Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

CEC’s Executive Director, Chad Rummel, appeared on NPR's 1A podcast this morning to discuss the impact of the layoffs at the Department of Education on special education. With the reduction in federal staff, our nation’s special education law is at risk.

Past CEC President and special educator Dr. Danielle Kovach recently spoke with The Hechinger Report about the sweeping staffing cuts to the OSEP and what they mean for the more than 8 million students nationwide who rely on special education services.

White and blue graphic with an image of a child in a wheelchair with a notebook in a classroom. The Hechinger Report logo appears with the text, "Parents, advocates alarmed as Trump leverages shutdown to gut special education office; “I equate it to, what would happen if we dismantled a control tower at a busy airport? It doesn’t fly the plane. It doesn’t tell people where to go. But it ensures that everyone flies smoothly.” - Danielle Kovach, NJ Special Education Teacher & past CEC President"

Typhoon Halong was an unusual storm, likely fueled by the Pacific’s near-record warm surface temperatures this fall. Its timing means recovery will be even more difficult than usual for these hard-hit communities, as Alaska meteorologist Rick Thoman of the University Alaska Fairbanks explains.
Why recovery will be tough for Alaska's villages flooded by an unusually powerful storm

7 million No Kings protesters and the only arrests today that I read about were Trumpers in Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilkes-Barre, PA who showed up flashing their guns at people. But please tell us again about how today was going to be nationwide riots caused by violent left wing Antifa terrorists. 😂😂😂

People wearing N95s!

People ensuring the routes were wheelchair accessible.

People setting up virtual events.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”
