DOGE is shifting attention to the Department of Education sparking a mini revolution among agency bureaucrats as Elon Musk's nerd army stormed into the building on Tuesday and saved over $900 million.
Musk's lieutenants Akash Bobba and Ethan Shaotran, both 22 years old already have access to the department, NBC News reported.
And there are reportedly as many as 16 team members are on the directory and have entered the premises as the agency begins to be ripped apart.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury, (D-MD) described the terror agency staff are feeling after Musk's team entered to 'actively dismantle' the department.
'They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts,' she said in an interview with HuffPost.
'It's not legal. They know it's not legal. But they're doing it anyway,' Stansbury went on. 'The only recourse we have right now is to to go the courts.'
She added that she expects the agency to be 'dissolved in the coming days.'
The Education Department was targeted by Donald Trump during his campaign, who is keen to dismantle the so-called 'Deep State'.
Most Republicans believe it employs some of the most activist liberal bureaucrats in the federal government.
Trump plans to sign another executive order on Tuesday to order all agencies to work with DOGE, according to Semafor, including with the 'workplace optimization initiative.'
The order is the latest sign that Trump is fully on board with Musk's efforts amidst protests from Democrats that he is an unelected billionaire.
The department has already terminated 89 Education Department contracts worth $881 million.
And over 29 training grants for DEI have been eliminated saving $101 million, according to the DOGE X account.

O, bew hew.
I’m still recovering from the hysteria of the past four years.
this is unbelievable
“The department has already terminated 89 Education Department contracts worth $881 million.
And over 29 training grants for DEI have been eliminated saving $101 million, according to the DOGE X account.”
A sweet one billion dollars.
There is no way we are going near the debt ceiling in this administration—guess the Democrats will have to find something else to whine about...
I wish Stansbury was a Maryland rep, unfortunately she’s 1st district New Mexico.
Most Republicans believe it employs some of the most activist liberal bureaucrats in the federal government.
Uh ohhh...after the sacred cow
Break out the comfort animals and cocoa! We’re going to need them!
Is there a level of satisfaction beyond SCHADENFREUDE? If so I’m feeling it now!
So what? Newton was 21.5 when he invented calculus. Kamala is 60 and can't complete a sentence and they wanted her to be president.
“Is there a level of satisfaction beyond SCHADENFREUDE?”
Schadenboner.

Nothing more scary to a leftist bureaucrat than a “well drilled” DOGE Nerd. That and the concept of honesty!
Rep. Melanie Stansbury, (D-MD) described the terror agency staff are feeling after Musk's team entered to 'actively dismantle' the department.
No bimbo, the Deep Staters are not being killed, so stifle the terror talk dumb ass.
God bless Trump and Musk. I never imagined, in my wildest dreams, they would come out as hard and as fast as they did…..with a sledgehammer no less. I expected months of audits, proposals of restructuring, confessional hearings l. And IF we were lucky, Trump would get it done by the end of his term.
*congressional* hearings, although confessional hearings might be needed too.
Every single day is a wonderful blessing being granted this nation and the whole world.
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen. ‘
- Romans 11: 33-36.
My boss would often of home early and put me in charge of a busy little office when I was 22. Way above my pay grade. Literally.
