A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
The State Department is firing around 1,300 staffers Friday as part of the Trump administration's reorganization of the agency. The layoff notices include both civil servants and foreign service officers.

Turns out that GOP is actually OK with paying for college tuition as long as recipients are affluent and funds are funneled through school vouchers. Unbelievable.

The Library of Congress gets a copy of every book published in the United States, print or digital. It's part of how Copyright is established. It is a RESEARCH library, not one where kids go to check out books.

My hot take is that investing in early education, smaller class sizes, school meals, HVAC upgrades, CTE and college access programs, STEM and literacy mastery and the teacher pipeline is a better education plan than building a weird cult.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

Rep. @JamesTalarico asks the $500,000 question about private school vouchers:
"Do you think our taxpayers dollars should go to a family making $500,000 a year already sending their kids to private school?"

When schools wouldn’t desegregate, the Office for Civil Rights made them. When they ignored sexual harassment, OCR made them look. When they shut doors to students w/ disabilities, OCR opened them. Trump just closed OCR’s regional offices. /x apnews.com/article/educat…

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.
You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.
You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.
And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.
Say no to vouchers.

AOC: Seven federal prosecutors, the Acting U.S. Attorney, and the Assistant U.S. Attorney all gave up their entire careers rather than drop these charges because of what they saw. This is important not just for the city of New York but for the people of the U.S. These are not Democratic U.S. Attorneys; these are Republican U.S. Attorneys who have trained under Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices. Instead of carrying out the erosion at the DOJ, they would have preferred to give up their entire careers..
