Democrats escalate impeachment talk against Education Secretary over department overhaul

Democrats in Congress are intensifying calls to impeach Education Secretary Linda McMahon and are pressing for an inspector general investigation into mass staff firings, as she pursues a broad reshaping aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. Supporters argue the changes restore state control and improve outcomes, while critics contend the moves harm students and federal workers and could cost taxpayers. Republicans and the White House defend the reorganization as returning education authority to the states.
