Just a Regular Bad Republican

As you know, I care about the Interior Department a lot. What it means to replace Deb Haaland with Doug Burgum is mostly terrible–another round of eviscerating national monuments, more opening of public lands to oil and gas drilling, once again not caring about the Tribes. But that has been the agenda of every Republican Secretary of the Interior since James Watt and Burgum is probably not worse than the average of these people. So in the big picture of the hell we face, this one is just more normal terrible than what we are seeing at AG or Defense or HHS.
