I’m doing this as a public service for all of you who attended the Trump rally and chanted “Send her back.” You may have missed the following news in all the excitement of seeing your idol in action.
Defense Department: Mark Esper, Trump’s pick to head the Department, told the Senate Armed Services Committee, “I see the big picture.” Mr. Esper’s last job was top lobbyist for Raytheon, a big defense contractor. Mr. Esper is asking for an exception to ethics obligations. He would like to be involved in decisions that could benefit Raytheon.
Environmental Protection Agency: The Government Accountability Office issued a report on the E.P.A.’s dismissal of academic members of advisory boards and their replacement by industry flacks. The GAO said the EPA broke governmental rules.
Labor Department: The replacement for Mr. Acosta, a.k.a. “the pedophile enabler,” is Patrick Pizzella, a lobbyist for business interests who fought organized labor. Mr. Pizzella will head the Department that is supposed to ensure worker rights.
And yes, I have citations for all of these items. I do not make this stuff up.
