Trump announces new DOGE objectives: Pentagon and Education

President Donald Trump announced that after dismantling the U.S. foreign aid office, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency will be targeting the Pentagon and Department of Education next. Musk and his department have been making controversial moves, such as offering buyouts to federal workers and attempting to shut down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), leading to protests and lawsuits. Musk, described as “White House Tech Support,” claimed to have fed USAID “into the wood chipper.” This has resulted in backlash and legal challenges, including claims that only Congress has the authority to close USAID, which it created. Additionally, DOGE was involved in accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system, raising concerns about the security of sensitive information. This is a developing story, and more details are expected to emerge. Stay tuned for updates.
