The emotion in Secretary Haaland's voice as she...

[3catwoman3]

…introduced President Biden as he prepared to sign the documents restoring the protection of the 3 national monuments was so moving. Her choked-up voice made my own throat tighten and my own eyes moisten.

I’m so glad President Biden chose her for Secretary of the Interior. She’s magnificent.

10. Yes she is!

Would that we had many more just like her in public office.

12. I was walking around and listening with one ear

I caught that. Very moving. I also loved the story about the little girl who made Biden promise to protect Bear's Ear.

15. That was a delightful story.

I wish I could hear it again.

13. I noticed that, too.

It felt almost like the reaction of someone who recognized that somebody FINALLY heard her plea.

18. Can't help but think.....

as we're talking about Cabinet Secretaries - one of her predecessors - and his approach to his 'job.'

When 'some' people are angry and upset they tell people to 'get out - and the horse you rode in on!'

Ironically enough, that WAS how IQ45's first "Interior Secretary" made his entrance - and he couldn't stand the heat in the kitchen!
