I super-hate that we have to depend on flip-flopping, wishy-washy Collins and Murkowski for anything.

we don't. even with those two they don't have 60 votes in the Senate. Sure, they can get away with somethings through reconciliation, etc but they can't pass any major legislation w/o 60 votes in the Senate.

I would like to offer the services of my self and my other Professor colleagues to oversee the department of Ed. We will work for 7 million a day; 1 million less than Elon, and we will bring our own laptops.

he can try like hell to abolish Ed but it was established by an Act of Congress. And at this point, the senate lacks the 60 votes it would need to abolish the department It will create a bunch of interim chaos and dysfunction but maybe that's needed to wake people TF up!

They aren't just buying art, yatchs, and homes. They are buying the press, the politicians, and the loyalists. They are buying our homes, our food, our water, to rent back to us. This is more than just petty greed

Collins and Murkowski are correct that only Congress can abolish DoE. Both, after much hand wringing, will willingly vote in favor of abolishing DoE if the matter ever comes before them. Not even wasting my energy on these two Trump enablers
