Trump's cabinet picks are a declaration of war on expertise and facts (that's why there are several Fox hosts in the mix). The con artists, fraudsters, and professional propagandists that populate authoritarian governments see facts and laws as impediments to their goals.
Linda McMahon, Trump’s pick for Education secretary, resigned from a state education board shortly after a newspaper asked her about her false claim that she had an education degree.

Are we headed for a world where every student has a 24/7 1-1 tutor? My takes on the AI tutoring landscape right now, and what's coming: aiinterpreter.substack.com/p/the-coming-a… (tldr: "cheap + widely available" is a big deal even if the AIs aren't human-quality at everything.)
Iowa just got redder, even as voters there seem to hate the political priorities of the people they keep voting for. One example: school vouchers, which Iowans are overwhelmingly opposed to blogforiowa.com/2024/11/17/rel…
It is a grave sin to exploit the vulnerable, a grave sin that corrodes fraternity and devastates society. As disciples of Jesus, we desire to bring to the world the leaven of the Gospel. May we put God first, along with those whom He especially loves: the poor and the weak.
RFK Jr's campaign of misinformation about the measles vaccine in American Samoa caused vaccinations to plummet. What followed--measles spread through the island. Sickening 5,700 people and killing 83, most of them young children. Our next Secy of Health and Human Services

Donald Trump does not have the mandate he thinks he has. The proof is in the numbers. Check out my latest Tomlinson's Take newsletter. link.houstonchronicle.com/view/59de2bbd1… #txlege #Election2024US @HoustonChron @ExpressNews
Let me add that this is turning out to be even worse than my worst nightmares. These picks for key positions are just horrific
.@NormOrnstein is a better man than I. At the moment, I'm just angry and hoping the people who voted for Trump will understand what they have done when his policies hurt them, not the real elites - the GOP donor class he will reward.
1. A few days ago, I wrote a thread about the pros and cons of staying on this platform and asked for your views. They were very helpful. As a result, I’ve decided to stop using X from January 20. Already I’m mostly posting now on BlueSky (@georgemonbiot.bsky.social) instead.🧵
I've been involved in winning presidential races and races that lost. One common thread is that everyone seems to have a reason why you won or lost which usually reflects a personal perspective or agenda. So here's mine: I think VP Harris ran a very good campaign that operated…
