Well, Friday evening just got a whole lot more exciting, with the latest announcement of a major role in President Donald Trump 47's administration. The president-elect wrote in a statement, picking Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR):
I am proud to hereby nominate Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer, from the Great State of Oregon, as United States Secretary of Labor.

We were spared the worst on Election Day but my enthusiasm is dimming for all things government-related at this point.
“ANOTHER from the House?”
My first thought, too. How thin is the margin now?
He must think he can get more done with good people in critical cabinet positions than he can through the house. I hope he is right.
!!!!ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!
Are many of these just rewards for endorsing Trump???? How thin of a GOP majority in the House does Trump want????
“Donald Trump Drops Major Cabinet Nom”
Who did he drop? Gaetz is already gone. Why would Trump drop somebody after picking them?
(just kidding...I HATE modern language perversions and repurposing of words. The headline writer could written “Trump reveals” or “Trump announces” or “Trump makes another cabinet pic,” etc, but no, it’s “Trump DROPS”. Grrrr)
Former congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer
Jeez... I don’t understand this...
Does she currently hold office?
No....Her term ends Jan 3 2025. She lost the re-election.
She did not win re-election. No loss.
“Does she currently hold office?”
She lost her election. Her term ends on 1/1/25.

Was her appointment supported by the president of the Teamsters’s Union?
OK, so no lost House seat.
Someone just said she is a former congress critter.
I always deeply appreciate seeing someone else who is bothered by sloppy English. This tendency to accept all variants, regardless of spelling or grammar drives me batty. I’m remembering YEARS of homework memorizing rules of grammar and vocabulary and then read stuff today that makes my back shiver. Yes, I know, but even with my elderly brain I still know how to check the spelling of a word I’m about to use before I put it down. Even though I, too, let my own fair share of mistakes through. But when I do, I’m embarrassed.
Many thanks for the clarification. Didn’t know that. Reassuring.
Very narrow loss—but her win in 2022 had been very narrow also.
Well, she was the incumbent, so the DEMs flipped that seat. It was a loss for the GOP.
Chavez-Deremer lost her re-election bid for the Oregon 5th District, so she isn’t subtracting from the Republican House majority.
Pathetic pick. Harris must be Joyful!
From the WSJ
“Hard to believe, but Donald Trump on Friday night nominated a favorite of teachers union chief Randi Weingarten as his Labor Secretary. Why would Mr. Trump want to empower labor bosses who oppose his economic agenda and spent masses to defeat him? “
She is that bad and more. If the GOPe wants to do MAGA a favor, block this one.
