It is the field commanders that Trump presumably remained CIC over.
For the first time, the DOE will be led by someone from the energy sector.
Sounds like the perfect job description. Go Kash!

That's is what we voted for, good pick.
Can we just embrace the narrative and flip it back at them like the Trump garbage truck?
Let’s call the new administration Cheeto 47 and the Pussy Grabbers.
Apparently there is a way Trump can force the Senate into recess and then make recess appointments:

I hope he fucking does it.
War!
But yesterday on Truth Social, President Trump loudly appointed Brendan Carr as FCC Chairman. (On an aside, it’s deliciously ironic that, after getting Trump canceled from the other platforms, the media must now follow Trump on Truth Social where he is breaking all these official transition announcements.) Reuters reported the Carr story under the headline, “Trump taps Big Tech critic Carr to chair Federal Communications Commission.”
Long laboring under duress in the Commission’s minority during the last four years, Brendan Carr has been a fierce champion for free speech, especially in recognizing free speech rights even on private platforms, since they enjoy Section 230 liability immunity. He’s also pushed for the FCC to stop stubbornly and irrationally stonewalling Starlink’s approval as a national broadband supplier. He’s generally been a thorn in the five-member Commission’s side.
A Newsweek article about the Chair appointment described the first three areas on which Carr said he’d focus: ending the FCC’s promotion of D.E.I., dismantling social media’s “censorship cartel,” and “ensuring” broadcasters using public spectrum act in the public’s interest (apparently, that is a radical idea).
Brendan’s ability to act quickly may be limited by several factors: commissioners’ staggered five-year terms, the need for the Senate to approve any new appointments to the Committee, and constant, 300-decibel whining from captive media the whole time. It took Biden two and a half years to get a third Democrat appointed on the Commission. It all depends on how the terms run or whether someone quits.
Anyway, throughout the pandemic and after, Brendan has consistently been a champion for free speech, even back when that was unpopular. He’ll be a terrific FCC Chairman, and it’s about time.

I like my town but the amount of chlorine was what I put in a pool to keep it clear. Chlorine is bleach.
Water utilities don't use chlorine because it just evaporates. Yours is probably using chloramines which hang around a lot longer. I hate that shit and filter it from my drinking water and the water I use for me reef fish tank. That's not cheap.
Bleach is sodium hypochlorite: NaOCl
They all have a chlorine smell though and although I've never checked I wouldn't be surprised if all do give off chlorine gas to some extent. If you let bleach dry out though it just turns to table salt and oxygen.
The industrial waste story of fluoride is true.
