Trump Taps Christian Nationalist Fox News host & military veteran Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon.

Will the farmers call off their protests and pay their taxes like everyone else else, or will they be comfortable standing shoulder to shoulder with the far right - the likes of Nick Griffin, Yaxley-Lennon supporters et al. Remember how many farmers had those big ‘Vote for Brexit’ hoardings on their land? Maybe the farmers really are part of the far right, but they didn’t want us to be fully aware of it?

Interview: Judith Enck: "Trump Taps Fossil Fuel Ally Lee Zeldin to Head EPA, Push Anti-Environmental Agenda”

Zeldin has a history of opposing critical environmental protections & clean energy job investments.

Trump is reportedly discussing moving the EPA outside D.C., which could lead to an exodus of staff & expertise from the agency.

"This is about terrorizing the career staff," said Enck.
