Steny Hoyer Confronts Linda McMahon Over $2.3 Billion in Education Cuts and Department Shutdown

Congressman Steny Hoyer confronts Education Secretary Linda McMahon in a powerful exchange over the Trump administration’s unprecedented move to shut down the Department of Education — without congressional approval.

In this heated hearing, Hoyer presses McMahon on whether she even consulted legal counsel before taking steps to eliminate the agency. At the center of the controversy? A massive 55% funding cut, reducing $4.3 billion across 18 education programs down to just $2 billion — all without clear authority from Congress.

This video breaks down why these cuts matter: how they affect public education, Title I and IDEA funding, and the legal implications of attempting to bypass congressional power. You'll hear McMahon defend the administration’s plan as “streamlining,” while Hoyer accuses her of trying to gut federal support for schools under the guise of reducing red tape.
