I hope you get some sleep this week.

I know sort of no rest for the wicked, but thanks very much for joining us tonight, Ezra.

It's good to see you.

We'll be right back.

Stay with us.

It was last August when a gunman who was all weirded out about COVID vaccines decided to shoot at the CDC in Atlanta.

That gunman killed a police officer, broke 150 windows, and terrified the people who work at the CDC, sprayed glass shards all over CDC offices.

Again, that was in August when that happened.

Now the Associated Press is out with this headline, quote, Yeah, what counts as a sign that a part of the government is being abandoned, if not destroyed, by Donald Trump?

Over at the CDC, they're not even replacing the windows there that are full of bullet holes.

That seems like a sign.

Also, have a look at the federal Department of Education.

The Trump administration can't legally shut it down without Congress allowing it to.

But Congress has nevertheless gotten rid of basically half the people who work there and has shut down or farmed out its major programs.

Now Trump is forcing them to give up the building that has been the Department of Education's headquarters for decades.

just walking away from that building.

The American public consistently says they do not want Trump to destroy the U.S.

Department of Education, but he is destroying it anyway.

And now, as of this week, its headquarters will be gone.
