterally get rid of it- at least not legally.
Trump is following the Hitler playbook and it’s disgraceful to all the Heroes of WW II who fought and died to keep our country safe…
All the kids mentioned by Randi are the kids tRump and Republican administration doesn’t care about. Also the tRump votes that are surprised that they are being impacted, are the NIMB (not in my backyard) voters.
Education is one of an individual rights ! I know dumpster and his ilk probably have the combined education of a primary but this is ridiculous ! How is anyone in the future be able to compete in today's job market ! Idiots , all of them !
They can go eat a bag of 🍆🍆🍆’s and get the Fk out of office!!! All of them. They’re hurting us for their own greedy personal gain.
Who would ever have guessed that the USA would join the ranks of EVIL regimes whose machinations run diametrically opposed to not only the political will and emotional aspirations of its own people, but to the baseline survivability of them and hundreds of millions more all around the globe? Not me. I've known for decades that the TRAITURD was a despicable human being and criminal - but I never dreamed that he would be unleashing jaw-dropping destruction on the entire planet - espousing fresh wars of imperialist expansion, gutting environmental protections, attacking God-given liberties, institutionalizing science denial, intentionally allowing those dependent on American aid to die of disease and starvation - he's heaping horror upon horror upon horror. He MUST be stoped - and his cancerous "movement" eradicated. Bottom line - whoever isn't actively working for an end to these horrors is acquiescing to EVIL - EVIL that will one day circle back around to consume us all...
Try to find the clip where Reagan is saying out loud that he wants to down grade public
education because he does not want an educated population with critical thinking skills to question government.
Voila!! Guess where we are>
Jennifer Blankenship of Bell Clounty KY is appallingly stupid and ignorant, and yet she is probably one of the smarter and better educated people in the state.
I can’t BELIEVE that the REPUBLICANS would be in favor of Trump dismissing the Department of Education!!!
Don’t they have children or grandchildren????
WHY ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF THIS PUNY LITTLE MAN?????
She isn't worth the fresh air! Another scum of the earth because she knew children were being raped and did NOTHING!
I really don't get how people keep calling tramp a "master salesman." In what world? I never, ever, thought that. He always gave me the creeps. Do I just have a superpower, or are other people that simple?
How donyou become a paid subscriber? I clicked all over the place and can’t find it. Weird.
As a union member, I'd like to be in on the lawsuits.
I am happy to see all the rallies. Keep going people. We need to keep fighting and standing up for our rights. I am fighting for my veteran husband who passed in July, my families both in Canada and the States. I am fighting for the Constitution which I swore to uphold when I became a US citizen in 2017.
No one can tell me they didn't know how much of a pig DJT is. They all knew what he is about and the lack of caring for the average Joe. I'm sorry but I'm not buying that "I didn't vote for that"... yes you did!
This is a Grift for rich people to get free education and you the people no education at all. Make people lose their education to make them no longer able to learn their rights and getting beter standing in the world. Trump needs dumb people not educated to Grift of with his grifter friends and family. The smell of grifted dollars get them off.
Look at it from GOP perspective based on these facts:
“Overall, just over half of U.S. adults, 54% or 130 million people, are deficient in in basic literacy.“
“In 2023, 28% of adults (74M) scored at or below Level 1, 29% at Level 2 (77M), and 44% at Level 3.”
Team Trump targeted them (+130M) successfully and got elected. It’s in their interest to increase the percentage. It’s a Soviet doctrine. Only educate “your” elite. USA will increasingly be dumber, more stupid and easier to handle, more gullible and more receptive to disinformation, lies and conspiracies. Perpetual GOP dominance as ultimate objective.
Do the Dems have a counter strategy. No stil complacent with their elite talking points.
Years ago I wrote a poem titled educational stockyard that sadly wrings very true to all that's happening in education today. I wish I still had a copy but it's lost in some ancient hard drive that doesn't exist anymore. It's heartbreaking to see so much of what I feared years ago coming true.
How does he get away with making such easy to check facts and use the lies to justify destruction of one more major facet of our lives? American schools are not number one but we are a far cry from being 40 out of 40 in ranking by country and we do not pay more per pupil than every other country. We are pretty much in the middle of rankings and one of the reasons our pay per pupil is higher than some countries is because we’re the only one without socialized health care and other programs that serve the needs of the students and teachers so more money has to come from our education funding. Very few people put that into the calculation when they say we pay so much per pupil.
Would you please focus on social security being dismantled and access to all personal data being given to a non government person from a remote non secure location? Please light a fire on this issue. Thank you
Hello to All. If DOGE is cutting costs, then that means All States dont need to send any more money to the Feds? Or do we here in California send less Money?
Maga’s are blind to what’s going on. They are finding out now!
We just need you guys to defend the truth!
Win the cases that are about what history can be taught!
Education might be better digitally, but for sure they shouldn't stop anyone teaching the truth.. simple!
Ben you must look into my work- since 1995 - as a teacher who’s tried to expose that fascists hijacked education decades ago and paved the way for Trump explained in my memoir, A Graver Danger, and at WhiteChalkCrime.com. That’s why we have so many who’d vote for a con artist. Both unions have gone along to get along with these fascists and contributed to the Democrat’s downfall. What Weingarten says will happen has already happened because our unions capitulated long ago and I have the receipts.
You need me on your show not Randi Weingarten. Listen to the teacher whistleblowers at WhiteChalkCrime.com one of whom told how Weingarten helped her retire rather than helped her stay in teaching when she was an award winning teacher purged from her job on false charges. They’ve done their best to dispose of quality teachers since we stand up to their wrongdoing. And the unions behaved just like the Republicans are behaving now - capitulating.
Both parties failed with education. The party that fesses up and listens to called-to-teach teachers to get education right will win over voters. It’s democracy’s foundation. They’ve hollowed it out. We need reporters to get this right.
Our unions have been to teachers what Harvey Weinstein was to actresses, forcing stupidity and acts that threaten democracy on us instead of sex. No reporter has looked into this. If you intend to change the course of history you must investigate this. I can teach you about the true deep state that enabled Trump. There’s no way we restore democracy until the truth about education is an accepted fact.

He admitted the election was rigged for him to win
Thank you, Randi Weingarten, for this passionate and sane message. This is what a life-long Democrat looks like. It's also what I look like and how I vote.
The parents of students with special needs and the educators that voted for Trump are two groups that just baffle me. Transportation to and from school, speech & physical therapy, devices to help students with physical, mental, audiovisual and learning disabilities will be affected by all the threats from Trump, Musk and their DOGE minions. And this will affect both public schools and charter schools. It'll be like putting Brown vs. the Board of Education ruling through a shredder.
You people who voted for Trump DID vote for his agenda. He told it to you repeatedly. You cannot feign ignorance without exposing your own fecklessness. YOU DID VOTE EXACTLY FOR THIS. I did not. I voted for sanity, reasonable governance, competence, knowledgeable, talented people who have been vilified for decades by your preachers as "child molesters' for some reason. Baby blood drinkers - really!!!! And you believed that .... pure excrement. Yes, you Trump voters. Know it or not, YOU DID VOTE FOR EXACTLY WHAT IS NOW HAPPENING. Admit it and never do that again. People want Democrats to grow spines and testicles. I want Trump voters to grow brains and consciences. Stop being dupes of Putin.
He probably just thinks, “I’m uneducated, can’t read, and look at me, I became the greatest asshole of a president America has ever seen!” As he, swelling with false pride, pushes out his chin toward a point, somewhere in the sky. He is such a lost soul.
lol
Watch out when Trump says he is returning education to the states. In Project 2025-speak, that means they want to stop federal funding and make the states fund it, or local districts, and we will end up with more school levies on the ballot.
That was really good, an intersection of education, labor, & politics!
Without education, what future does our country have?
Felon 47 is stupid and poorly educated. Per Mary he has dyslexia and untreated learning disabilities. His father paid $10 million to get him into Wharton, paid a student to take his SAT’s. He attacks our education dept. because he wants students to be as stupid as he is. Easier to control. Hitler did the same thing.
Yeh, isn't it interesting that the states that rely most on DOE dollars for eucaztion are ones Trump won. It truly is that they didn't get how this would hurt them.
Appreciate the chat with Randi. We however are doing ourselves a major disservice if we're not highlighting the work of Jessica Denson, Election Truth Alliance, and Greg Palast. Trump did NOT win the election and we need to be saying it louder and louder everywhere Dems have an audience. Harris ran an INCREDIBLE campaign and did enough to win. Biden was an EXCELLENT president and did enough to not be submarined by his own party. He remains the only man to defeat Trump and Trump never defeated HIM. Had we supported Biden he would've won re-election and he likely would've stepped down to allow Harris to finish out his term. If we don't understand how abandoning Biden led to all of this then everything else will be confusing as well.
With all due respect, making “America come first” INCLUDES educating everyone. 😳 Perhaps consider leaving education.
I can’t believe Trump won the election after he broadcast his plans to dismantle USA society, and the major voted fur him! MAGA is too ignorant to help themselves!
Let’s call it like it is t-Rump and cronies need a dumb and cheap source of labor and they know where to get it question is are we Americans going to let them take us back…Hope not, but then again he somehow got re elected
Hopefully a whole lot of Republican voters will have a come to Jesus moment where they realize their hero, Donald Trump is, indeed, not Jesus. Privatizing education is the worst possible outcome. The Holy Grail for private business is profit. When education is privatized a significant amount of money that used to go to providing education will go to profit instead. Duh to anyone who thinks private education is better than public education.
Hi Ben,
First I’d like to tell you how much I appreciate you & your brothers
The information y’all get out to us is invaluable
I’m new to Substack and am fumbling around a bit and hope this is an ok place to share this note
I listened to a podcast this morning & my reality shifted while listening.
Jon Stewart with Maria Ressa, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (among many other accomplishments) on the “broligarchs” and how/why we are at this point—losing our democracy.
Thank you, Rachel

My daughter is a full-time substitute, looking for a tenured position. We need well-educated persons to further the success of America. That entails a strong education in tech, math, English, and all subjects that Musk and Trump feel cannot be done by anyone without a HBN1 visa. We need to educate OUR people for OUR country and stop “Importing” qualified candidates!
I'm in St. Louis which is deeply blue and we're already feeling the attacks here. St. Louis City schools were supposed to get a bunch of new electric buses that were state of the art and they were already paid for and now they're just sitting in storage in Illinois where we can't use them because of our great stupid president.
Make America dump again 🤬They voted for the lies that he told them, but they didn’t bother reading Project 2025, so they will just have to suffer with the rest of us. We tried to warn them, but they were brainwashed by Fox News.
This is a bit off topic but I don't know how else to contact Meidas. Please look up Bernie Sanders's email post from today (Sun.) about his amazing overflow crowds in red districts, attended by tens of thousands of people, many of them young people. The pictures of these rallies are mind blowing, and very encouraging and hopeful.
Next he is headed out West.
Meidas, please do at least one segment on this and even have Bernie and pictures of these events on some of your powerful podcasts.
Thank you.
It appears to me that you forgot that part of the secret sauce of authoritarian/totalitarian takeover is control of education. Privitization would arguably accomplish this faster than anything else.
Everything trump touches dies,including education opportunities. As trump said, we love the poorly educated. trump is just trying to create more republican voters...
You ever heard anything so pathetic in your life???
Plum hollow posted under substack. A video from whstancil tic tok. Take a look.
