Barry Myers is a NO for NOAA
Once again, Trump has nominated Barry Myers, a totally unqualified, wildly corrupt businessman accused of sexual harassment to lead a major climate change research agency. This is actually Myers THIRD time being nominated. But while the idea hasn’t gotten any better, the Senate is rushing his nomination through without so much as a committee hearing …
It took a tornado in the Capitol to pass this disaster relief bill. Make sure Trump signs it
Earlier today, the Senate passed a disaster relief package that’s been held up for months by partisan bickering and Trump’s racism.

Trump’s Most Corrupt Nominee yet.
Trump has nominated David Bernhardt to run the Department of Interior, making him the latest in a line of corrupt former lobbyists nominated to regulate the industries they used to work for.
