At funder for @jwaldstreicher, @LaborSec calls @LarryHogan 'a 1-term governor.' But Perez, who can excite a Dem crowd, won't be running.

I’d been avoiding this news until I looked for your cat pictures. I’d thought he’d anoint her as LaborSec. I guess he wants her to dismantle the agency?

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

The poor interviewer is just stunned at the double speak. This LaborSec is delusional. She is NOT hearing what this union is saying. At all.

CNN: I want to share the concern of dock workers. The Int'l Longshore and Warehouse Union released a statement saying trade policies shouldn't be dictated by "a president's whims"
CHAVEZ-DeREMER: That quote sounded exactly in line with the president
CNN: They're criticizing him
