The incoming president's first big achievement. Assembling arguably the worst cabinet in history. Enjoy your dog and pony show today. I'm sure Drump will say it's the biggest crowd ever for an inauguration, which will be yet another in the endless trail of falsehoods he's promoted.

But don’t worry — he has recently become aware that his job will not in fact consist of traveling around the world telling people how great oil is. “After being briefed on so many of the vital functions of the Department of Energy,” Perry now says, “I regret recommending its elimination."
"Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury: Mnuchin has never served in government and has no experience in setting macroeconomic policy, but he did lead Donald Trump’s fundraising effort. In advance of his confirmation hearing, Mnuchin “
failed to disclose his interests in a Cayman Islands corporation as well as more than $100 million in personal assets.”
"Scott Pruitt, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency:..As Attorney General of Oklahoma, he sued the EPA multiple times over its efforts to enforce environmental laws. In his confirmation hearings, he refused to commit to recuse himself from the cases among those that are still open,
in the apparent belief that there isn’t anything wrong with essentially being both plaintiff and defendant in a lawsuit. When asked about lead poisoning, a vital and longstanding environmental issue that gained new urgency with the poisoning of the water in Flint, MI, he said that he had “not looked at the scientific research on that.”
