Moms for Liberty co-founder floated for Education Secretary

Tiffany Justice is rumored to be in the running for the Cabinet post.

Another pick running through the rumor mill: Tiffany Justice for Education Secretary.


Justice is the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a Florida-grown conservative organization that rose to prominence for spearheading the book ban zeitgeist of the post-pandemic era and employing “groomer” rhetoric during debates over culture war school legislation, such as Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.


The prospect of a Secretary Justice is likely to trigger Democrats; there is little they can do outside of a filibuster to stymie the pick — when the next Congress is sworn in, the GOP will control at least 51 seats, and the Governors who will appoint Rubio’s and incoming Vice President JD Vance’s replacements are both Republicans.



Among the early arguments against Justice, the foremost is her lack of a college degree, which may be met with criticism from one or two moderate Republican Senators but is unlikely to push any into the “nay” camp.

Fetterman knows very well from running against him that whatever genuinely impressive medical accomplishments Dr. Oz had in the past, he devolved into a kooky snake oil salesman. So "as long as he promises..." is taking the moderate bipartisan shtick a little far.

The convenient thing about making up completely imaginary problems like immigrants eating dogs, Sharia law in Ohio, schools doing gender reassignment surgery without parental permission, or teachers berating kids for being straight is that Republicans can say all these problems disappeared after Trump takes office, and then give credit to Trump.

Yes I believe that was the intention. Well, that and scaring people into voting for him in the first place.

Hopefully his exit from Congress is permanent, but that'll probably just turn into a monkey paw's wish thing where he goes onto something bigger.

The last sentence of Trump's statement about it. "Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!"

Donald, you are a gross old man.

He may be on his best course though. I think he could still un-resign, but if he does they'll be releasing that report. And coming back right after being roundly rejected is kind of a loser move. Not that he wouldn't do a loser move, but...

Edit - Rubio is going into the Cabinet, right? So DeSantis could make him a Senator.

I wonder if there are any maverick Republicans who were excited at the prospect of making Gaetz the one and only appointment they voted down, to demonstrate to the public that there's one line they wouldn't cross. I wonder what they plan to do now. Actually vote their conscience on all of them?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

It's actually not THAT uncommon: specifically; those republicans have to be on the way out anyway, so they can flip their party mates the bird on the way out door. Conscience doesn't mean dick to republicans, but ******* over people for spite goes a long way.
