President Kamala Harris should make every effort to keep Joe Biden’s Cabinet superstars

— Energy Secretary Jennifer #Granholm,
Commerce Secretary Gina #Raimondo and
Transportation Secretary Pete #Buttigieg

— as she assembles her own team.

⚠️At the Justice Department, however, she will need someone far more aggressive and politically astute than the current attorney general

— perhaps former acting attorney general Sally Q. #Yates or North Carolina Gov. Roy #Cooper, a former state attorney general who, by then, will be out of office.

Harris also should make every effort to find one or more Republicans who can reinforce the bipartisan coalition she is assembling.

Adam #Kinzinger for Veterans Affairs would make sense,
with Liz #Cheney perhaps at the FBI or in a top ambassadorship

How Kamala Harris can improve on Biden’s White House

On personnel, policy and communications strategy, Harris has the opportunity to do Biden one better.

Chief #CleanEnergyGrifter #granholm spewing her #NuclearBullshit at any fool who will listen to her. Her arguments, along with the legions of #NuclearGrifters out there, are the epitome of #NuclearMadness. Don't buy any of it. #JustSayNO. #Ratepayers should give them a swift kick in the ass and send them packing.

White House announces $3.5 billion for strengthening electric grids - Political IQ

The Biden Administration on Wednesday announced $3.5 billion for 58 projects to strengthen electric grids across the U.S.

Political IQ

#SmokeAndMirrors by #Granholm and #DOE: Direct air capture increases carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution.

$1.2B is a #subsidy for #AcceleratingKeelingCurve so the #fossilfuel industry can continue creating #climaterefugees with fires floods and extreme heat and stoke the far right to #FoamAtTheMouth.
