It's refreshing to see there are some non-sycophants still functioning in America.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

6% of their funding is federal. That's a lot, but not something they can't adapt to. Plus, they can blame any broken air conditioners and flickering lights on the increasingly unpopular president.
Critics say this order contradicts Trumps promise to return control to states.
Oh? THAT is all that “critics” have to say? Nothing about the blatant racism and cruelty? Of using our children as political fodder? Of overstepping his authority?
Just “muh states rights”?
Those complaints are all “woke.” That one might get through to some idiots.
New York has known longer than the naive rural red hats that the Donvict is scum. Good for them for standing up for what's good and right for educating young New Yorkers for the future of a stronger New York.
Fucking fnally. Somebody said NO.
What are they going to do, sic the dismantled Department of Education on them?
Also, funny how "empowering states" only works one way
New York schools are pushing back against the Trump admin’s DEI directive, signaling a clash over educational priorities.
