How shameful. Trump is firing these people for NO good reason and leaving students with disabilities and their families with even fewer resources.
This is cruel and stupid.
Kids with disabilities deserve a great education, just like anyone else.

It's a good thing the hostages have been released, and I am hopeful that there can be lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
There is significant work that needs to be done to rebuild Gaza in particular AND ensure a true two-state solution—that work is crucial.
A lot of mealy-mouthed lies here. Republicans wanted to repeal the ACA with no replacement—they failed. This summer, they cut $1 trillion from health care, gutting Medicaid & sabotaging the ACA.
They have no health care plan and they want to let your premiums more than double.
Sea-Tac Airport won't air Kristi Noem's miserable propaganda, and that's a good thing.
Donald Trump is not a king, and dog killer Kristi Noem can't just force our airports to break the law on her behalf.
We don’t need a Congress that only listens to the wealthy – we need a Congress that actually listens to real people.
Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from exploding is putting real people in an impossible situation.
Why doesn't Donald Trump remember that he was President on January 6th, 2021?
There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection.
No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.
JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.
Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.
Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.
I spoke with Susan from Idaho, whose health care premiums could go up 900% if Republicans refuse to work with us to fix this crisis.
Republicans need to come to the table to work with us to extend these tax credits and save health care for millions of Americans like Susan.
A lot of Republican Members of Congress are in a total bubble.
Right-wing media can paint a rosy picture of our economy, sure.
But reality is gonna come crashing down on Republicans when their constituents see their premiums more than double, or even quadruple.
Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are NOT because of the shutdown.
Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic.
Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.
Over coffee, I updated @repemilyrandall.bsky.social on what is happening in the Senate right now: Republican leaders STILL would rather shut down the government than even talk to Democrats about how to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
A Qatari military facility on American soil? A $20 billion bailout for Argentina? Not very America First of President Trump.
Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything.
This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business.
Republicans could end these tariffs today.
Bob is a retired educator in Idaho and his wife spent decades working in health care.
If Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to protect the health care tax credits, his premiums will increase from $51 to $2,250 a MONTH.
Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.
100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.
SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.
I've never seen a time when our country has been facing a true crisis, and the president & GOP leaders won't even TALK to Democrats about a solution.
Democrats are ready to work on a solution to reopen the gov & stop health care costs from skyrocketing. Where are Republicans?
Once again: if President Trump & Russ Vought decide to do more mass firings, they are CHOOSING to inflict more pain on people. “Reductions in force” are not a new power these bozos get in a shutdown.
We can’t be intimidated by these crooks.
Know who else is not in a good mood, Mike? Americans who are seeing their health insurance premiums DOUBLE because YOU refuse to act.
I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later."
Later is TOO LATE.
If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.
