Way down on my list of worries but probably a pretty effective way to make him look bad to his economically anxious fans

I doubt Obama even had Netflix

One of those dumb Facebook articles had an "at least he isn't taking vacations on the taxpayer's dime like that Muslim" comment. You couldn't pay me enough to get in a back and forth on one of those, but for the first time I almost felt like it.

According to the Hill, Democrats asked Pruitt for the documents as part of his confirmation hearing, but he declined. Instead, he told them to file public records requests themselves.

Pruitt’s office has until Tuesday to release the emails, but his confirmation vote was originally believed to be held on Friday, Feb. 17.

While Rex Tillerson is on his first overseas trip as Secretary of State, his aides laid off staff at the State Department on Thursday.

Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed.

These staffers in particular are often the conduit between the secretary’s office to the country bureaus, where the regional expertise is centered. Inside the State Department, some officials fear that this is a politically-minded purge that cuts out much-needed expertise from the policy-making, rather than simply reorganizing the bureaucracy.

There are clear signals being sent that many key foreign policy portfolios will be controlled directly by the White House, rather than through the professional diplomats.
