Meanwhile MAGA opponents of US aid want to completely dismantle the Department of Education:

We already have all the future plans of the only significant political group in the country that opposes Ukraine aid, and that group has given us their plans (Project 2025) and they are so far removed from helping teachers that it's a joke.

The people who care about teachers are the same people who care about Ukraine. We can fund both if we stop handing out billionaire tax breaks like we did under Trump. So if you care about teachers, MAGA is a far greater risk to them than helping our allies in Ukraine.

There's also the fact that if Russia succeeds in Ukraine he will continue to rebuild the Soviet Union and eventually we'll have to spend more. We're supposed to learn from past mistakes and not sit back and let Hitler Part 2 run through the same fucking playbook.

MTG taps on head

You can’t underpay teachers if you don’t employ any teachers
