The federal government has always been a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine, but typically the people in charge try to hide the duct tape. On November 18, 2025, Education Secretary Linda McMahon decided to rip the tape off, dismantle the machine, and sell the parts to the neighbors. In what can only be described
