A few hours later, something very unusual happened. Raul Grijalva posted on X.
Raul M. Grijalva (@RepRaulGrijalva) ~ President Trump’s latest reckless decision to fire thousands of employees at the Department of Education jeopardizes critical student aid programs, weakens protections for students’ civil rights, and undermines essential support for students with disabilities. This move severely threatens every child’s access to a quality education nationwide.
Trump and Musk are prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over the future of our students. It’s selfish, and it’s illegal. This radical gutting of the Department will mean funding cuts for every student:
- 26 million kids across every school district—rural, suburban and urban—will lose access to critical funding to help them get succeed.
- 12 million students will lose access to career and technical education, including pathways to good-paying jobs through apprenticeship programs in trades and STEM careers.
- 10 million students from low-income families could lose access to higher education.
- 7.5 million students with Individualized Education Plans—accounting for 15 percent of all students nationwide —will lose access to special education services.

Understandably, folks were befuddled. The progressive Democrat was no fan of the Trump Administration or DOGE, but was he so impassioned that he was continuing to resist from beyond the grave?
For generations, the deceased have been one of the Democrats' most reliable voting blocks. Are recently departed Democrats now debating policy from the afterlife?
Your Highness Chrispy (@candyisyummy333) ~ Wow, so now Democrats not only vote after they die, but they can tweet too?
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ Dead people don’t just vote for democrats. They also post from the grave.
Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) ~ This guy was literally dead when his staff wrote this tweet and sent it out for him. That’s how fake the Democrat Party is.
Well, his staff typed it into X, but it was written by the DNC for all of the hive-minded lemmings to regurgitate.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
