What Does the Department of Education Actually Do?
With the help of Congress, a president could get rid of the agency. Getting rid of the programs it runs and the money it spends would be a different matter.
Republicans have been calling for an end to the Department of Education basically since it was established, @dgraham.bsky.social wrote in February. “But most presidents, including Trump, can’t and don’t want to get rid of the things it does.”

How Putin Humiliated Trump
The real reason the president suddenly sounds tougher on Russia
“Trump did not develop a new fondness for Ukraine or its president. He did not abruptly become a believer in the traditional transatlantic alliances prized by his predecessors as a counterweight to Moscow. Rather, Trump got insulted,” @jonlemire.bsky.social reports:

Judge Halts Part of Florida Law Attacking Direct Democracy
Read more here.
WIN: A federal court blocked key parts of Florida’s new ballot law that made it harder and riskier for residents to put citizen-led initiatives on the ballot. But the rest of the law still stands. This fight shows how far lawmakers will go to silence voters.

‘With What Water?’: Texas, Mexico, and the Disappearing Rio Conchos
Drought has hollowed out Chihuahua’s Conchos Valley and bred civil unrest as South Texas demands the water it’s owed.
Excellent article about the growing conflict over #water between Mexico and Texas as droughts, #climatechange, and demands for water exceed what nature now provides, setting the stage for serious political -- and potentially violent -- conflict.

El ‘tarifazo’ de Trump contra Brasil aúpa a Lula y aísla a Bolsonaro
El presidente brasileño prioriza la vía negociadora en el enfrentamiento comercial, pero anuncia que, si la Casa Blanca consuma la amenaza, responderá con aranceles recíprocos
La amenaza de Trump de imponer un castigo inédito a Brasil —un arancel del 50%— en un intento de presionar a los magistrados que juzgan a Bolsonaro ha causado daños colaterales. La maniobra ha aislado al bolsonarismo en vez de fortalecerlo social.elpais.com/jsrul21
