^Honestly, the order itself is stupid on the face of it, as is the ‘justification’ behind it. Trump simply cannot get rid of a Cabinet-level department by executive order. It requires Congressional approval, which he is unlikely to get.
A lot of GOP yammerheads are saying that they want to give education back to the states, which is roughly equivalent to saying you want to put the Sun back in the sky.

Just like with everything else, they say they want to give a thing back to the states until a state does something they don't like.

US deportees face brutal conditions in El Salvador mega-prison: ‘Severe overcrowding, inadequate food’
Quote: The Trump administration has flown 238 Venezuelans to an El Salvador prison that human rights groups say is designed to disappear people.
Despite a judge’s order temporarily blocking the move, the US government flew more than 200 men that it had accused of gang membership to the “Terrorism Confinement Center”, or Cecot – a draconian mega-prison that has become central to the promise of the Salvadorian president, Nayib Bukele, promise to rid his country of crime.
The prison, which can hold up to 40,000 people, has filled up since El Salvador declared a state of exception, allowing police and the military to arrest people on suspicion of gang affiliation without any evidence. Now, Venezuelan immigrants to the US, many of whom are also suspected of gang affiliation without apparent evidence, have joined Salvadorian prisoners in the Americas’ largest – and one of its cruelest – prison systems.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...r%20people.
It’s worth noting that conditions in the prison in question are legitimately horrible, often with 10-20 prisoners to a cell with zero regard for gang affiliation, and it appears that the jailers there work under the assumption that none of the inmates get out alive. It’s apparently the next best thing to just executing them.

They work them there. The us is selling people into slavery. Donald Trump is a human trafficker.

The U.S. paid 4 million for the privilege of them being slaves, so it isn't exactly "sold", but I get your point. Yes, this is deplorable, but it actually boosts his poll numbers with the Right.
Now that Trump has declared wartime powers, which is the next group to disappear?

4 million in ad buys vs 4 million in fees to dispense of excess livestock. I doubt the ad buys would be as valuable dollar to dollar. It's always a con, it's always a grift.

Trump Open To US Joining Commonwealth
Quote:Nearly 250 years after America declared independence from Great Britain, President Donald Trump suggested that he was open to taking a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy after a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

All members of the Commonwealth have to be democracies;

Governments, political parties and civil society are responsible for upholding and promoting democratic culture and practices and are accountable to the public in this regard.

We support the role of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group to address promptly and effectively all instances of serious or persistent violations of Commonwealth values without any fear or favour.
Trump would appear to stand against everything the Commonwealth stands for...

America: take Trump and his cronies, tie heavy weights to their ankles, drop them in the deepest part of the Gulf of Mexico, and we'll consider taking you back.
