"The Department of Education was created to close achievement gaps and improve student outcomes,” explains Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist, from the American Culture Project. But "outcomes aren’t getting any better. They’re getting worse!" Here’s why we don’t need the Department at all:

"There's no such thing as loan forgiveness. It just gets transferred to someone else," says Linda McMahon, Trump’s new Education Secretary. “That's not fair." I agree. Although I once sued Linda McMahon!

I have a conflict. I don’t much like Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump’s new Education Secretary. I sued her once. She and her sleazy husband, Vince, owned a circus called World Wrestling Entertainment. johnstossel.com/useless-govern…

I'm good at reporting, but lousy at growing coffee. That's ok! Thanks to trade, I get to specialize in what I'm good at, while leaving coffee growing to someone else. That makes trade "win-win" for EVERYONE. “Bunk!” Says Robert Reich. I say BUNK right back:

Do you want your doctor spouting woke, Marxist propaganda? That’s exactly what the AMA wants doctors to do. “Individualism is problematic." “Expose" property rights. “Can you imagine anyone actually doing this?” asks Matthew Yglesias.

Newark Airport is a disaster. Now Trump vows to upgrade the “horrible” air traffic system. It was obsolete decades ago. No private company would allow that Private companies upgrade. We should privatize air traffic control:

People complain about “migrant crime.” But how common is it compared to native “U.S. citizen" crime? It turns out immigrants have a LOWER crime rate. More different info about immigrants below:

I HATED, and sued Linda McMahon. Now I LIKE what she’s doing!

Activists say, "Climate change is worsening droughts!” But: Globally, drought has not increased since 1900. And in the U.S., the EPA says the last 50 years were wetter than average. The activists and the media (is there a difference?) get so much wrong about climate change:

We teach kids: share your toys. BUT mom doesn't share her phone, or car. “Hypocrites!" says Yaron Brook. His take: don't teach kids their toy belongs to all. Tell kids to find a REASON to share, to engage in trade. Our full interview:

There’s been a REVOLUTION in media. When I first started reporting, national discussion was controlled by 3 networks: ABC, CBS, and NBC. Today, millions of voices air on social media. @MichaelMalice is thrilled that the “corporate media” are losing influence:

The world is getting better! But when I listen to activists, everything sounds dismal! Why? Because: “For activists, success is a threat,” explains John Tierney. “It's going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

America keeps KILLING new mines. "Why in the world would you put billions of dollars at risk to get a permit? Knowing they'll just cancel a permit!" Physicist Mark P. Mills explains how environmental groups, and America's absurd regulations hurt us and even the environment:

The Court of International Trade hears arguments today about Trump’s tariffs. The Liberty Justice Center argues that Trump doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs. Liberty Justice Center represent a wine importer who calls the tariffs “a small business killer.”

Trumps’ tariff got China to reduce its tariffs to 10%! Yea Trump! But wait, China’s tariffs were even LOWER before Trump raised tariffs in his first term. When countries fight trade wars… WE LOSE. “Tariffs always make people poorer,” says economist @Scottlincicome.

Last month, President Donald Trump proudly announced, “Liberation Day! … The day American industry was reborn!” Reborn because of his tariffs, which he called, “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” This is just wrong. johnstossel.com/tariff-folly/

When he won his Nobel prize, Al Gore said the Arctic summer may be ice-free by 2014. Later he said it was LIKELY by 2016. Those dates came and went. There's still LOTS of ice. Turns out alarmists' predictions are alarmist. But they grab headlines. We debunk here:

Montana is now the 4th state to ban lab-grown meat (after FL, AL and MS). That’s disappointing. People should be free to choose what we eat. But ranchers don’t want the competition. They lobby to shut it down. Politicians obey. I ask a Montana cattleman about the bans here:

"That's illegal!" an Indiana lawmaker told small-time farmer Jeff Hawkins, after he testified that he processed chicken on his farm. Big politically connected farms use politics to crush competitors. It's a form of "corporate welfare," explains Johan Norberg:
