The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.

The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?

Suggestions ?

Expertise and credentials
In the ideal world, credentials would be awarded to all experts, and withdrawn from all charlatans. But they don't always line up as neatly as that. An expert is someone who can keep a promise. Point to the results that demonstrate your skill and understanding and commitment and we'll treat you as an expert. Credentials, on the other hand, are awarded to folks who are good at being awarded credentials.

Day after day, the WSJ edit page goes apoplectic over Trump’s terrible Cabinet nominees. It would be darkly funny, if the consequences weren’t so ominous.

You might be both. In big organizations, project management is a distinct skill. It involves timekeeping, record keeping and organization. The project manager knows the budget and the deadline, and ensures that constituents stay in sync. This is the construction coordinator and the movie producer. The product manager, on the other hand, makes decisions about features, scale and the final product.

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government.

A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.
