Tom Vilsack for Agriculture Secretary Is Everything That’s Wrong With the Democratic Party
Our planet and rural communities cannot afford four more years of Vilsack’s aggressive corporatism.

ON TUESDAY, AFTER some public tokenizing and horse trading, President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team crowned dairy industry lobbyist and former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to lead the Department of Agriculture. Vilsack won out over House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn’s pick, Rep. Marcia Fudge, who was also backed by progressives. Whereas Fudge represented an opportunity to unite the USDA’s rural and urban constituents and address the agency’s long history of racial discrimination, Vilsack is a rerun of pro-corporate policies that continue to drive rural communities away from the Democratic Party.

And that's the one that you libeled me for posting when I merely quoted RF who posted it first.
If democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?
And when Biden* fails to keep his promises - or even promote them - I'll be happy to laugh at his skinny saggy ass parading all over town in his New Clothes™.

Deb Haaland will be Secretary of the Interior in Joe Biden's cabinet, which is good news. The pick has been praised by AOC, and Haaland is a supporter of Medicare for All and a Green New Deal. This is a sign that while Biden is still kinda lame, he will have moments of success. Trump would never appoint someone who actually cares about the environment. Good for this Congresswoman from New Mexico!

Biden and lawmakers raise alarms over cybersecurity breach amid Trump’s silence
Democrats and some Republicans raised the alarm Thursday about a massive and growing cybersecurity breach that many experts blame on Russia, with President-elect Joe Biden implicitly criticizing the Trump administration for allowing the hacking attack to occur.
“We need to disrupt and deter our adversaries from undertaking significant cyber attacks in the first place,” Biden said in a statement. “Our adversaries should know that, as president, I will not stand idly by in the face of cyber assaults on our nation.”
President Trump, by contrast, has said nothing

Betsy DeVos Warns That Biden Will Pick Education Secretary with Background in Education

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling the prospect a “nightmare scenario,” Betsy DeVos warned
that President-elect Joe Biden will pick an Education Secretary with a background in education.
The outgoing Education Secretary warned that putting someone with a “pro-education bias”
in her job would be like “naming a fox to be Secretary of Hens.”
“For the past four years, I have worked tirelessly to keep our schools free from education,”
she said. “It deeply saddens me to think that all of my hard work will go to waste.”
Even more alarming, she said, Biden may name a “knowledgeable person” to replace her,
a decision she called “disastrous.”
“In order to be impartial toward education, an Education Secretary must be as ignorant
as possible,” she said. “I don’t mean to boast, but I am going to be a tough act to follow in that respect.”
In total, she said, Biden’s plans for education may be the “most radical aspect” of the Democratic
Party agenda. “Forget about defunding the police,” she said. “He is talking about funding the schools.”

Pentagon halts Biden transition briefings
https://www.axios.com/pentagon-biden-transition-briefings-123a9658-4af
1-4632-a6e6-770117784d60.html
Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.
The latest: Biden transition director Yohannes Abraham contradicted the Pentagon's official response to this story on Friday afternoon, telling reporters, "Let me be clear: there was no mutually agreed upon holiday break."
"In fact, we think it’s important that briefings and other engagements continue during this period as there’s no time to spare, and that’s particularly true in the aftermath of ascertainment delay," Abraham continued, referring to the Trump administration's delay in recognizing Biden as president-elect.
Miller had said in a statement following the publication of this story: "At no time has the Department cancelled or declined any interview. ... After the mutually-agreed upon holiday, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today."
Behind the scenes: Trump administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved.
Why it matters: Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration.
Fury at the Biden team among senior Pentagon officials escalated after the Washington Post published a story on Wednesday night revealing how much money would be saved if Biden halted construction of Trump's border wall.
Trump officials blame the leak on the Biden transition team (Though, it should be noted, they have no evidence of this, and both reporters on the byline cover the Trump administration and have historically been prolific beneficiaries of leaks.)
What happened: Meetings between President Trump's team and the Biden team are going on throughout the government, after a delayed start as the administration dragged its feet on officially recognizing Biden as president-elect.
Then on Thursday night, Miller — who was appointed Nov. 9, when Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper right after the election — ordered officials throughout the building to cancel scheduled transition meetings.

Sounds like they got some shit to cover up.
Hmmm, right after one of the worst cyberattacks in our history that nobody is talking about, Trump’s hatred of losing, his love of Putin, his firing the top Pentagon official last month, William Barr quitting - nah, surely Trump and Putin aren’t planning something big that they need to hide from Biden.
Flynn saying that trump should declare Martial Law, let the Military take over and have another election.
Suddenly a Military coup doesn't seem that far off. It'll make for an interesting mini-series in 10 years if the country survives.
You think these guys are going to just give up and let the DOJ come after them for conspiring with Russia to commit terrorism against America?
The GOP has no choice but to attempt civil war or a load of the GOP will be in Leavenworth.

Biden Selects Miguel Cardona for Education Secretary
https://www.usnews.com/news/elections/articles/2020-12-22/joe-biden-ch
ooses-miguel-cardona-for-education-secretary
Cardona, if confirmed, would take the reins of the Education Department from Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who over the course of her four-year tenure locked horns with public schools and educators in a largely failed pursuit of expanding school choice – the Trump administration's No. 1 education agenda.
Instead, her most notable achievements include rolling back and rewriting Obama-era guidance and regulations, including those aimed at protecting the rights of transgender students and survivors of campus sexual assault through Title IX. She also revoked higher education regulations aimed at curbing bad actors in the for-profit college sector and discharging student loan debt for borrowers they defrauded, as well as nixed school discipline guidance aimed at stemming the school-to-prison pipeline for students of color – a controversial move that ignited the civil rights community and resulted in one member of Congress calling for her resignation.
Biden's education agenda amounts to a total about face, with early plans to reinstate much of the Obama-era regulatory landscape, as well as push Congress to support an historic infusion of federal dollars into K-12 by tripling funding Title I for poor students and IDEA for students with disabilities, establishing universal pre-kindergarten, boosting teacher salaries and hiring more support staff, like school nurses, counselors and librarians.
