Big scoop here from @mbieseck Official says Pruitt flew first class when on taxpayer dime but coach (+security) when he footed the bill. Undermines the flying first class for security argument a bit.Link to tweet

Pruitt will just be replaced by another GOP apparatchik climate change denier.
Theres a lot of republicans willing to be paid by big oil to lie about science.
But if Pruitt goes, at least there will be some disorganization at the EPA. Chaos, even if temporary, is better than organized destruction of environmental protections.

This would be a huge scandal if it had been a Democrat being caught be Republicans.
Hope the Dems will make the stink it deserves.

The most galling conduct was demoting the guy who refused to use emergency lights and siren to get Pruitt to a restaurant.
