20.03.2025 ⇢ Education Department Dismantling Day
⌨

Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, fulfilling a campaign promise and continuing the administration's restructuring efforts. While the department will be downsized rather than immediately eliminated, as complete elimination requires congressional approval, the White House indicated it will continue managing Pell Grants and student loans.

Israel's military operations intensified in Gaza with casualties rising throughout the day, reaching at least 85 Palestinians according to hospitals. Hamas responded by firing rockets at Tel Aviv as the ceasefire that had held since January fully collapsed.

Attorney General Pam Bondi charged three people with "domestic terrorism" for Tesla attacks, while a federal judge blocked DOGE from accessing sensitive Social Security data. The administration continues facing judicial resistance, with a judge criticizing deportation flight details as "woefully insufficient" and multiple judges facing threats after ruling against Trump policies.
