Summary

Dismantling the Department of Education:
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the federal Department of Education.
- The initiative aims to return education control to families and states, rather than federal bureaucracies.
- The order directs the Secretary of Education to facilitate the closure of the department while ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of services and programs.
- The order also prohibits the advancement of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) or gender ideology in programs receiving remaining funds.
Criticism of Federal Education Spending:
- We highlight the inefficiency of the Department of Education since its creation in 1979.
- Despite significant spending, student achievements have not improved, with standardized test scores showing declines in mathematics and reading.
- Criticizing the bureaucracy and paperwork burden imposed on schools by the federal government.
Attacks on Tesla and Elon Musk:
- There is a reported wave of violence and vandalism targeting Tesla properties and vehicles.
- The attacks are allegedly organized by left-wing activists in response to Elon Musk's actions and statements.
- Prominent figures like John Cusack have publicly criticized Musk, accusing him of various wrongdoings and inciting violence against Tesla.
Swatting Incidents Targeting Conservatives:
- A series of swatting incidents have targeted conservative commentators and journalists.
- Swatting involves making false emergency calls to provoke a police response at the victim's location.
- We describe these incidents as domestic terrorism and attempted murder, with federal authorities promising to investigate and prosecute the offenders.
