Weekend Report: What's happening?

Trump's Defense Dept. pick has white supremacist tattoos, was flagged as "threat" in military. Global health experts alarmed by RFK. Should Biden be warning Americans every day of what's to come?

Donald Trump’s cabinet picks this week showed the chaos and destruction he’s hellbent on. Matt Gaetz as attorney general. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence. And Pete Hegseth, the Fox News pundit and an Army National Guard veteran, as Pentagon chief. Fellow service members flagged Hegseth as a possible “Insider Threat” due to a white supremacist tattoo on his bicep. And a sexual misconduct allegation has the Trump team reportedly suddenly pulling back.

Trump’s choice of RFK Jr., an anti-vaxxer who believes chemicals in our water supply make people gay or transgender—in addition to believing in a whole bunch of other conspiracy theories—is alarming health authorities around the world.

President Biden invited Trump to the White House—something Trump of course didn’t do with Biden in 2020, when he falsely claimed election fraud and eventually incited an attack on the Capitol—in an effort to show the peaceful transfer of power. I get this, but should Biden—who didn’t run against Trump and didn’t lose to him—be doing what he can to sound the alarm and protect democracy, including being vocal to the American people about Trump’s actions so far?
