"To my friends who are upset,call somebody who cares," Kennedy said during a Fox News interview.

Senator,

You are being paid to care.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has advice for anyone concerned about President Donald Trump's pending funding freeze, and potential shutdown of the Department of Education: get over it.

According to a Politico report, Trump is planning to "dismantle" the Education Department through an executive order in the coming days — which comes after the president and billionaire "Elon Musk moved to eradicate" the US Agency for International Development Monday.

Democratic lawmakers were even blocked from entering the USAID building.

"To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares," Kennedy said during a Fox News interview. "You know, they better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow."

Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong Fast replied: "Yeah but none of these people have the constitutional authority to dissolve parts of the federal government"

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) commented: "Exactly what I was saying earlier: piece by piece, department by department, they are working to purge employees, consolidate power, gut programs -- even if they can't get everything immediately through executive fiat, they will decimate the federal government and sell it for parts. No program will be safe.
