Dear _____,<\/p>\n

Another week, another round of headlines from Trump’s transition picks.<\/p>\n

This week in OtherWords, my colleague Josh Hoxie examines some of the next administration’s key economic advisers and finds something startling: They’re exactly the kind of Wall Street guys Trump railed against on the campaign trail. Cartoonist Khalil Bendib imagines\u00a0them frolicking about in the swamp Trump promised to drain.<\/p>\n

And, Martha Burk adds, they’re peddling the same old trickle down economic playbook the GOP has favored for decades \u2014 which is bad news for everyone, but especially underpaid women workers.<\/p>\n

Also this week, Jill Richardson looks at some of the choice remarks key Trump advisers have made about feminists and decides it’s time for a refresher course on what the feminist movement is really about. And Jim Hightower scoffs at Trump’s claim that “millions” of people voted illegally for his opponent. (The real number appears to be about 0.)<\/p>\n

Finally, there was good news last weekend\u00a0for the Natives resisting the pipeline near their land in North Dakota. This fall, Juliana Barnet visited the camp there and reports back this week on what she found.<\/p>\n
