Yesterday’s House Appropriations hearing on the Labor Department’s FY 2019 budget was a fairly low key — mostly boring — rendition of how well Alex Acosta thinks things are going in Trump’s Department of Labor. I had intended to “live tweet” the hearing, but the Committee’s website was having “technical difficulties.” Rebecca Rainey of Inside OSHA, was present at the hearing, however, and thanks to the miracle of Twitter, live-tweeted the highlights, which I then retweeted with commentary (for those on my Twitter feed.)
