Good to read More Perfect Union rightly emphasizing that this is an illegal order; which must be disregarded by everyone.
And, yet again, USA: Require that your members of Congress act to stop this and to #ImpeachTrump .

We knew this was coming so it’s not surprising, but it’s shocking nonetheless:
Trump has signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.

@michael_w_busch You think we aren’t? They are a bunch of scaredy-cats. They are so afraid they crap themselves at the mere thought of disobeying the Fuhrer.
I assume that the Congressional GOP will act to impeach and remove Trump only if the public gives them no choice otherwise.
I do not know what that would take.
@michael_w_busch @Beachbum complete economic collapse, entirely likely because he is the stupidest man to be a US president and every mistake ever made by any countries' leaders is possible for him.
Most likely if he doesn't get his way on a budget and in order to pay for something he wants (border wall, tax cuts for billionaires) he will default on some US debt and/or order the treasury to print more money - resulting in double digit inflation.
Tech bros in crypto rejoice as the $ tanks.
@michael_w_busch @Beachbum that is literally the only way I see MAGA and the GOP turning on him, because they are neutral to positive on atrocities to the poor or brown people and decimating 200 years of improvement to justice and good governance.
A stupid man, given an unlimited supply of rope, will eventually hang himself. How many of us will he hang first is the only question.
