The Trump Administration's efforts to dismantle the Education Department will have tragic consequences for our students, families, and communities. The Supreme Court's decision now paves the way for the Trump administration to roughly fire half of the staff at the Department.

Breaking news: A divided Supreme Court cleared the way for now for the Trump administration to sharply shrink the Education Department, one of the cornerstones of the president’s efforts to radically downsize the federal government.

Trump and republicans are gambling with people’s lives. Their ‘Big Ugly Bill’ guts Medicaid, stripping health care from millions. The human cost could be deadly.
