This is a pretty obtuse take on the Department of Education. When “massive cuts” equaling close to half of those who manage student loans within the department is less than 5000 people, you’re already looking at a starved and underfunded program. The DoE has been the punching bag of anti-intellectualism for decades. Of course there are much needed improvements to make for better efficacy. However, dismantling and fracturing it entirely, forcing state-run public education administrations to scramble around to various departments to secure funding, recategorizing professional degrees to invalidate loan programs, wiping other programs out entirely that fight food insecurity…the list can go on… These are not improvements to the current state of education.

This is intentionally removing one of the most important resources for social and financial mobility by fragmenting the foundation of education. We should be embarrassed.

Anonymous means that they don’t release their name to the public, not that they don’t know who it came from.

It’s upsetting every time I hear about another innocent person becoming a victim to this disgusting administration. I feel for the employees. I also hope he goes out of business. F* that guy

That’s how it played out in the US. More than 10 million less voters in '24 than '20. Political fatigue is insidious

Beefing up the gestapo under the guise of immigration enforcement. Meanwhile the shelves are starting to dwindle down and things might start to get a bit restless. The “homegrowns” are next…

I’m sure this announcement will have them on their heels! After 60 days of destroying the administrative state, they’ll just have to acknowledge it was all a good thing and no big deal since he’s “stepping down” right? Right?

Take your ba somewhere else. Worker protections have been proven necessary over and over again. This is a devolution of progressive society. Saying that these policies are already active elsewhere shouldn’t be an endorsement of their success rather than an indictment on Georgia still meeting to get their shit together. If a family finds it necessary for their 14 year old to work overnights to survive that’s not exactly a point of pride for country
