You’ve probably heard this one before: Ghislaine Maxwell once had a hideout in New Hampshire. It’s where she lay low while an arrest warrant was out for her before she was found—and believe it or not, the property still hasn’t sold.

This week, we asked readers: If you had to vote today, who would you pick for president in 2028? And why? Here’s what you had to say…

“Bernie Sanders.” — Sean Kerwin

“J.D. Vance.” — Scott Black

“Pete Buttigieg! No really means new opportunities. Always be positive!” — Cherie Corbett 

“I would pick Gavin Newsom. He is young and he is smart. I believe he cares about the nation and its people. And doesn’t seem to take crump from other politicians.” — Deborah Manning

“Corey Booker” — Robin Thomas

“Definitely Pete B.” — Margaret Prolman

“Anyone who is not a Republican.” — Joyce Hurd

“Mark Kelly has the internal discipline and the courage to lead this country where it needs to go.” — George C. Bradley

“Josh Shapiro.” — Tom Chew 

“Marco Rubio.” — Joe Vogelsang

“I think that both Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom are both very worthy candidates, being intelligent, well spoken and well informed. However, I think that some people (not me!) would be biased because of Pete being gay. So I feel that Gavin Newsom would have a better chance at winning.”— Lynda Williams

The Trump administration is moving closer to dismantling the US Education Department, shifting some of its biggest grant programs to other federal agencies.

Title I funding for low-income schools is moving to the Department of Labor, while other programs are moving to Health and Human Services, the State Department, and the Interior Department.

Some worry that all this change will interrupt services for students who rely on extra support.

So this week’s question is…

What do you think of Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education?
