Sen. Rand PaulRand PaulFive Republicans who could buck Trump in 2017 Rand Paul tears into Trump, Cabinet picks in annual 'airing of grievances' Congress should pass balanced budget with ObamaCare repeal MORE (R-Ky.) took shots at President-elect Donald TrumpDonald TrumpTrump defends foundation, hits media Four starting points for reforming Dodd-Frank Trump will meet president of Republic of Congo MORE and his incoming administration on Friday as part of his annual "airing of grievances" to celebrate Festivus.

The holiday was created on the sitcom Seinfeld, and every year the Kentucky senator uses the occasion to launch attacks on Twitter.

He started this year's airing with an image from Seinfeld and a declaration that the holiday is real.

Hello again, I hope everyone is having a Happy Festivus! It's once again time for my annual #AiringofGrievances... pic.twitter.com/pZfRtAUtZN

On the media & #fakenews: Festivus is real, media, so don't try 2 fact check it. And @TheOnion is more accurate than a Brian Williams report

Paul then pivoted to Trumps picks for his Cabinet, which by most estimates would be the wealthiest in modern history.

New administration is lookin good. Haven't seen this many billionaires in 1 place since I staked out Bilderbergs w/ Alex Jones. Good times.

Paul, who leans libertarian, also poked fun at tech billionaire Peter Thiel, an avowed libertarian who is assisting the transition.

.@peterthiel is advising the President Elect. That's great. But his plan 2 make the Statue of Liberty into a digital stop sign is a bit much

Paul set his sights on former Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, whom he has vowed to oppose in any confirmation hearings for his interventionist views.

I know I've said a lot about @AmbJohnBolton so you're probably expecting me 2 say something nice for the holidays. Nope. #AiringofGrievances

Bolton was reportedly considered for secretary of Stat before Trump tapped Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Rex Tillerson.

Paul also mocked former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) for his 2011 debate gaffe in which he forgot the name of the departments that he wanted to eradicate. One of those was the Department of Energy, which Trump has chosen him to run.

My favorite Cabinet pick is what's his name, umm it's that guy who wanted to eliminate the Dept. of @ENERGY. Hang on I'll think of it...

New administration has some great people. But I wanna know who has to tell @realdonaldtrump he can't build a golf course on the South Lawn?

I've only just begun. I'll be back to talk waste, more gov grievances and nonbinding resolutions against my Senate colleagues #HappyFestivus
