In this episode of EdFix, education policy veterans Denise Forte and Andy Rotherham tackle one of the most pressing—and polarizing—questions in American education: should the U.S. Department of Education shrink or shift power to the states? With sharp insights and real-world experience, they unpack the motivations behind efforts to dismantle the department and what that could mean for equity, accountability, and student rights. From civil rights enforcement to federal funding, they explore what's lost (and what might be gained) in a state-led system. It's a timely and clear-eyed conversation about equity, accountability, and the future of public education. Denise Forte is President and CEO of EdTrust. Andy Rotherham is Co-Founder and Senior Partner at Bellwether. [Transcript for Episode 42 is available on EdFixPodcast.com]

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson speaks with NPR's Elissa Nadworny to unpack the Trump administration's efforts to withhold federal funding from colleges and universities over issues like antisemitism and DEI practices. They discuss how these unprecedented moves are impacting not campus life, but vital medical and scientific research nationwide. Elissa explains the legal challenges schools like Harvard are mounting in response, the stakes involved for the entire higher education sector, and the broader implications for public policy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Federal Funding as a Lever in Higher Education Policy: The episode opens by surveying recent actions from the Trump administration regarding federal funding for colleges and universities. The administration is using financial levers—pausing, freezing, or cutting funds—to influence policies on campus, particularly tied to issues like DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antisemitism. Mechanisms and Legality of Federal Control: The speakers discuss how and why the administration has the power to control this funding. The complexities of federal funding—who controls the purse strings, when Congress vs. the executive branch has authority, and what legal mechanisms are at play—come up. The episode highlights that while presidents can make funding conditional, the legality often hinges on whether proper procedures are followed (Administrative Procedures Act), not just on broad authority.Who Really Loses When Funds Are Cut: The speakers emphasize that federal research dollars are not just about student amenities—they fund major scientific, medical, and technological research. The implications of large-scale cuts ripple well beyond campuses, potentially hurting national health, technological innovation, and local economies (since universities are major employers and research hubs).Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica talks with USA Today reporter Erin Mansfield about the Trump administration's efforts to overhaul and reduce the federal workforce. They discuss the administration's push for greater executive power, the agencies hit hardest by job cuts, and the impact on public services like education and food safety. Erin also explains the legal battles unfolding over these changes, including the significance of the landmark Supreme Court case Humphrey's Executor and the future independence of federal agencies. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Federal Workforce Under the Trump Administration: Trump's administration is undertaking dramatic efforts to reshape--and notably reduce--the federal workforce, prompting widespread job insecurity, potential displacements, and structural overhauls throughout the government.Who is Affected by Federal Workforce Reductions: Erin outlines which agencies are most impacted. Socially-oriented agencies—like the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, USDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency—face the brunt of the cutbacks, while national security, law enforcement, and immigration agencies are largely exempt. She clarifies that massive cuts are not equally distributed across all departments. Real-Life Impacts of Workforce Reduction: Jessica and Erin discuss how these changes might touch everyday Americans. Reductions in the workforce could affect everything from food safety inspections and educational grant administration to public health services and climate research—potentially making certain public services less effective or slower.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@_erinmansfield

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another deep dive in our “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series. This time, they unpack the U.S. Department of Education—its massive $241.7 billion annual budget, over 4,000 employees, and a growing list of responsibilities that stretch from preschool to post-graduate programs. But here's the twist: Many of the programs you might assume fall under the Department of Education actually don't. For example, the federal Head Start preschool program is run by the Department of Health and Human Services. And even more surprising? The Department of Education has its own disaster recovery unit—despite FEMA already handling emergency response at a national level. David and Jeremiah explore how this kind of duplication across federal agencies leads to confusion, inefficiency, and wasted taxpayer dollars. From overlapping financial literacy programs to higher education policies that funnel students into costly four-year degrees, the episode makes the case for smarter, streamlined approaches that empower students and families—not bureaucracies. They also highlight a common-sense reform that could save the federal government $9.4 billion without cutting services: giving students more flexibility in how they use federal aid for education paths that make the most sense for them. If you've ever wondered why sending your kid to college feels so expensive—or why the federal government seems to do the same job twice—this episode is for you.

Domestic Terrorism Against Tesla: We discuss the recent surge in violence and arson targeting Tesla, which Elon Musk has described as unprecedented coordinated violence against a peaceful company. We highlight the political context, suggesting that the Democratic Party is characterized by anger and hatred, particularly towards figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Mentioning specific incidents of arson and vandalism against Tesla vehicles and properties, including the use of Molotov cocktails and firearms. We criticizes prominent Democrats, including Tim Walz, for allegedly encouraging or not condemning these acts of violence. Also we reference a podcast interview with Elon Musk where these issues were discussed in detail. We concludes with a note on the legal actions being taken against those involved in the attacks on Tesla properties. Trump's Executive Order to Abolish the Department of Education: Donald Trump's executive order to shut down the Department of Education, aiming to return control over education to states and local districts. We argue that the current federal spending on education is inefficient and that the U.S. ranks poorly in educational outcomes despite high per-pupil spending. We support school choice and criticizes the federal Department of Education for pushing a "woke" agenda. Statements from Trump and other supporters who believe that abolishing the Department of Education will improve educational outcomes by reducing bureaucracy and increasing local control. Also we discuss the potential impact on school choice and how it could benefit students by fostering competition among schools. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
