    Do you know how badly students are doing now under the Trump administration?? No? Well, neither do I. Trump fired everyone who knows.

    McMahon literally gave an interview within the last 48hrs and said that she is going to shut down the whole agency, she’s just waiting for Congress to rubber stamp that officially before completely closing it.

    There is absolutely no uncertainty here.

    This is basically when a company is drowning in debt, Private Equity steps in and appoints a new CEO whose job literally is to manage the liquidation… except usually the new CEO will not outright say that that is the actual plan untill a quarter before everything is totally bled dry.

    Republican playbook: Step 1- Claim it doesn’t work Step 2- Do whatever to you can to make sure it can longer function properly. Step 3- Show everyone that you were right …I’m sooooo tired of this

      You forgot step 4 - Kill any attempt to measure the impact of their actions so they can claim everything is going great and there’s no easily accessible evidence to the contrary.

      Hint this is part of step 4.

    I believe multiple judges from multiple courts both recently ruled that the OPM has no authority to fire people and that all the government employees that were fired recently have to be rehired and given back-pay. We’ll see what actually happens.

    A skeleton crew assumes the minimum number necessary in order to function. I am pretty sure that 3 doesn’t meet that requirement.
