femmocrat's JournalFour confirmation hearings are now delayed:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/politics/donald-trump-cabinet-nominations.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=curWilbur Ross, Mr. Trumps pick for secretary of commerce, will also be delayed several days because his ethics agreement is not complete, according to the chairman and ranking Democrat of the commerce committee.
The delays represent a stumble for the incoming Trump administration, which has vowed to run government with a businesslike efficiency, and highlights how in several respects its preparation to take office is behind that of predecessors.

Have you heard about the new site, "Crooked Media"?
Looks promising! https://getcrookedmedia.com
On Monday, the three are launching Crooked Media, a political website that makes no bones about its opposition to the incoming president, and is designed as a place to talk about politics that informs, entertains, and inspires action. Targeting Americans dismayed by Trumps election, the former spokespeople and speechwriters are aiming to go around traditional media to reach young Democratic supporters.

I would like to know this, too.
I have been wracking my brains, trying to think of a good progressive in a safe seat, or in his or her final term, who could have shown some courage.
From now on when I see one of these feckless senators getting on a (twitter or FB) soapbox, my reply will be, "You could have stood against trump on Jan. 6 and you did not."
I do understand that according to the process, it would not have produced a different final result, but the required debate could have been informative for future historians. And it would have shown that senator to be a true patriot and person of principle.

Is anyone else watching the Senate Intel hearing on CNN?
I have been watching since 10 am. Really interesting! I'm waiting to hear Sen. Warren.
Schumer is making an anti-trump speech on the Senate floor. (1 p.m. ET)
Saying dems will hold his feet to the fire, etc. Sounds like Schumer is ready to take him on.
Happy New Year's Google Doodle: It's 2017.
From Google:
Was anyone awake when it changed over? I wonder if there was a balloon drop?
Happy New Year, Loungers! May it be a better year for us all.
