— February 2025

"To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares," [Louisiana Senator John] Kennedy said during a Fox News interview. "You know, they better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow."

Team — the GOP is wreaking havoc and their response to the concerns of the American people? “Call somebody who cares.”
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy then threatened, “It’s USAID today, it’s gonna be the Department of Education tomorrow.”
It’s clear: Donald Trump and the extreme right are coming after public education.
Trump's executive orders have put funding at risk for public universities across the country, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign right here at home.
Now, they’re introducing legislation to dismantle the Department of Education. I won't stand by and let them attack our schools, students, and teachers.
Will you join me in supporting the Department of Education and our public schools by adding your name now? We need to show the strong resistance to the GOP’s reckless plans:
Thank you for your support,
Nikki
