At Da Wire, Trump Reveals Which Agencies Will Take Over Ed Dept Duties "The SBA, headed by Administrator Kelly Loeffler, will now be in charge of all federal student loans while the HHS, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will oversee special needs and nutrition programs, Trump told reporters." Also at Da Wire, Matt Walsh explains All The Reasons Why Abolishing The DOE Is A Great Move By Trump, but remember, "Congress will ultimately have to take the final step of eradicating the department." Which is why it probably won't happen, unless Republicans make the remainder into a dept designed to specifically act against Democrate goals, like promoting home and charter schooling.
At Insty, THIS WILL BE AN EARLY TEST FOR RFK, JR.: Nick Sortor @nicksortor, " Large Soda Companies are paying “influencers” upwards of $1,000 PER POST to lobby against the SNAP (food stamp) soda ban Why? Because Coca-Cola and PepsiCo pull in over $5 BILLION each year off taxpayer-funded food stamps. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Big Soda is paying for these posts."

Protect our Incredible Police, Secure our Beloved Constitution, Safeguard our Inalienable Rights, and PRESERVE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." That's how Trump put it on Truth Social, quoted in "Trump Jumps Into a Major Wisconsin Court Race With an Endorsement/The president threw his support to Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate in a race for control of the battleground state’s top court. Elon Musk has spent millions of dollars on the contest" (NYT)."
DNYUZ, Musk threatens to sue after Democrat ex-Rep Jamaal Bowman calls him a ‘Nazi’ and ‘thief’ during TV appearance. Collin Rugg@CollinRugg, "JUST IN: Elon Musk announces he is launching a lawsuit after former Rep. Jamaal Bowman called him a “thief” and a “Nazi” on live television. The comment from Bowman came last night on CNN. “I've had enough. Lawsuit inbound,” Musk said in response to the video clip below." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair hears Elon to 'Fire Pull' Bowman: Get Ready for a 4-Alarm Lawsuit.
"Is stupidity a defense against defamation? Perhaps, and although [Jamaal] Bowman is a former public-school principal, his attorneys can point to a number of Bowman’s statement and actions to depict him as a pure-D moron, including and especially the fire-pull incident. A better defense, especially in light of Musk’s clear status as a ‘public person’ under the Sullivan standard, is that “Nazi” is a hyperbolic statement of disapproval that was not meant to be taken literally. Unfortunately, both defenses would tend to get defeated by a statement Bowman made at the time of the fire-pull incident. At the time, Bowman attempted to get his fellow Democrats to adopt a set of talking points to defend him for faking a fire alarm, with Politico reporting at the time that one suggested response would be to call Republicans Nazis: One suggested response from Bowman’s office to questions about the incident: “I believe Congressman Bowman when he says this was an accident. Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else.” Bowman then claimed that his staffers had created the bullet points and hadn’t asked him for approval before sending it out. He then released a statement explaining why it was inappropriate:"
Congressman Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman, "I just became aware that in our messaging guidance, there was inappropriate use of the term Nazi without my consent. I condemn the use of the term Nazi out of its precise definition. It is important to specify the term Nazi to refer to members of the Nazi party & neo-Nazis. "Anyway, Musk will still have a tough time getting around Sullivan and the court’s normal tolerance of hyperbole in political criticism. Normally, one might wonder whether a plaintiff in this situation would want to waste the resources on such a fight, but Musk has an awful lot of resources." Defamation suits take a lot of time and money. Elon has plenty of both. Pick a favorable jurisdiction and judge, and go for it.

But they can't help appeasing their loud activist base.🚨VDH calls out where the left's escalating attacks on Tesla are ultimately aimed: “A direct attack on Elon Musk himself."
