***IMMEDIATE ACTION***VOTE NO ON DANGEROUSLY UNQUALIFIED LINDA MC MAHON FOR EDUCATION SECRETARY [2-22-25]
Trump’s corrupt, dangerous, unqualified Cabinet nominees were chosen for their personal loyalty to him, not their expertise. Linda McMahon fits this mold—a Trump loyalist with no relevant educational experience, who
Refused to tell the Senate whether she’d follow an illegal Trump directive;
Intends to dismantle the Department of Education and use its funds to support private school vouchers—even though 90% of all children and 95% of those with disabilities learn and grow as human beings it’s in the public schools of our country—and tax cuts for billionaires;
Embraces Moms for Liberty, an anti-student inclusion extremist group promoting censorship of LGBTQ+ topics and book bans, and won’t commit to funding schools teaching Black history;
Currently embroiled in a lawsuit involving sexual misconduct against children.
Despite united Democratic opposition, a final vote’s imminent. If confirmed, her supporters will be complicit in the harms she causes America’s children and public education.
I am calling on Senators Merkley and Wyden to continue leading the fight against Trump’s abysmal nominees and the Trump-Musk assault on our government:
1) Placing a hold on her nomination until Trump agrees to retain the Department of Education, rescind his cruel and illegal DEI and educational executive orders, reinstate the Department’s personnel and restore all frozen funding;
2) Convincing Senate Democrats to use all available procedures to stall every nomination until Trump removes Musk and his posse from infiltrated agencies, lifts the freezes, restores the status quo, and promises his department heads will enforce all federal laws and expend funds as Congress intended.
ACTION One: Call the Senate.
SEN. MERKLEY: Portland office: 503-326-3386 | D.C. office: 202-224-3753
SEN. WYDEN: Portland office: 503-326-7525 | D.C. office: 202-224-5244
