After James Mattis attempted to resign on principle, Donald Trump announced this morning that his departure would be effectively immediate rather than with a transition period.

Direct from the horse:

I am pleased to announce that our very talented Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will assume the title of Acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019. Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as Deputy, & previously Boeing. He will be great!

Just wondering: do the Dems in Congress have enough oomph and backing to manage to tack in a rider on any privatization legislation that simply removes the cap on FICA? Read More

Seems to me that it might be a good idea to add pings to blo.gs, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, etc. into the Scoop code for the site - I don't know how many folks are using those services to track when content has changed, but aren't they also used for blogrolls that show when content has changed? As far as a lot of folks are concerned, it's quite possible that dKos has simply stopped updating.

Details on the format to use for the XML-RPC pings is available here.
