*White House chief of staff told FDA chief [that] vaccine must be authorized Friday or he needs to resign.*

The corrupter ordered the head of the FDA to do something the latter might have been about to do anyway. Indeed, he did approve the vaccine on Friday, but now we have to wonder whether he approved it based on his best judgment, or set that judgment aside to obey the order. Whatever he says, the doubt will remain, and with it doubt about whether the vaccine was indeed ready to approve.

I think that is something the corrupter wants. The corrupter will now be able to simultaneously claim credit for the vaccine and sow distrust for it. His own followers probably won't take the vaccine anyway, since they believe Covid-19 is a fantasy.

The corrupter played a vicious trick on commissioner Hahn with that threat, since he will appear to have made a cowardly surrender whether he actually did so or not. But there is a way he can demonstrate that his approval of the vaccine was not influenced by the threat: to resign right away! This would win him the admiration of sane Americans.

The National Family Farm Coalition describes good and bad things that Vilsack did to family farms. It does not see him as a monster, but says he had better commit to protecting farmers against agribusiness.

Why not choose someone who will hustle to resist agribusines?

Vilsack tried to pass useful reforms in 2010, but dawdled till after the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives.

The Sunrise Movement rebuked Biden for choosing Vilsack rather than the progressive Rep. Marcia Fudge who has focused on agriculture policy in her career.

We're glad to see @RepMarciaFudge in the cabinet, but she lobbied to be the Ag. secretary It's insulting that, instead of a progressive black woman, @JoeBiden & @Transition46 chose Vilsack, who covered up racial discrimination last time he had the job.

The Congressional Budget Office studied the costs of Medicare for All and determined that it could cover everyone and cost $650 billion less annually than the existing US medical system.

*Biden will have White House disinfected after [the disease-spreader] leaves.*

It would not shock me if the disease-spreader were to smear infectious material in the White House specifically to make Biden and his team sick.

A Turk who has seen several coup attempts in her country warns Americans that the wrecker's coup attempt was a serious threat. With Republican imposed minority rule as a permanent base, the next one may succeed.
