White House preparing executive order to abolish the Education Department
www.nbcnews.com
President Donald Trump promised for years to abolish the department — which he can't do without congressional approval.

Summary

The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump’s long-standing pledge.

However, Congress must approve the agency’s abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.

GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.

Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.

    Legitimately considering calling my HR and changing my tax status so I don’t pay any tax on my paychecks. I won’t be filing. Why in the actual fuck would I continue to pay taxes. I cant even tell what it would go towards at this point. Can someone honestly tell me? Where are the taxes taken off my next paycheck going to go? I could just buy a blue checkmark if I wanted to enrich elon directly.

    Literally DONT pay taxes.

      Unless they do away with the IRS altogether, they’ll still use it as a cudgel against the poors, and political foes. I would not count on there being no enforcement there.
