🚨🇺🇸 SLASHING BUREAUCRACY: TRUMP PUSHES TO SHRINK EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Trump officials are drafting an executive order to gut the Education Department, cutting all functions not explicitly required by law and shifting others to different agencies.
DOGE is reportedly backing the effort, with reps already working inside the agency to streamline operations.
The plan includes eliminating federal influence over curricula, limiting regulations on schools, and reducing the department’s workforce.
Some officials want to wait until Linda McMahon is confirmed as Education Secretary before rolling out the order, avoiding political roadblocks.
Meanwhile, Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill to abolish the department entirely by 2026.
Trump's team is also considering tactics used to break down USAID—cutting resources, deactivating systems, and sidelining employees.
Already, 60 department staffers have been placed on leave.

🚨🇺🇸TRUMP TARGETS DEI IN EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SHAKEUP
At least 55 Education Department employees—many tied to diversity initiatives—have been placed on paid leave as Trump moves to roll back DEI programs in federal agencies.
Some employees attended diversity trainings encouraged during Trump’s first term, raising questions about whether participation is now being used against them.
Workers were reportedly offered 8 months’ salary to resign, fueling speculation that the administration is looking to streamline the workforce as part of its broader agenda.
