http://www.shadowingtrump.org@ShadowingTrump brings together 18 policy experts into a Shadow Cabinet that debunks Trump & his Cabinet when they dont lead but mislead. Sort of an online Justice League only instead of superheroes, were scholars, advocates and former public officials.
While President Trump of course has legal legitimacy to be president, he lacks moral legitimacy when he incessantly fabricates, distorts, denounces, misdirects, cherry-picks & self-enriches in an almost Orwellian long con. Those engaging in daily disinformation deserve daily responses.
@ShadowingTrump will be a comprehensive, one-stop portal of Citizen Secretaries who will comment agency-by-agency not just on small lies but especially on false narratives in the service of political ends on issues both in headlines and within the bureaucracy.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

(17,021 posts)1. Thanks for posting!
I'm not familiar with a lot of the members but their backgrounds look very impressive. Too bad the real cabinet isn't as equally talented.

Robert Reich, Laurence Tribe, Michael Mann, David Cay Johnston, Diane Ravitch, Joan Claybrook, S. David Freeman, Steffie Woolhandler, David Himmelstein, Heather Hurlburt are all top drawer in their fields.
I am not familiar with the others, but they look good, too.
I mean, they even have Michael Mann!!! He's the one who published the "hockey stick graph" on global warming. A climate scientist in a cabinet!!! Now there's a good idea.
