Summary

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Returning Education to Our States Act, aiming to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a long-time Republican goal aligned with Trump’s agenda.

The bill proposes redistributing the department’s $200 billion budget and responsibilities to other federal agencies and states, such as shifting federal student loans to the Treasury.

Critics warn this could undermine protections for students with disabilities and marginalized groups.

While the bill faces significant political hurdles, it reflects broader GOP efforts to reduce federal influence over education policy.

      Republicans are, in fact, fucking you. Because all you do is complain online like all the other democrats.

      We lost to an orange rapist criminal because losers like you don’t protest with guns, and just finger waggle until the cops break it up.

      Grow some balls like the Black Panther party and buy a fucking gun and protest peacefully or continue arguing from your basement while Republicans gut our programs that help the disenfranchised without consequences.

          How is it edgy to want to fight to continue to exist? You want people to roll over and die? To just let bad shit continue to happen to them?

          Go fuck yourself with this pacifist attitude, it’s done nothing to progress anyone, in fact led democrats to lose to facism.

            Go fuck yourself with this pacifist attitude

            there you go again, assuming you know anything about who i am, who i support, and what actions i’ve taken/not taken.

            my critique of your attitude is that you blame others in a “matter of fact” way without knowing anything about them. childish, immature, and edgy are appropriate descriptions for your reactions. i’m no longer responding after this as clearly you are quick to anger and anger doesn’t lead to rational thought. if you’re not already seeing a therapist, i strongly suggest it. lashing out and projecting doesn’t hurt anyone but yourself.

        Exactly. I’ve been saying for years that no Republican should be allowed into office, and I stand by that.

          Absolutely no politician deserves a seat at the very table they are trying to destroy.

          No Republican (with the exception of two – Romney and Cheney) has condemned J6 and until they do, they absolutely should not get to sit in office.

          Yet…here we are.

            By this, I mean the voters deciding, not necessarily legal measures. Although, as you point out, there are definitely times where legal measures should be getting used, such as J6 and the parallel coup attempt.
