    Linda McMahon on the Department of Education's 'Final Mission'
    Jun 17 2025
    Forty-five years after its creation, the Department of Education has spent $3 trillion, even as educational outcomes have declined and the agency now swims in student-loan debt. On this episode of All Things, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon breaks down Donald Trump's plan to return education to the states--and to ultimately close the department. She explains cuts to the federal bureaucracy; plans to overhaul the department's behemoth K-12 grant program; the administration's fight with colleges over antisemitism and woke ideology, as well as Harvard's lawsuit; and the ongoing effort to move some 1.8 million borrowers back into student-loan repayment plans.

    Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins on Reforming Food Benefits and Returning Power to the States
    Jun 11 2025
    The Department of Agriculture is walking point on federal food-stamp reform, and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joins All Things to talk about the more controversial changes. She explains the need for work requirements and cost sharing in the program--both proposals in congressional Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill"--as well as her "passion" for "devolving power back to the people" by granting states waivers to innovate in their food-assistance programs, including by implementing new restrictions on the purchase of sugary drinks and snacks. Rollins also lays out Donald Trump's ambitious plans for the U.S. Forest Service to help revitalize American timber production and cut back on wildfires. Learn more about your ad choices.
