President Trump has pushed Republican leaders to press harder to pass his election overhaul, the Save America act, but the controversial bill doesn't have the votes to pass. The president made his announcement on the housing bill online and expressed his frustration in an angry post calling Republicans dumb for allowing what he described as a horrible calamity to happen to the party. The move is likely to increase friction between Trump and Republican lawmakers who have been clamoring for any legislative accomplishment to be able to take back to voters ahead of the midterms. But the bill is still likely to become law automatically over the weekend unless Trump vetoes it. Franco Ordonez, NPR News, the White House.

For months, the disability community has been on edge about the special education office moving to the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a recording of the call obtained by npr. Kelly Rogers, who oversees that office, said the staff with expertise in special education will move to hhs, but that she would continue to oversee them from her perch at the Education Department. She promised that federal funds and oversight of special education laws would not be disrupted by the changes. Several advocates told NPR they left the call more concerned about how this move would improve the lives of students and educators.
