As the bureaucracy swelled, left-wing bureaucrats were emboldened to waste taxpayer dollars on a radical agenda. As a result, our students have been left in the dust. Test scores are plummeting, students can\u2019t read, and college graduates leave school burdened by debt rather than equipped with workforce-ready skills.\n\n\u201cThe Democrat shutdown of our federal government made one thing clear: students and teachers can go to class without heavy-handed federal intervention. The Trump administration is making good on its promise to fix the nation\u2019s broken system by right-sizing the Department of Education to improve student outcomes. It\u2019s time to get our nation\u2019s students back on track. It\u2019s time to return education to those who are most committed to students\u2019 success: their communities.\n\n\u201cBottom line, this is about putting students before bureaucracy.\u201d\n\nBackground: The Education Department announced six interagency agreements that will allow the Department of Education to partner with other federal agencies, including the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State, on management of federal education programs.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://walberg.house.gov/media/press-releases/chair-walberg-praises-trump-putting-students-first-right-sizing-ed"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.903720200061798, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
