The presidential election was called fairly quickly this year, launching President-elect Donald Trump’s team into transition mode within hours of the polls closing.
Staffers are reportedly trying to iron out the people and policies that will shape Trump’s second White House term. That includes quickly starting the process to vet candidates for posts in his Cabinet and broader administration.
We know some names that Trump touted on the campaign trail: RFK Jr., among them, who was suggested as the possible head of a range of agencies dealing with food, chemicals and medicine.

Cat pic for everyone’s blood pressure. Our son’s cat, Meowaslot, tries out a new seat cushion. (Black cats shed on light colored furniture; white cats on dark. It’s a law, apparently.)
Here we go again. The GOP will take a wrecking ball to everything, and maybe a future Dem administration can rebuild.
In 2017 Trump inherited the Obama economy, which took many years to create after George W. Bush cratered it. Trump left office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover.
President Biden had to contend with Republican sabotage, but he somehow got us out of the pandemic. Our death rate was higher than the rest of the world but the upside was the economy came back faster.
Now the wrecking crew is set to return.
Biden should provide the trump transition the same courtesy trump provided them four years ago.
Biden made the required speech today. I assume he is expecting the the incoming administration will try to indict him on X (maybe border stuff?), so no f’s let, eh.
I would really like to see him go out with a bang.
Do not go quietly in to the night, Joe! 9and Kamala)
Also agree the media environment the billionaires have built will be hard to compete with and clearly we must although it may not be possible to do so quickly
And I would dearly like to know why more than 10MM Biden voters did not show up for Harris; judging by the downballot races, many of them didn’t show up for anyone.
