Vivek had some personal perspective on the Springfield, OH immigrant issues because he lives right around there.

I did not know that. Interesting.

Noem for DHS.

Really?

Hope I'm proven wrong, but that's his first bad pick.

I agree. She's a lightweight, and I question her qualifications.

I can't imagine DeWIne picking Vivek, but maybe. Rubio has been announced as SecState. Surprising.

Mike Waltz - Florida congressman - will be National Security Advisor.

Florida should be safe enough for an election or Governor appointment.

Rumor?

He spent 10 years working for Soros. In fact he was part of the team that did the billion dollar bet against the GBP in the 90s.

I have to wonder what made President-Elect Trump announce that he's not considering Haley or Pompeo. Surely he could have declined, or told them they're not in the running in person.

To stop speculation?

I think he's still a little miffed with Haley. Pompeo? I thought he'd use him for something...Maybe he still will.

Remember that Pompeo’s statements post January 6th about Trump weren’t damning per se, but also didn’t paint Hlorious Leader in splendor…

Not to derail, but are the Dems trying to steal the Penn Senate seat?

Not cabinet, but Mike Huckabee was just named Ambassador to Israel.

Good choice.

Former DNI Director Ratcliffe will be CIA director.

It's funny how all the thoughtfulness of all the smart TDS sufferers eventually distill to just saying "He's Donald Trump".

[LuFins Dad]

He has a plan and he has things he wants to accomplish. I think he’s only counting on 2 years and he doesn’t want to go through 2 years like he did in the first administration.

Only two years of undivided government?

That tracks. Even beyond the normal anti-incumbent backlash they have an unfavorable map in 2026. Nate posted about it today.

What astounds me about Trump is his inability to stump and pull others across the finish line. I mean, all he would need to do is send a message… “Arizonans, if you’re voting for me, I also need you to vote for———- for Senate/Congress. No matter your personal opinions about the candidate, I can’t do what you want me to do without having a clear majority in Congress. A vote for me is wasted without ———-“ But he doesn’t do it. I don’t think he wants to admit he needs the others.
