Here's what we're covering.
Donald Trump has made another unconventional pick for his cabinet, choosing Linda McMahon, who has almost no background in education, for secretary of education.
McMahon is a former wrestling executive who led WWE.
She's also a close personal friend of Trump's who served during his first term running the Small Business Administration.
Trump has repeatedly talked about getting rid of the Department of Education altogether, but that would require congressional action instead.
Times reporter Erica Green says that McMahon, if she's confirmed, will likely upend the department from the inside at Trump's request.
Like many conservatives, President elect Donald Trump believes that the Department of Education has inserted itself into issues that it shouldn't be a part of, such as race, gender, that it delivers edicts on what students should be taught and how and ultimately has taken power away from parents.
Erica says there are some clues about where McMahon might focus.
