As we all know, the present administration is looking to deconstruct the Department of Education, which we personally believe shapes our kids' futures. How can any of us, as Americans, stomach the concept of getting rid of the Department of Education? We are the most enviable country in the world, primarily due to our formidable education system. Countries spend millions to send their children from around the world to attend MIT and Harvard, and I know this well since I personally went to college in Boston. The current "falsehoods" is that they study here and return back to their home countries, "stealing" our intellectual property.
The reality is 87% remain in the United States to work in our most sacred institutes: the CDC to combat infectious diseases, the NIH that does immeasurable research in everything from finding a cure to childhood cancer to searching for a cure for Alzheimer's, which, unfortunately, a lot of us have parents entering that age zone, and it is imperative for their health and the wellness to keep the bind together for all American families. It is the pinnacle of our country, and we cannot allow impulsive whims without research or reason to take away what is so unique to the American way of life that most other countries are envious of us. Our intelligence and expertise are our true world power.
Also, the other pillar of our democracy is our nurses and healthcare workers. It is a part of not only the core and lifeline of our country; it's also a huge part of our identity. We cannot gut our healthcare industry to a bare minimum, especially in rural areas, where a lot of our respected and proud veterans live, as well as our senior citizens.
We all have a great amount of respect for the military as well as our teachers. We recognize that the men and women whom we entrust to teach our children will influence our children's future simply out of their sheer dedication and devotion, and should be recognized and rewarded in kind. Unfortunately, this altruistic commitment is sorely underpaid and under recognized.

Let's all take a moment as proud Americans to recognize TodaysTrueHeroes.

And no, we cannot sit back and be complacent to the very swift and obvious assault and destruction of our institution that we hold in such regard. No more complacency. We are the United States of America, where we define democracy, so thwarting the underprivileged and pumping up the extreme wealthy, we are nothing better than countries we are enemies with. Let's throw out all labels: Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, and try to get back to being proud to call ourselves Americans. Our democracy is being dismantled and destroyed right in front of our eyes, and where did checks and balances go, which is what the Constitution is based on? It has cut our health care staff to a bare minimum, especially in rural areas, that our senior citizens and our beloved, in my family's mind, veterans. I have no one in my family who has served, but we all have a great amount of respect for the military, as well as our teachers. We recognize that the women and men who teach our children and entrust the people who will influence our children's future are simply out of their sheer dedication and devotion.
Closing the government was not solely the doing of Trump and the Republicans in Congress. After nearly a year of lying prostrate and appearing pathetically ineffective in responding to Trump and his agenda, the Democrats finally got off the mat to fight back. Of all the issues with Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” – which contained huge tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, huge spending cuts for Medicaid, huge increases in spending to control immigration, more funding for fossil fuels, and an increase in the debt ceiling – Democrats seized on one glaring omission from the legislation. At the end of this year, subsidies are due to expire that more than 42 million Americans rely on to purchase health insurance under The Affordable Care Act. As a result, millions are projected to lose their health care coverage.
