A serious Congress would sweep away the ten worst Donald Trump picks instantly as the unserious gobbledygook they are, and demand that a man who intends to be President of the United States start acting remotely like one.
Many of his cabinet picks are the picks of a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress worried that Gabbard might leak information to Syria
When she arrived in Congress, Tulsi Gabbard was seen as a rising Democratic star. But over time, her views on Russia and Syria shocked, puzzled and alarmed her colleagues.

Assad falling in Syria shows just how much Russia has been weakened by their invasion of Ukraine. Settling with Russia now would show weakness on America’s part.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Right on!
People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.
This is not a hot take.
It's just plain common sense.

If there’s one we all know it’s that no one knows exactly what’s going to unfold after Trump is sworn in. Christ, TRUMP doesn’t even know. His impulsive ass will change his mind ten times between his bed and the bathroom that morning.

From the political movement that claims to hate participation trophies:
Trump, speaking after being named "Patriot of the Year" by Fox -- note the Fox "hard news" anchor in the crowd applauding him -- says "we are gonna do things that have been really needed for a long time. And we are gonna look at elections."

Thank you, Joe Biden.
U.S. job creation bounced back in November after disruptions from storms and a major strike. The Labor Department reported on Friday that the economy added 227,000 jobs last month. Revisions to the prior two months added 56,000 jobs. nyti.ms/3Bjjdse

There should be no billionaires in government—full stop. Someone who is a billionaire is definitionally not in a position to understand the life of an average voter and—more than this and equally definitionally—has exactly the wrong relationship with the ways the American financial system is broken.
There are at least 11 billionaires among Trump's Cabinet picks—and that doesn't include Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy.

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.
