Whatever. Trump’s nominees as frogs.
Reimagining the incoming clown car cabinet as slimy amphibians may not be such a stretch. Plus: a Sequencer giveaway
President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time announcing the nominees to fill the cabinet for his upcoming term. Catastrophic climate change and crises of public health — from vaccine hesitancy and reproductive care to looming avian influenza outbreaks — have raised the stakes of the next four years. However, as expected, the incoming administration shows little concern for our long-term well-being. What can I say about these people that hasn't already been said? Either you're supportive of peace and public health or you're not.
For lack of anything else to say here, I’ve turned them into frogs. Enjoy.

Marco Rubio: the northern glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni)
Like other glassfrogs, this little guy camouflages with translucent skin. He has adapted to shed any semblance of personality in order to survive amid the other predators around him. Glassfrogs become transparent by diverting almost 90% of their blood into the liver while sleeping. This guy isn't particularly unique — there are about 160 other glassfrog species. But he is among the most transparent, and he’s just happy that we’re talking about him.
