President-elect Joe Biden will pick former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to run the Energy Department, the agency that would play a key role in helping develop the technologies needed to fulfill his pledge to move the country off fossil fuels, according to people with knowledge of the decision.

Granholm, who served two terms as Michigan's governor, is experienced in dealing with the auto industry — a potentially big advantage as the new president seeks to speed the rollout of electric vehicles and the network of charging stations needed to power them.

Betrayal

These are all great and I loved the Randy Rainbow parody of Rudy. Can he just leave for Mar-a-lago and end this misery? He lost and on two fronts: the electoral college and the popular vote so he needs to just suck it up and leave.

Omg.

The MAGA meme!

A wonderful story from the Huffington Post:

A Washington state elector who has a terminal terminal health issue broke down in tears Monday after casting his vote for President-elect Joe Biden, telling a local media outlet that being an elector is part of making his time left "count."

Just days after his selection as an elector, 64-year-old Democrat Jack Arends was diagnosed with an inoperable heart valve issue, The Daily Herald reported.

A retired aviation industry analyst, Arends entered the floor of the state Senate in a wheelchair and wearing a brimmed cap reading "Play Nice." He took a less-than-subtle jab at Trump by bringing two Sharpie markers ― the president's writing tool of choice on several headline-making occasions ― to cast his vote for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Jack Arends holds up the Sharpie markers he used to cast his votes for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Arends became visibly emotional as he delivered brief remarks just moments later.

"Today is the chance to begin the end of the Trump administration," he said. "I was glad to do my duty and rid our nation of a petty dictator. Had he won a second term, there is no limit to the damage he could have done to the world."

Arends, who by then appeared to be holding back tears, concluded the speech by addressing his ailing condition.

"It was important for me to do this one thing that I could do while I still can," he said, before placing his head down on the desk. At that point, he was comforted by fellow elector Julian Wheeler, who placed a hand on his shoulder while the rest of the chamber applauded.

In an interview with the Everett Herald published Monday, Arends described his Electoral College duties as "one last box I want to check — I am determined to check it."

"I don't know how much time I am going to have on this earth," he said. "But I am going to make it count while I am here and that includes being an elector."

Responses defending Jill Biden after an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal suggested the incoming first lady "drop the 'Dr.'" before her name, even though she has a doctorate in education:

And proof the incoming administration will have a different approach than the current one, here’s Dr. jill Biden’s classy response:

I think the people in the Education Department (and all people involved in education) will be too busy celebrating the exit of DeVos (who bears a striking resemblance to Cruella DeVille.....in looks and in deeds) to do any resisting. Of all of Trump's horrible Cabinet picks, she is right up near the top!

DivineMrsM

Didn’t Trump seem to go out of his way to select people for cabinet positions who were absolutely the least qualified for those positions? I’m serious. It felt like he made a mockery out of the government by saying, oh, these jobs/positions are so meaningless, no knowledge or experience is required. Wasn’t Jared Kushner assigned to run some kind of pandemic response even though he had zero skills to do so? It always felt like Trump was hiring car mechanics and air conditioner repairmen to do open heart surgery procedures. Absolutely everyone was unqualified. On purpose.

As a teacher for many years and someone keenly aware of education law and policy, I can say with a high level of confidence that no one in the field of education will miss Cruella de Vos for even a nano-second.

In learning to embrace your being, don't look at your mistakes. It is a given that we will all make some mistakes in life. It is a given that you will make inappropriate choices for inappropriate reasons. They will in no way affect your worth. No matter what you say or do, nothing can minimize the worth of your being. Your worth is a gift from God. Your worth is a gift of grace. -Iyanla Vanzant
