The people behind the progressive "Shadow Cabinet"

[DonViejo]

Today, a progressive "Shadow Cabinet" will start tweeting under @ShadowingTrump to rebut the president and his administration's statements, actions and tweets in real time.

The "cabinet" includes scholars, authors and former Democratic officials assembled by former New York City Public Advocate Mark Green in six weeks of frantic phoning, emailing and fundraising:

LAURENCE TRIBE, "Attorney General" — Constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School.

MARIELENA HINCAPIE, "INS/ICE/Immigration" — Executive director, National Immigration Law Center

DERAY MCKESSON, "Justice Issues" — Co-founder, Black Lives Matter; civil rights activist.

ROBERT REICH, "Labor/Commerce" — Ex-Labor Secretary, best-selling author.

LAURA TYSON, "Treasury/Trade" — Ex-chair CEA, professor at BerkeleyHass Business School.

DAVID CAY JOHNSTON, "IRS" — Pulitzer prize-winning journo/author; founder of new DCReport.
