Education Overhaul, Trump’s Tariffs, and DOGE Exposés

The Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion slash­es near­ly half its workforce—should it be axed or reformed, do the block grants go to the states? Crit­ics slam it as lib­er­al indoc­tri­na­tion amid ris­ing bureau­cra­cy. Explore the lat­est infla­tion report, ques­tion­ing Biden-era data tweaks, and Trump’s puz­zling Cana­da 51st-state pitch fac­ing some back­lash. Unpack Trump’s tough tar­iff stance, promis­ing 20% gains. Plus, USAID doc­u­ment purges, EPA’s Lee Zeldin nix­ing $20B in Biden cli­mate grants, and DOGE uncov­er­ing $312M in mis­di­rect­ed PPP loans to kids dur­ing COVID. Get the full scoop on edu­ca­tion, econ­o­my, and gov­ern­ment shake-ups.

• The Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion cut near­ly half of its work­force. Do we get rid of it or cut it? Do block grants to the states? Have the states run the edu­ca­tion for our chil­dren? The DOE has turned into behav­ioral con­trol mod­el­ing them into the lib­er­al democ­rats they want them to be. There are lev­els in edu­ca­tion we do need, but the depart­ment of edu­ca­tion is anoth­er lev­el of bureau­cra­cy. The ques­tion will be if it is end­ing how it would be han­dled. If you want to end the depart­ment of edu­ca­tion and send a block grant to our law­mak­ers in GA to trust they will do the right thing for edu­ca­tion… nah I don’t think so. 
• Infla­tion report is due out today. We know the gov­ern­ment report­ing was altered dur­ing the Biden admin­is­tra­tion. But as the infla­tion report is com­ing out today we will have to see if the num­bers will be cor­rect­ed to adjust for the false num­bers of the Biden admin­is­tra­tion. 
• What is Trump’s motive on the Cana­da 51st State? It would be a huge mis­take to bring Cana­da in as a state with a huge lib­er­al base. 
• Trump’s Tar­iffs. Won­der who is in the Rupert Mur­doch world in the white house to share infor­ma­tion. Trump says he can do it the easy way or hard way. He is doing it the hard way and it will come back 20% bet­ter. 
• USAID employ­ees told to destroy inter­nal doc­u­ments. 
• EPA Zeldin ter­mi­nates $20B in Biden cli­mate grants under the Infla­tion Reduc­tion Act. 
• DOGE says chil­dren received $312M in loans meant for small busi­ness­es dur­ing COVID. This is the PPP loans that went through the SBA.
