1. Three Quickies

1. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Monday that he will vote to confirm former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as secretary of state--just like we thought--because he is Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), "and this is exactly the kind of thing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) does."

2. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reportedly canceled a conference on climate change--which facilitates disease spread--pre-emptively to avoid clashing with Pres. Trump and then renamed itself the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Prevention to avoid clashing with disease.

3.The U.S. Senate Monday night confirmed that an advocate of torture has all the necessary qualifications to lead the C.I.A.

2. Word of the Day

floodite
fluh'•dight (noun)

Any executive officer whose initial torrent of unenlightened, backwards-thinking stupidity is so overwhelming it floods earnest, hard-working journalists, sending them down rabbit holes on random shit like USTR staffing levels when they SHOULD be including other shit in today's TFN like the Supreme Court's decision not to hear Texas's appeal on its voter-suppression law, the government bureaucrats who may be our last hope even though we don't deserve them for all the shitting we do on bureaucrats, Trump's first war kills, the hard-to-swallow shit coming out of fast-food clown Andy Puzder's nomination to head Labor and which should have inspired us to make lots of good jokes about how he ground people up or shat in the food workplace or something, Trump pledging tornado aid despite pledging to freeze government spending and hiring, the Republican members of Congress balking at spending cuts as they realize the money gets spent on their constituents, how the gig economy has Uber drivers Ubernating overnight in their cars, IBM joining the ranks of big companies making big noises about hiring while quietly Trumping workers off to the unemployment line, the alarming spike in cervical-cancer rates right as the GOP is set to repeal the preventive care that can catch it, and oh year how the United Kingdom MIGHT have fired an unarmed nuke at Florida but now promises never to do it again unless it's actually armed this time.
Ex. "Hey, you gonna get everything you want into tomorrow's TFN? It's not like a fraction of this shit is getting onto TV, you know. They've gotta debate Sean Spicer's body language."
"God damn this fucking floodite president."

6. Transparency should be on your Daily Planner

Call, email, write your Congressmen/women/Senators on the issue
of Transparency.

We pay for this government. We deserve to know what it's doing.

Rushing through Cabinet apppointments is not transparency.

Gagging the EPA is not transparency.

Cancelling scientific conferences is not transparency.

Gutting 50 years of legislated, negotiated, and prudent regulation
with the stroke of a pen because one person without governing
experience says so is not transparency.

Time for Congress to step up and do their jobs for the people that
pay their bills!

7. Calling, tweeting and emailing

my senators and congressman. I've also gone after McCain, Graham, Cruz, Rubio and let them know hoe I truly feel about these criminals being put incharge of our lives.

It's like a 2nd job.
