Scalia spawn nominated (by tweet) for Labor Secretary

The thugs will be invoking St. Fat Tony much as they invoke St. Ronnie.

Worked tirelessly for Walmart to prevent giving adequate healthcare to its employees in Maryland. Strike one.

Served as 'special' assistant to Barr. Strike two.

Has worked to destroy Dodd-Frank after economic collapse in 2008 so Bigly Banks can go back to doing what they were doing. Strike three.

That after a cursory search on google. Anyone who joins Trumpco at this point is highly suspect. They are joining a criminal enterprise. That's what happens when you don't hold anyone (rich) accountable for anything.

BTW - he wrote many articles criticizing ergonomics - so he had to be recess appointed by W to labor department. His firm also represented W in Bush v Gore. Strike four and five.

/rant off.
