Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) decried President Donald Trump’s move to cut thousands of jobs at the U.S. Department of Education in a long post on X Thursday, but there was one problem — he was dead at the time.
The post from Grijalva’s official X account, posted at 3:16 p.m. Thursday, slammed the president’s decision — but Grijalva had died that morning, according to a statement from his family that read, “The Office of the 7th District of Arizona is saddened to announce the passing of Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva. Rep. Grijalva fought a long and brave battle. He passed away this morning due to complications of his cancer treatments.”
Right-leaning X users were quick to point out that words appeared to be putting words in the late congressman’s mouth.
“Whoever wrote the above post is impersonating a deceased Congressman,” replied Elon Musk.

President Trump’s latest reckless decision to fire thousands of employees at the Department of Education jeopardizes critical student aid programs, weakens protections for students’ civil rights, and undermines essential support for students with disabilities. This move severely threatens every child’s access to a quality education nationwide.
Trump and Musk are prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over the future of our students. It’s selfish, and it’s illegal. This radical gutting of the Department will mean funding cuts for every student:
- 26 million kids across every school district—rural, suburban and urban—will lose access to critical funding to help them get succeed.
- 12 million students will lose access to career and technical education, including pathways to good-paying jobs through apprenticeship programs in trades and STEM careers.
- 10 million students from low-income families could lose access to higher education.
- 7.5 million students with Individualized Education Plans—accounting for 15 percent of all students nationwide —will lose access to special education services.
We are living in a post-realty world.
Auto Pilot Democrats with their auto pens and auto press releases.
Democrats seem to be okay with dead people voting so I guess they can also post on social media after death too.

How does one get succeed?
Great grammar.
“Help them get succeed”
Louie (that’s what his mama called him) only used to talk like that when he was real drunk. Rest of the time he just yelled.
Dems can vote after they die. I don’t see why they can’t post on X after they die as well.

Notice the headline leaves out the all-important word “GOVERNMENT” job cuts.
How I hate the lying and deceitful Leftist MSM.
I heard someone once say: “Dead Democrats still vote.” Another person chimed in: “In Gary, IN, dead Democrats vote twice!” I believe it.
Yeah, and yet the DoE has manage to see the US student slip to 40th place among other nations in academics, but spends more per pupil than any other nation. Makes one wonder what good is the DoE.
