Democrats are opposing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency as it turns its attention to the Education Department, with lawmakers raising questions about DOGE’s access to internal systems containing personal information on tens of millions of Americans. A group of Democrats tells the acting education secretary it's seeking to intervene as DOGE appears to gain increasing access to student loan databases. Democrats fear it could lay the groundwork for a takeover akin to Musk’s attempt to close the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Democrats want details about DOGE’s work and vow to fight any attempt to close the Education Department. The Republican president has set out to abolish the department.
