I'm actually more pissed about the Haaland circus than Neera. Neera was always going to be an uphill battle. Is she qualified? Absolutely. Are the politics great? They are not.
The fury at Haaland is pure racism and mysoginy. For 4 years it was "The president gets to choose his nominees according to his values"

Gosh. I never thought Liz Cheney would be who I was rooting for. I hate upside down land.

It's "if we put an indigenous woman in this role, what if they start getting their land back. can't have that" I'm so infuriated and disgusted. And not remotely surprised.

The fury at Haaland is pure racism and mysoginy. For 4 years it was "The president gets to choose his nominees according to his values" I said it in the confirmation hearing thread, I will restate here
Most of them voted for Betsy Fucking DeVos. They literally have NO leg to stand on. Because if EVER a candidate was less qualified for a cabinet position it was her. And yet there was no super duper long hearing, there was no grilling, there was discussion about BEARS in classrooms. Also Ben Carson? Come ON.
Also lets talk about the judges they've ok'd in the senate for lifetime positions where the candidate had never sat on a bench or tried a case in the courtroom.
I'm VERY angry. I'm also avoiding news/hearings/briefings live mostly today.

Funny how being unemployed but still having to take care of children is not considered “work”. Except when fathers are “babysitting” their own offspring. HTH. For real, just give people money. Food, healthcare, housing: make it all affordable and predictable and people will spend money. And make corporations pay taxes for operating in our society. Do I sound like Bernie yet? This is so tiring to watch.

WTAF? Cruz and Cotton are proposing a $10/hour min wage and tying it to requirements to use e-verify. The min wage in AR is already $11/hour. Cotton can go suck an egg.

Fazili: we can't keep moving from crisis to crisis and scrambling when a supply chain issue occurs. The EO will utilize procurement authority and the administration is working with Congress to expand those authorities. Government will also communicate its findings with the private sector so they can plan for their own supply chain appropriately. This will enhance our scientific and innovation leadership. Bolster both research and manufacturing. Provide new opportunities for small business development. But this is not isolationism or economic nationalism.

The not being surprised part is so true. I would have been shocked if they weren't pulling this. Pleasantly so, but still shocked.
