    I just really am amazed that EPA public affairs would say this about agency employees. Five of them, one if whom came from Trump campaign, others who have worked at EPA for decades.

    Eye-popping detail. Pruitt upped his security detail to 20 people & wanted sirens on his motorcade to get to his favorite French restaurant. Not to mention a $43,000 soundproof booth.

    Thank you, , for letting me write up a little essay on "This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order" for the Big Idea feature at "Whatever." I take back all those things I said about you, except the stuff about burritos.
