President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to eliminate the Department of Education and allow states to oversee education—or the lack thereof. “One other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education working needs back to the states,” he said in a video message on Truth Social. Trump added that the Department of Education is staffed by people who "in many cases, hate our children" and “we want states to run the education of our children because they’ll do a much better job of it. You can’t do worse.”But that could mean that children could get widely different education depending on where they grow up. For years, the GOP has been attacking education by implementing book bans in red states and attacks on transgender children by falsely claiming teachers are trying to assign sex changes for their students. Now, they’re in a position of power to dismantle education completely.

As a longtime blues fan whose dad was from Chicago, I’ve written about the city’s urban electric blues scene as well as some of the greatest blues men and women who helped make the Windy City the epicenter of electric blues. A vocalist and guitarist who never “made it” in the commercial sense is often overlooked in the Chicago blues pantheon, but he is still considered one of the all-time greats. I’m talking about Mississippi-born Otis Rush, who joined the ancestors on Sept. 29, 2018.Join me in remembering the man and his music on this anniversary of his passing on.”Black Music Sunday” is a weekly series highlighting all things Black music, with over 230 stories covering performers, genres, history, and more, each featuring its own vibrant soundtrack. I hope you’ll find some familiar tunes and perhaps an introduction to something new.

Mark Cuban has become a vociferous supporter of Vice President Harris' presidential bid, serving as a social media counterweight to fellow tech billionaires like Elon Musk.Why it matters: Cuban has economic and health care bonafides in an election where inflation, taxes and abortion are taking center stage.Behind the scenes: Cuban is not an official surrogate for Harris, but tells Axios that he is in regular dialog with her campaign:"I talk to them. I tell them I'm going to say what's on my mind. They say as long as you say you don't speak for us, go for it."He adds that while he got along with Biden staffers, he only had one or two calls with them.By the numbers: He has nearly 9 million followers on X, where he relishes keyboard combat, and is a constant television presence via Shark Tank returns.Cuban has tweeted more than two dozen times about the election in the past week, including critiques of Trump's U.S. sovereign wealth fund proposal and arguing that Harris is "more supportive of entrepreneurs than any candidate in a long time."He also appeared on CNBC to call Harris "pro business."Catch up quick: Cuban is a Pittsburgh native who now lives in Dallas. He got rich by founding and selling a couple tech companies during the dotcom boom, and then raised his profile by buying the Dallas Mavericks and becoming one of the NBA's most outspoken owners (he sold the club last year).He later became a successful tech investor, writing early checks for companies like Uber, and has been a longterm advocate for cryptocurrencies. In 2022 he launched Cost Plus Drugs, a direct-to-consumer provider of generic medicines at discount prices.State of play: Cuban isn't a reflexive partisan. For example, he's supporting the Republican challenger to Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and helped fund efforts to get alternative candidates like RFK Jr. on the ballot. He has not donated to any political candidates in more than two decades, according to FEC records, and there's no indication that will change with this election.The bottom line: Cuban's political pen is arguably more powerful than his pocketbook.
