“The Trump administration’s bid to dismantle the Education Department was rebuked on Thursday by the Senate education committee, which approved a bipartisan bill that would block the executive branch from gutting the agency,” the New York Times reports.
“The legislation faces a long road to becoming law. Competing legislation in the House would instead codify many of the administration’s actions, and President Trump is unlikely to sign into law a measure that directly undermines his policy agenda.”
