We will have more about this on the morrow, but suffice it to say that the nominee to head the EPA is currently suing the EPA for doing what the EPA is supposed to do. Via The Washington Post:

In a move signaling an assault on President Obama's climate change and environmental legacy, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Scott Pruitt, the attorney general of the oil and gas intensive state of Oklahoma, to head the Environmental Protection Agency.Pruitt has spent much of his energy as attorney general fighting the agency he is being nominated to lead. He is only the most recent of a series of Trump appointments who are adamantly opposed to existing laws in their own agencies.

This is, of course, insane.

And the Small Business Association is going to be run by a woman whose business depended on steroids and on her employees' never having health-care. From Reuters:

Trump said McMahon had helped the WWE grow from a 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees worldwide. Trump is a WWE Hall of Fame member.
