Today’s Cabinet Actions: Education Overhaul, Treasury Shift, and Defense Directives

U.S. Executive Departments implemented major policy shifts today, including downsizing the Department of Education, new Treasury regulations, and directives affecting the Department of Defense. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced a plan to reduce federal involvement in schools, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suspended corporate transparency enforcement. Elon Musk’s efficiency mandates drew mixed reactions, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced civilian workforce accountability measures. These moves signal a push toward deregulation, fiscal conservatism, and structural government changes.
