Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic Senator known for her liberal views, is criticized for spreading lies every time she speaks. Recently, she reacted emotionally to President Trump’s announcement about dismantling the Department of Education.
As you might imagine, it was classic Fauxcahontas: virtually every word a lie, largely devoid of facts. In other words, Democrat-speak on steroids.
Here’s poor Liz:
She stressed the importance of public education in shaping the future and preserving democracy. Warren asserted her support for public education, emphasizing that only Congress, not Trump or Elon Musk, has the authority to eliminate the Department of Education.
She condemned the disrespect shown towards public school teachers, students, and the communities that rely on these institutions, deeming it appalling.
My response, momentarily.
LMAO… Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) looks like she is literally about to cry over Trump wanting to dismantle the Department of Education.

With respect to Warren’s assertion that Trump lacks the constitutional authority to shut down the Education Department, she’s unfortunately correct:
Despite the broad authority granted by the to the president, they do not have “unilateral and unrestrained authority over the Executive Branch” and “congressional action is required to create Executive Branch departments, to fund them, to determine the nature and scope of their duties and to confirm the appointment of their top leaders”. While the president manages the conduct of executive branch offices, “it is Congress, not the President, that establishes departments and agencies, and to whatever degree it chooses, the internal organization of agencies”.
So, where does that leave us?
For the above reason, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), on February 13, introduced a bill to fast-track Trump’s federal government reorganization plans.
The Reorganizing Government Act of 2025 would “ensure that Congress takes an up or down vote on government-wide reorganization plans submitted to Congress by President Donald Trump in order to streamline government operations to better serve the American people.”
Comer said about the bill:
Americans elected President Trump to reform Washington, and his team is working around the clock to deliver on that promise. The federal bureaucracy has grown dramatically in size and scope, creating unnecessary red tape. We must cut through the inefficiency and streamline government to improve service delivery and save taxpayers money.
Congress can fast-track President Trump’s government reorganization plans by renewing a key tool to approve them swiftly in Congress. The Reorganizing Government Act of 2025 does just that. I look forward to advancing this bill in the House Oversight Committee soon. We owe it to the American people to make government efficient, effective, and accountable.
To Comer’s larger point, Trump was decisively elected to “fix” the long-broken federal government, repair damage done by four disastrous years of the Biden-Harris administration, put an end to the insanity of “woke” and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), and more. The rub comes when Trump and the executive branch attempt to make changes they are constitutionally barred from making.
The solution? Continue to publicize the facts — in this case, the inexcusable state of public education in America — and convince Congress to make changes or dismantle worse-than-worthless departments.
Facts Aside, Let’s Look at Liz’s Lies and Deflections
While “public education is [and will remain] a critical part” of education in America, Warren “forgot” to add a few salient facts:
The United States has been struggling to keep up with other countries in terms of educational performance, particularly in mathematics and science. The consequences of this educational gap are far-reaching, impacting both the economy and the prospects of American workers.
The USA “is now the worst-educated workforce in the industrialized world. Because our workers are among the most highly paid in the world, that makes a lot of Americans uncompetitive in the global economy. And uncompetitive against increasingly smart machines. It is a formula for a grim future,” states a 2021 Education Week article.
In addition, Warren’s assertion that Trump and Musk “want to do everything they can to insult public school teachers, to insult public school students, and to insult the communities that depend on and support those public schools” is demonstrable nonsense.
On the contrary, it has been the Education Department, powerful teachers unions, and schools and teachers indoctrinating young kids into believing that so-called “transgenderism” and “gender-affirming care” (irreversible mutilation of children’s bodies) is perfectly normal that is truly despicable.
It also must be “all of the above” that continued to lower education and graduation requirements in the name of “equity.” In other words public education has largely become more about “the soft bigotry of low expectations” than educational excellence.
