I'd like to see Susan Rice as secretary of state, though the confirmation might turn into a circus. Samantha Power would be another good choice.

Chief of Staff - Karen Bass

HHS - Julian Castro again

Treasury - Maybe Paul Krugman? I don't really know a lot of potentials. It would be nice to see someone not coming from a big bank.

AG - Stacy Abrams

Others, I dunno.

Pete could do Veterans Affairs nicely.

No one contentious will get through easily.

Julian Castro somewhere for sure.

Vermont is safely blue, yes. What if they tapped Bernie for something. I’d love a new Senator in there, someone younger.

Ahhhh, shit. An acquaintance on FB seems to be sliding down a Democratic-election-fraud rabbit hole. She is aghast that I don't already know that they've been blatantly violating federal law for months now and deeply concerned about my gaps in knowledge and my inability to step out of my partisan shoes and have the courage to look for the truth.

She's not someone I know well, but even so, based on what little I do know, I'm croggled. Ex San Franciscan, queer, dealing with multiple mental and physical chronic illnesses, living in a very isolated part of the country--in every possible way, someone in whose life and safety the GOP has less than no interest, for whom they have nothing but contempt.

Though I guess it speaks to just how hermetically-sealed a bubble I've been living in, that after four years of the current occupant this is the first person I personally know with whom I've had any first-hand interactions spouting this (I have an aunt and uncle who may have similar feelings, but one of them hasn't spoken to me in at least five years and the other hasn't said anything about politics or news events in the last couple of years).

My work team is arranging a not-on-the-clock virtual happy hour/airing of grievances. I'm glad someone else has taken point on that, because I sure didn't want to organize anything. At least we will be able to find out whether we are all mad about the same stuff, whether there's anything to be done about it or not.

Hillary Clinton for Chief of Staff

Turns out I'm not the only one suggesting they check DJT's luggage before he's evicted ... and his kids' (I've said to count the spoons, but I think he'd be going for more ... like those silver statuettes he snagged from the ambassador to France). Although, considering his penchant for gold, he might latch on to any gold-plated anything that's not nailed down.

Why do you think they rolled the moving truck up yesterday?

JZ, would she be willing to watch some of the hearings that have already been happening? Maybe watching multiple judges in multiple states tell the Trump campaign "Please stop wasting my time with this bullshit" would have more of an impact.

No one contentious will get through easily.

"Acting" appointments for all. It is the new normal, right?
