We live in such a miraculous world, surrounded by moving pictures and many of us are lucky enough to be amongst opulence the likes of which the world has never before known. I am astounded by this and saddened to so often see the lack of recognition that others have dignity and are humans.

On efficiency; I don't want a perfectly efficient gov. A perfectly efficient government is modeled in the worst driver's license offices. Workers are constantly busy & little worker time is wasted. I want a gov that helps every citizen even if that means they over hire and have downtime/take breaks.

I am confused about the apology. It seems like there's an edit in every version I've seen, but there is an equivocation between Christ and the Tooth Fairy which strikes me as horribly gauche.

The Secret Plan To Kill Free Tax Filing Republicans' tax-cut bill could eliminate the government's popular free tax-filing system and pay off the president’s tax-prep industry donors.

🚨NEWS: Republicans put a line in their budget bill that ends the wildly popular program letting Americans file their taxes for free. The bill then launches an initiative to enrich private tax prep corporations that just delivered campaign cash to the GOP.

Friends, the Senate resolution to roll back all of Trump's tariff will be voted on tonight around 530pm.

If you have the time please call your Senators and urge them to vote for it. Particularly those of you with Republican Senators; especially Collins, McConnell and Murkowski.

After President Trump's inauguration last month, he has steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep these education promises: combatting critical race theory, DEl, gender ideology extremism, and discrimination in admissions. President Trump has also been focused on eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and harmful programs in the federal government. To that end, today he signed [Executive Order XYZ, entitled "Eliminating the Department of Education,] which has given us a clear and final mission. We are to identify which of the Department's functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them. This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more —and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption. The President further tasked us with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign functions of the Department of Education that would be more effectively managed by other agencies. This plan will offer Congress a road map toward fulfilling the expectations of the President and the American people. The new vision—which I hope each of you will embrace going forward—can be expressed as four main convictions: Parents are the primary decision makers in their children's education. Students deserve to be protected from physical violence, racial discrimination, medical tyranny, and gender extremism ideology on campus. Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs. Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning: proficiency in math, reading, and core subjects, and patriotism in American history and civics. As we move to reduce the Department's middleman role in education, these four convictions must guide us toward conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make th

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.
