🚨 🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM @PunchbowlNews :
Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.
The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.
The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.
President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.
Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.
See how this works?

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)
Donald Trump won the popular vote and the electoral college. He can claim a mandate. But he'd better understand what that mandate was about.
It was about boosting working people and dealing with the border, not appointing extremists to seek vengeance on his opponents.

Remember, by elevating incompetent fascists like Hegseth, Gabbard, and Gaetz, the aim is to demoralize us.
It's ok to be horrified by the injustice and insanity of it all, but instead of feeling helpless and withdrawing, let’s get angry and fight.
BREAKING: Newly unearthed footage shows Fox News host and Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hyping up Trump’s infamous rally the morning of January 6, 2021. Totally unfit for office. Retweet so all Americans see this.
