While I mean no ill to anyone, I can't help but consider that with this, and then if Hegseth gets the boot, too, Trump may just get really angry. Really, he ought to be very careful, because strong emotions in the elderly obese can lead to unfortunate medical consequences!
Just saw this! Like you, I'd call it "good news" except I bet Trump knows even worse people he could call on. He's the type to know some real low-lifes.
Too bad. Senators aren't elected to "obey" the President. That makes the President, effectively, a king. Or if you prefer, a dictator, since I know Americans are allergic to kings.
That, as I understand it, was NOT what the Framers intended.
You know, when I think about it, I have to ask, "why is this even a question?"
What is it that makes us think that, this time, for this incoming administration, the Senate (with or without the help of the House) should voluntarily give up it's Constitutional Duty of advise and consent?

It's actually quite interesting that so many of his picks for important posts are TV & media "personalities." As someone unaccustomed to reading more than 7 words in succession, and who doesn't like boring briefing sessions (which, though "brief" are still too long for him without some...
The reasons that he still holds that claim, however, suggest you would not want to take your sick kids to see him.
Nor, therefore, to hand him authority over anything medical in the United States. Unless, of course, you harbor a secret death wish...
@Clizby Wampuscat, I wish you could see what's really happening.
Do you know how to boil the ocean? I'll tell you -- one pot at a time. Nothing you can do will boil it all at once.
Republicans, and Donald Trump, are now trying to change EVERYTHING about your nation. They're almost literally...
You understand me so little.
I wish you would ask yourself this question: "what happens when the most powerful nation on earth suddenly decides to replace its government with the most amateurish, comical and unprepared administration in history?"
Because that question is important! What Trump...
You call it about making "an insult to Trump." I call it, "exposing Trump for what he is."
And no, I'm coping nicely, thank you. I don't live in a place where a whole law is being proposed to ban someone, who happens to be trans, legitimately elected from using Congressional bathrooms she...
Trump is picking choices that appear, too frequently, bizarre. Unless you now go and take a real look at Project 2025. If you do that, you will see with great clarity that Trump has every intention of implementing as much of it as possible -- even though, of course, he's never heard of it, has...
Actually, it doesn't quite meet the definition of exoneration, because the reason could be the difficulty in the credibility of two key witnesses or a lack of direct evidence implicating Gaetz. And yet, if the House Ethics Committee has found information that speaks to the ethical character of...
...for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator.
Ah, well. He once really was a doctor, and as an "administrator" I don't suppose he can do a lot of harm.
But I don't like the look of America's healthcare going forward, between him and RFK, Jr.
