SCOTUS just gave Trump the green light to go even further in his all-out assault on public education.
Without explaining its decision, the Court ok’d Trump firing half the staff at @usedgov.bsky.social - gutting the department responsible for ensuring every kid can get a quality education.

Trump's rescissions package is another attempt to institutionalize his cruelty in the name of improving "government efficiency."
His cuts to foreign aid will result in preventable deaths, abandon allies & partners, and further unravel global health, stability, & U.S. leadership.
Trump is withholding BILLIONS in education funding, including $30 million for Hawaii. Every state is impacted.
Afterschool programs, student enrichment programs, & many others could close.
Trump must reverse course or students will pay the price.

Over the next few years, millions of people will be stripped of their health care.
Don't be fooled, this is Republicans' doing.
From higher insurance premiums, to rural hospital closures, this bill will hurt EVERYONE, not just those on Medicaid.
Whether it pays for urgent doctors visits or Grandma's nursing home, Medicaid is a lifeline for many.
Trump's Big Ugly Bill will put American lives at stake.
It's time to wake up and smell the fresh, Republican betrayal.
Republicans' tax bill will hurt millions of hardworking Americans, limiting access to health care and food, weakening public schools, raising energy costs, and more.
Disgraceful.
The fight isn't over and Democrats will fight like hell to protect our communities.
Millions of people will lose their health insurance.
Rural hospitals will close.
Families will lose access to SNAP benefits.
Electric bills and health care costs will go up.
People will lose their jobs.
This will be Republicans' legacy.
On this Independence Day, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting our democracy and hard-won freedoms.
American independence means no kings, power that belong to the people, and freedom for all.
From threatening denaturalization, to praising a detention center nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," Trump continues to dehumanize the immigrant community, stoking hate and threatening lives.
Evil and sickening.
The House just passed this disgrace of a bill.
Republicans are selling out their constituents to do Donald Trump's bidding.
Don't be fooled. This bill was passed with the wealthy in mind, and the wealthy only.
Republicans are boasting that they're keeping promises to Americans by passing this bill.
It seems they MUST have promised to rip away health care, slash jobs, eliminate energy savings, hike health care premiums, cut SNAP benefits, and weaken public schools, right?
...right?
Yet another attack on our students and the rule of law.
All the while, Republicans are also working to advance a bill that would further undermine public education.
Trump's priority is the wealthy, and millions of students will suffer because of it.
The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. https://trib.al/CIBxpaX
Republicans are trying to create a "stabilization fund" for rural hospitals to counteract the devastating cuts to Medicaid in their tax bill.
Let’s be clear, they're trying to solve a problem they’re creating.
We shouldn't even be considering Emil Bove's nomination to serve as a federal judge.
Bove oversaw prosecutors who withheld documents, advocated for disregarding court orders, and has a record of abusive management—he is unfit to serve or to supervise.
As AI usage surges & summer heat intensifies, demand for energy is going up... & so are energy bills.
Clean energy = cheap energy, but Trump’s Department of Energy budget guts clean energy investments.
When Republicans cut renewable energy projects, American families suffer.
As Republicans brag about tax cuts in their budget bill, they are hiding the big picture, that this bill would push our country further into debt.
This bill will mortgage your children's, grandchildren's, and their children's futures. All to give the wealthy even more tax breaks.
Senate Republicans released their version of the tax bill which has—you guessed it:
Even DEEPER cuts to Medicaid.
Yet again, Republicans are proving they do not care about you. This bill cannot pass.
ICE is wreaking havoc on immigrant communities, separating families and stoking fear.
Make no mistake, these ICE raids were never about the safety of our country, but furthering a cruel, racist agenda.
This is Trump's America.
Republicans' nightmare tax bill will explode our country's deficit by trillions in the next decade.
What does this mean for you?
Your home mortgage will spike anywhere between $600 and over $1000 per year.
Still believe Republicans when they say this will lower prices?
Republican Tax Bill Glossary:
"Economic growth": $2.4 trillion increase in deficit over 10 years
"Financial relief": Higher energy bills for families
"U.S. energy dominance": >800,000 jobs threatened in energy sector
Democrats see this bill for what it is.
