Unfortunately most trump supporters are too stupid to be outraged at the attacks on the Dept of Education. 

Or that sycophant of state Rubio just brokered a deal that would allow US citizens to be deported to El Salvador prisons, but don't worry, only the most violent criminals. Why even make such a deal that has huge human rights violations. What's the goal? I mean, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that, but holy shit, how fucked up that this is where we're at. I'm surprised they haven't explored reopening Alcatraz.

That can’t be right. It has to be a violation of equal protection clause and cruel and unusual punishment. Where did you read this?

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio left El Salvador on Tuesday with an agreement from that country’s president to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality, including violent American criminals now imprisoned in the United States.

President Nayib Bukele “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Rubio said after meeting with Bukele at his lakeside country house outside San Salvador for several hours late Monday.

“We can send them, and he will put them in his jails,” Rubio said of migrants of all nationalities detained in the United States. “And, he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents.”

They are charging a fee of course...but cheaper than we pay now. muriKKKa!

Trump is weighing big cuts to the U.S. Education Department

President Trump has said repeatedly that he will try to close the U.S. Department of Education, seen here in Washington, D.C.

The Trump administration is exploring dramatic cuts to programs and staff at the U.S. Department of Education, including executive action shuttering department programs that are not protected by law and calling on Congress to close the department entirely.

The executive action could come as early as this week, according to multiple government sources who were not cleared to discuss the administration's plans publicly.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Education

What a Trump presidency might mean for student loan forgiveness

News of the Trump administration's plans was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

This potential executive action comes after the Trump administration, in recent days, placed dozens of Education Department staff members on paid administrative leave with little explanation, saying only that the moves were the result of President Trump's executive action targeting federal diversity programs.

Taken together, the news has unsettled department staff and is sure to come up in the Senate confirmation hearing for Trump's nominee to be education secretary, Linda McMahon. That hearing has not yet been scheduled.

The department, with roughly 4,400 employees and an annual budget of $79 billion, has broad responsibility over three major areas: managing approximately $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt, overseeing implementation and enforcement of the nation's special education law, and administering Title I, the main federal program aimed at improving outcomes for lower-income students.
