Katherine Tai is Trade Rep, a fantastic choice.

New blood! Yay

AG down to Jones, Yates, Patrick, and Garland. I would prefer they fight for Yates, but any of them would be very good.

Ugh I want Fudge to stay in the House so Nina Turner doesn’t run for her seat.

And there it is.

Yes, very happy to read this. A few weeks ago I read Rahm Emanuel was under consideration too, and I was not happy. Biden made a wise choice here.

Anything saying that Rahm Emanuel is under consideration for anything is coming from Rahm Emanuel.

Yeah, its funny because I am not sure who actually likes Rahm Emmanuel. No matter what your views are, you can find issues with him. Well except maybe if your a wall street executive.

He's the worst, hope this administration doesn't touch him with a 10ft pole.

Well that would season him right up! Seriously, wouldn't want one of our very most experienced people assigned to this gig?

Or let's at least troll the Chinese with a pick from the tech industry. This appointment is out of Mayor Pete's league.

+1 Give Mayor Peter Germany fhs.

He'll do better than Governor Soybeans.

They can pronounce his name and he would enjoy the scene.

Jeh Johnson says he won't be serving in the Biden administration. Guess he's not on the table for AG, which I'm happy about.

And, we were scolded here when we said a Biden presidency would be an Obama third term.

Biden wasn’t my 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 choice. But I’ve seen his platform shift dramatically to the left since April. Especially on Climate and racial justice. We need experienced folks who have been confirmed. Let’s work on building a progressive bench in state governments and have Joe’s back. The only way we get through this is by standing in solitary. Yes critique but let’s not start the circular firing squad just yet.
