Trump Regime

Patriotwise -   The Trump administration is moving major Education Department duties out of Washington, and critics say the fight is now about power, not just paperwork. Education Department says six new agreements will break up its federal bureaucracy and return education to the states.

Reporting says the plan shifts day-to-day management of several programs to the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Interior, and State.Officials say the move will affect roughly $31 billion in spending across K-12 and postsecondary offices.[1][5]

Legal and policy groups say Congress would still need to act to eliminate the department or move core duties for good.

National Memo -   Federal workers for the U.S. Department of the Interior are being directed to wear pins promoting the president’s public-private partnership created to celebrate America’s 250th birthday — instead of the congressionally mandated group that was created to organize the events.

According to Mother Jones, National Park Service employees have been ordered to wear the pins, under threat of “professional reprimands.”

“When I asked if I would receive any disciplinary action if I chose not to wear the pin, I was told, ‘Yes,’” one person told Mother Jones. “I chose not to continue the conversation after that.”

Mother Jones reports that the “establishment of Freedom 250 has allowed Trump to more easily plan events that double as campaign rallies, to privately raise funds from corporations seeking influence with the administration, and to avoid disclosing exactly how much all this is costing US taxpayers.”
