Trump’s first weeks back in office make one thing clear—his mission to dismantle and overhaul the federal bureaucracy is well underway.
His playbook is simple: grant the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to an agency, expose financial waste, and cut aggressively—eliminating excess spending and personnel, leaving the agency in ruin.
USAID, it seems, was just the beginning.
After uncovering massive waste there, Trump and Elon Musk have now set their sights on their next target: the Department of Education. Trump has vowed to eliminate the department, but first, he intends to expose the waste.
Elon Musk’s DOGE team has secured “administrator” email accounts at the Department of Education, just as President Trump announced that Musk will be taking a closer look at the agency.
NBC continues:
One longtime employee at the Department of Education who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal sentiments said there is an urgent and deep worry sweeping across the agency’s career staff as DOGE sets its sights on them.
It looks like there’s a new sheriff in town, and Democrats are panicking.
On Friday morning, a group of House Democrats attempted to enter the Education Department headquarters to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise Carter after 95 signed a letter expressing concern about the administration’s plans to possibly try to close the department. The representatives were stopped by security and denied entry, sparking a chaotic scene as lawmakers clamored to get in.
Read our reporting on the storming of the DOE here that happened Friday morning.
This follows similar scenes earlier this week at USAID.
It seems Trump, Musk, and DOGE have caught Democrats off guard with the fury and intensity of their mission. And despite Schumer’s confident assurances a the protests earlier this week, the only response Democrats seem to have left is mobs and angry words.

I saw video of this confrontation. I think the irony was lost on Maxine Waters, telling the security guard “you work for me!” When actually, it’s the other way around.
I’ve been in higher education almost 40 years and I’ve yet to see anything useful come out of the D of Ed.
I’ve been in lower education for almost 30 years and also have seen nothing useful from this department.
Be careful Maxine, you may get a lesson from the board of education.
My farter was a teacher, middle & then HS. e got the woodshop teacher to make an oak paddle, 3/4 x 5 x 24″, with ~ a 6″ handle., one side smooth, the other with slots. When I had children that paddle hung on the wall, and later I showed it to grand children. It was labeled Bd of Ed.
I got a taste of a modified cricket bat in high school.
That dude was a saint. Having to stand his ground knowing these Congress Critters were intentionally creating a circus and also knowing the simps in the media will investigate him a likely Dox him and his family.
He was also smart in NOT showing his ID to Maxine knowing she would call out his name and make him the focal point of violent retaliation.
I liked the comment someone made that the guard should have said “I am here to vote so I don’t need no steenkin ID.” Hmmm, how many cultural references did I get there?
His reply to Waters when she demanded ID should have been simple and to the point. “I thought demanding ID was racist”.
Everyone in that mob, regardless of prior status, needs to be held in the same prison as the January 6th “insurrectionists”, denied access to counsel, bond, trial, friends and family, medical care, and daylight, for as long as the longest held Sixther was.
