One of the biggest targets? The Department of Education.
The Trump administration wasted no time slashing unnecessary spending. So far, DOGE has identified and terminated 89 wasteful contracts totaling a staggering $881 million. That’s just the beginning. More than $1 billion in DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) contracts within the Department of Education have also been eliminated.
Trump has long argued that education should be left to the states, not controlled by Washington bureaucrats. His ultimate goal? Shutting down the Department of Education entirely.
McMahon’s Bold Move
Last week, the Department of Education made a groundbreaking announcement—it was cutting its workforce by half. In a statement, McMahon made it clear that this was just the beginning.
“Today’s reduction in force reflects the Department of Education’s commitment to efficiency, accountability, and ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most: to students, parents, and teachers,” McMahon stated.
She acknowledged the impact of these cuts but stood by the administration’s mission to strip down Washington’s bloated bureaucracy.
“This is a significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system,” she added.
The Interview That Set Democrats Off
On Tuesday night, McMahon sat down with Laura Ingraham to discuss these changes. Ingraham wasted no time getting to the point, asking if this was the first step toward completely eliminating the Department of Education.
“Now, is this the first step on the road to a total shutdown?” Ingraham asked.
McMahon didn’t hesitate.
“Yes, actually, it is,” she confirmed. Then she delivered the bombshell—Trump had personally instructed her to “shut down the Department of Education.”
She explained that the administration was starting with immediate cuts to eliminate waste while ensuring essential programs remained intact.
“But what we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat,” McMahon told Ingraham. “And that’s not to say that a lot of the folks—it’s a humanitarian thing to a lot of the folks that are there, they’re out of a job, but we wanted to make sure that we kept all of the right people and the good people to make sure that the outward facing programs, the grants, the appropriations that come from Congress, all of that, are being met, and none of that’s going to fall through the cracks.”
She reinforced Trump’s belief that states—not the federal government—should be in control of education.
“We want more money to be able to go to the states, and that’s what the President’s said all along, if we get rid of the bureaucracy, the states will get more,” McMahon stated. “It’ll go directly into the states.”
Democrats Panic
The left erupted in fury over McMahon’s remarks. Liberal pundits and the mainstream media accused Trump of launching an “attack on education,” but the facts tell a different story.

The truth is, America spends more per student than any other country, yet test scores continue to decline. The current system is failing.
Trump’s plan shifts power away from union bosses and unelected bureaucrats, putting parents and teachers back in charge of education. The administration isn’t waging war on education—it’s saving it.
Democrats may be outraged, but the American people aren’t fooled. The movement to take back education has begun—and Trump’s vision for a government that serves the people is coming to life.
