Now-departed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk on Wednesday has launched an effort to block the “big, beautiful bill” over his frustrations about the level of spending cuts in the legislation.

Musk left government in May after working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in order to help balance the budget. His efforts led to DOGE claiming roughly $175 billion in savings, though the White House has only sent about $9.4 billion in cuts as part of a rescissions package. Musk, for his part, is livid with the efforts of lawmakers to reinforce his moves.

Trump Administration Cracks Down on the Taxpayer-Funded, Partisan American Bar Association

Rachel Alexander

Fed up with lawfare from the Left, the Trump administration is taking steps to limit the taxpayer-funded partisan activity of the American Bar Association (ABA). The ABA uses grants from the federal government to promote leftist causes. Although the 150,000-member organization is voluntary, it provides biased draft rules and policies for state bars, which those bars usually adopt and impose on attorneys required to be members to practice law.

In March, Reuters reported that White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields said in an email regarding the crackdown, “President Trump represents the people, not a board of snooty, leftist lawyers.”

A recent New York Times article portrayed conservative-led education reform as a political performance — more concerned with fighting “woke” ideology than improving student outcomes. The implication is familiar: that Republican efforts in education are all about culture wars, not classrooms. But this telling misses the bigger picture. Beneath the headlines, some of the most meaningful — and effective — education reforms in America today are being driven by conservative leadership. Just look at Mississippi and Louisiana.

These two deep-red states are not exactly known for boasting about education excellence. In fact, for decades, they have struggled near the bottom of the national rankings. But over the last several years, they’ve become two of the most closely watched examples of what’s possible when policymakers take education seriously — and when they are willing to challenge stale systems and tired assumptions.
