Republicans confirm Trump’s divisive choice to lead the Social Security Administration Frank Bisignano gave his critics plenty of material to work with. Republicans confirmed him as the new Social Security Administration commissioner anyway.

OPINION by @stevebenen.com:

β€œThe final tally in the Senate was 53-47, falling neatly along party lines: Literally every Republican in the chamber voted to confirm Bisignano, and literally every Democratic senator voted against him.”

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

"In just two months [Trump] has destroyed the reputation of the US, shown one way by diminished travel from the EU to the US. This is not only one more terrible blow to the US economy, it also represents reputation damage that could take generations to repair.”
