Does the President have the power to appoint an acting secretary? Or is he required to follow the Department's succession plan until a new secretary is confirmed?

The loud man could, of course, follow the Constitutional process and ask Congress to set the tariffs.

The point of learning is to build our own brains. The building includes some specific information, but it also includes experience with major patterns of knowledge and reasoning. And the building only happens in OUR brains when WE, OURSELVES, put in the work.

Kristina. Kristina Soderquist's children all came to the US from Sweden and then convinced her to join them. She was my g-g-grandmother and the last immigrant in my background. I use my dad's family name as a middle name now, but I love having Kristina built into my identity.

I did that three years ago and my mom's doing it now. We know it's awful (and neither of us are raising kids)!

If your anemia can be helped by more iron, I'll share that that a trail mix of roasted pumpkin seeds, pistachios, raisins, and dark chocolate was my favorite way to pump up my intake.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Has this odd person ever met a state trooper? A sheriff? A police officer working a regular beat?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It was Trump's own post. Did Trump's own account take it down?

We have always lived here. The better place is ours to build, but it hasn’t ever been real yet.

Respectfully, the people of Springfield, Ohio, are bracing right now for the next round of attacks, this time with weapons and pepper spray.

Also, he's lying. People get on a path to citizenship by applying for green cards, not visas.

In the USA, government powers rest on the Constitution and on laws consistent with the Constitution. Your headline is untrue, ignorant, shameful, and tiresome.

I read this as β€œwhites…might as well just resign en masse,” and have to admit it’s a workable path forward.

He intends harm to the children I bore and to millions of others, and she stands proudly by his side. I wish the little one health and the strength to choose a better path than his parents.

Respectfully, I don’t agree with this amendment. Everyone white draws some benefits from the race-based structures of our society, and even those of us who see ourselves as advocating greater justice ask too often to be made more comfortable than we should be.

Cheerfully, the meme puts white comfort first deliberately for my fellow white women . Too many of us push too hard and too often to be cushioned from clarity about how we participate in race-based systems of privilege
