“Then you’ll have some laggards,” the president continued. “We can all tell you who the laggards will be, but let’s not get into that.” He went on to mention his home state of New York, which has a Democratic governor.

Florida and Texas have a long way to go.
As do CA and NY…

4 most populous states:
-CA
-TX
-FL
-NY

Those are also high black and brown populations. Also by and large the yellow lower literacy states are a lot blacker and/or browner and/or redder (except WV) than the higher literacy green states, who are a lot whiter.

Your attempt at distraction doesn't change the reality that trump is spreading FAKE NEWS about education in Florida and Texas.

You're nuts or a blind partisan if you think there aren't similar situations in Texas or Florida.

Texas scores poorly on the Nation’s Report Card; reading scores lowest in decades

Most Florida students' reading and math skills are still below grade level

Rich aren‘t getting a tax cut (rates are staying the same as 2017-2024 for everyone) except for SALT deduction increase. No tax on tips and on OT benefits mostly lower middle income to middle income.

Yet we continue to feed foreign children overseas.. Note the “local“ mentioned 2x, not foreign.

Purchases are historically low enabling further consolidation of wealth in the hands of a few.

I agree with acting locally (which is why Trumpmusk are dipshits to cut programs like this) but foreign kids are innocent and precious too.

Btw…no one mentioned feeding foreign kids here but you.

Trump says student loans, special needs programs will be moved to new departments
President Donald Trump announced Friday that two key functions of the agency he is seeking to dismantle, the Department of Education, will be moved to new departments: The Small Business Administration will take on student loans, and the Department of Health and Human Services will take on special needs and nutrition efforts.
...
"Pell Grants, Title 1, funding resources for children with disabilities and special needs will be preserved, fully preserved," Trump said Thursday before signing the bill. "They're going to be preserved in full and redistributed to various other agencies and departments that will take very good care of them."
...
The central legal issue is likely to focus on the Higher Education Act of 1965, which stipulates that the Federal Student Aid Office should be under the purview of the secretary of education.

"Congress has charged the secretary of education with administering the federal student aid program by issuing student loans and grants to support students' attainment of higher education," said Andrew Cook, press secretary for the American Federation of Teachers. "The department's office of Federal Student Aid is statutorily mandated to do so and has the unique expertise to manage the complex student aid program."
Does trump not understand the Constitution and separation of powers? If Congress said that "Federal Student Aid Office should be under the purview of the secretary of education" then trump needs an act of Congress to change that. The US federal government is not his company that he can do with as he wishes.

67% of injunctions this century have been against trump. Could that be because trump has signed more potentially unconstitutional/illegal executive orders than any other President?

If family members donating to the Democratic Party/candidates is proof that they're activists doesn't the same hold true for family members donating to the Republican Party/candidates? It looks like aileen cannon contributed to deconkis. Does that make her an activist judge who can't be trusted? What about all of those perks that alito and thomas have received? Why do MAQA yahoos make a big deal about these things when Democrats benefit but dismiss them when their candidates/causes benefit?
