Why Trump's Plan to Kill the Education Department May Fail
Briefly

The article discusses the Trump administration's comprehensive efforts to reshape federal agencies, particularly through its influence over the Office of Management and Budget and other key departments. It highlights actions such as a spending freeze and the reshuffling of personnel to align with conservative priorities. The Department of Education is a focal point for elimination threats, with attempts to eradicate perceived indoctrination programs. However, the complexities of dismantling such agencies point to underlying challenges, even in the face of aggressive reform initiatives.
The Trump administration's early tactics have turned federal agencies into extensions of its own agenda, with significant moves to freeze spending and reshape the personnel system.
The Office of Management and Budget has been so fully MAGA-ized that its interim director felt justified in freezing federal spending without consulting the administration.
Trump's efforts to eliminate the Department of Education reflect a conflict between radical anti-government beliefs and the practical challenges of dismantling a federal agency.
The overhauling of agencies like USAID symbolizes the administration's broader agenda against established federal functions and its desire to replace them with its own priorities.
