“President Trump and his Pardon Attorney Ed Martin are making a mockery out of the pardon power.”

Liz broke all of this down with @borissanchezcnn.bsky.social on @cnn.com

Feldman Strategies @feldmanstrategies.bsky.social · May 30

There are no more rules and norms that typically apply to pardons under the Trump administration.

Liz joined @msnbc.com Katy Tur Reports to shed light on this total breakdown of the normal pardon process.

Feldman Strategies @feldmanstrategies.bsky.social · May 30

Liz stopped over at @pbsnews.org to dive into the two tiers of justice under Trump: one for the wealthy and one for ordinary Americans.

Feldman Strategies @feldmanstrategies.bsky.social · May 30

Liz joined @jenpsaki.msnbc.com on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social ‬to spotlight the fundamental break we are seeing between how pardons normally work vs. what we are seeing in Trump’s DOJ.

“The American people are saying, you know what, Elon Musk? We’re not buying what you’re selling. We believe you to be a liar.”, says Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees.

Feldman Strategies @feldmanstrategies.bsky.social · Apr 10

Dr. Kristin Lyerly, a Wisconsin OB-GYN who serves as a board member for the Committee to Protect Health Care and campaigned against Schimel, “Authenticity is incredibly important to Wisconsinites, and that is what Elon Musk completely lacked: any sense of authenticity.”

The Trump admin can try as hard as they want to make an example of Liz Oyer, but she will always stand up to bullies.

“If you really want efficiency, talk to the employees that do this work everyday.”

Thank you Deadline White House and @nicollewallace.bsky.social for having AFGE President Kelley join the show to lift up the everyday workers of AFGE.

“This administration, with these RIF notices, has impacted every last office in the U.S. Department of Education, not one spared.”

We are proud to keep sounding the alarm. The Dept. of Ed is CRITICAL for our country.

Civil Rights, Research, and More: What’s Hit Hardest by Massive Ed. Dept. Cuts

An analysis of the Trump administration's cuts to the agency shows its civil rights enforcement and research arms are hit particularly hard.

Feldman Strategies @feldmanstrategies.bsky.social · Mar 21

Removing functions and the people who do those functions stops workers in the Education Department like Brittany from helping the students who need it most. Thank you to Ana Cabrera for amplifying the harmful cost of cutting the jobs of vital services and workers.

Brittany Coleman, AFGE Local 252 Chief Steward, shared with the Washington Post her concern “is that the chaos and confusion we’re experiencing is now going to carry over to our students.”

How Education Department layoffs hit student loans, testing, civil rights

The layoffs call into question how agency will be able to handle major operations such as student loans, FAFSA, the Nation’s Report Card and civil rights complaints.

ICYMI: Last week, Rachel Maddow highlighted the chaos and unprofessionalism from the Admin that Dept of Ed workers are experiencing.

“The president can’t just lay people off because he does not agree with them or he does not like the color of their skin or their gender.”

The Trump administration has: “no respect for the thousands of workers who have dedicated their careers to serve their fellow Americans.”

AFGE 252 is not done fighting, and neither are we.

Education Department Fires 1,300 Workers, Gutting Its Staff

The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.
