This hits hard…
“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”
You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.
The department tracks student achievement, manages college financial aid and sends K-12 schools money to support students with disabilities and lower-income communities, among other things.

I just deleted my Facebook and instagram accounts. I am losing access to some great communities but at the end of the day we have to hold some principles higher than our comfort. I wish more billionaires still knew what the word principles means.
