Trump Set to Sign Executive Order to Dismantle Department of Education

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency faces backlash over sweeping budget cuts targeting education and food programs while preserving tax breaks for billionaires.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, a move requiring congressional approval.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently announced $900 million in cuts to the Department of Education and $1 billion in reductions to food assistance programs.
Critics, including Joe Scarborough, have condemned the cuts as harmful to vulnerable populations and lacking a coherent fiscal strategy.
Public protests have erupted, including demonstrations in New York, opposing the cuts and their impact on underserved communities.
Scarborough criticized the Democratic Party for failing to capitalize on these issues politically and called for addressing tax benefits for billionaires and corporations.
