lonna som iemers, i want to bri you in. it's continuing news as we continue with the resignation of the secretary of the department of labor. lonna, there's a new acting position in the president's cabinet. >> they both are incredibly significant. you heard the president in that stunning 30 minutes on the south lawn actually name check alex acosta's heritage and say that, you know, maybe a harvard, that may have made things harder on hip. but i want to focus on your second question. there's this long list of officials. these are folks who have not gone through the senate confirmation process who have not had the ability to be questioned about their record, which is an important part of the senate's role as checks and balances which is missing. and the trump administration there is something that the president is clearly comfortable to continue to do, to allow them to go on for months in in many cases in these acting roles. it will be curious to see just how swiftly he replaces acosta as he's headed out the door next week. >
