The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
Congress sends a letter to the EPA about their supposed use of Signal encrypted messaging app (created for use in authoritarian regimes hah). I'm sure they'll be right on the White House's usage of private email addresses and a similar app next right?
Of course it's Lamar Smith finding new ways to protect everyone from the evil climate change hoaxers.
Two Republican members of Congress sent a formal letter Tuesday to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of the Inspector General, expressing concern that “approximately a dozen career EPA officials” are using the encrypted messaging app Signal to covertly plan strategy and may be running afoul of the Freedom of Information Act.
Looks like Puzder is out. I'm sure Trump will blame multiple people before the end of the day. He only hires the best people.

News: Source very close to Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder tells me he expects Puzder to withdraw. "He's very tired of the abuse."

Wonder what his ex-wife thinks of that quote.

Very tired of the realization that he won't get to just do what he wants because he's rich and that his dirty laundry is going to be thoroughly aired.
If he's pulling out it means more than two senators on the GOP side of the aisle were not going to confirm him. First step is to actually get the administration to put competent people up for these roles and realize that the answer isn't simply "blow it up". Regulations are needed and not everything can be pushed to a state level.
The more they push to a state level the more you will see a huge disparity between have and have not states. And I again have to say I don't understand that mentality as have states already tend to be higher educated and lean democrat (or are very centrist). So the GOP has everything to lose if the have not states start to turn on them because the Federal government has been removed from their lives...at some point they'll figure out what those departments actually did for them. Or maybe they'll be happy teaching creation in their home schools while the blue states thrive.

It's good to see GOP senators stand up to Trump on some things. It's sad they couldn't get together on DeVos, who was really the most awful of the choices.

Maybe the moral of the story is that if you pay off enough people you just might get what you want. Maybe Puzder didn't open the wallet enough times?
That girl in red bottom right seems to be thinking, "great, the turd will tweet this and now I won't be able to show my face at school tomorrow. Some field trip this is."
But why, why would any wealthy business person want to give up 4 years of their lives to be a politician? Is it for the bribes or what? I can't even fathom why Schwarzenegger took a hiatus from making movies to be governor of California. If he's ever down and out, he will be like, "why didn't I make more movies, I could have more millions of dollars?!"
I, for one am frightened the Education Secretary is high enough up the list it could be her.
That's fake news. People need to wake up and listen to Trump! The succession order starts and ends with the Supreme Court! The judiciary has gotten out of hand and believes it is the president! We have to stop these so-called judges!
or something like that. Though he'll likely go Alex Jones and National Enquirer about the Clintons and Obama looking to overthrow the government and become a three-headed dictator.

Because some can't seem to have enough money ever. He gets this plum position and sets workers rights back a few decades and then sit back and watch the increased profits come in.

Gotta think she's going to pack it in sooner or later anyway. She is pretty useless and she looks just defeated. I would look pretty exhausted too trying to remember all the different lies and angles every day. Plus, Omarosa can fill right in, she's ready to go and she loves television.
