Remember when MAGA was so worried about national security that they even obsessed about how emails were handled?
President-elect Donald Trump's team is skipping FBI background checks for some Cabinet picks as he floats controversial choices for high-level government posts cnn.it/48V57tC
I’d like to congratulate Mitch McConnell, “master tactician”, for laying the groundwork that brought us this cabinet full of people who hate him, laugh at racist jokes about his wife, and reject everything he stands for (plus marco rubio). Amazing job.
Trump is weighing a push from allies to nominate Kash Patel to lead the FBI, one of clearest signs president-elect plans to stick by vow to fire Director Chris Wray & replace him with a loyalist. w/ @SaraMurray, @evanperez & @PamelaBrownCNN cnn.com/2024/11/15/pol…
No president has used his Art. II power to force Congress to recess for the purpose of circumventing the Senate’s obligation to provide “advice and consent” regarding presidential nominations. Doing so would violate the Constitution’s basic structure of checks and balances.
Speaker Johnson is requesting they hide the Ethics report on Matt Gaetz. This is called a cover up, and Johnson is leading it! Corporate media must start reporting it as that!
I would love to hear Mike Johnson explain how it's in the national interest to *not* release the results of an investigation into the ethics of a candidate for Attorney General.
NEW : Mike Johnson urges Ethics panel to not release report on Matt Gaetz, an unprecedented move since investigation is supposed to be separate from speaker’s office “I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report" Johnson tells @alisonkmain
THIS PREDICTION IS A SURE THING: Donald Trump is going to try to take credit for the Infrastructure Bill that Biden and Democrats fought to pass into law. House and Senate Republicans have already taken credit for the billions of dollars in infrastructure funding flowing into…
Tick tock... Putin is searching for lifelines, but without giving up his invasion or even his stated goal of destroying Ukraine. Keep the pressure on.
The Ruble is now worth just 1 US cent again, as Russia's currency continues a monthslong slide, coupled with skyrocketing internal inflation.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to order stopping the development of new drugs for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and other illnesses for eight years on his first day as HHS secretary. Thank you, Trump voters.
Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services said during the campaign that he would stop research on drug development and infectious diseases for 8 years. What could possibly go wrong?
Public health relies on a reliance on facts and science. The damage a Secretary of Health and Human Services who casually denies facts and science and, instead, spreads unfounded conspiracy theories, is enormous.
RFK, ladies and gentlemen
The glaring incompetence of Trumps appointees is on brand. But as the father of an immunosuppressed child, I can tell you, Kennedy at HHS can have far reaching devastating impact.
JFK to Congress, January 1961: "Our Constitution wisely assigns both joint and separate roles to each branch of the government. And a President and a Congress who hold each other in mutual respect will neither permit nor attempt any trespass."
BREAKING: In a stunning act of defiance, Republican Senator Mike Rounds is directly contradicting Speaker Mike Johnson and saying the Senate will likely get its hands on the Matt Gaetz investigation findings. This is huge.
Here is @SpeakerJohnson in Dec 2023 regarding the release of additional Jan 6 security footage: "Look we want the American people to draw their own conclusions. I don't think partisan elected officials in Washington should present a narrative and expect that it should be seen as…
Breaking: House Speaker Mike Johnson said he does not think the House Ethics Committee report on allegations related to Matt Gaetz should be released and he is “going to request that the ethics committee not release the report.”

According to the Drought Monitor, 95.75% of the Northeast is in some form of dry spell (yellow) or drought (orange scale). November is typically one of our wettest and cloudiest months. 🌵
While I expected it, Im stunned by how quickly so many Trump voters are writing/talking in horror as Trump makes clearer every day that he plans to do exactly what he said he would. (It seems many are upset because his actions will affect THEM, not just people they hate.) FAFO.
Please. When It Comes To What Trump Is Doing Right Now, Please Believe The Worst. Believe the Most Sinister x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
LOL we TOLD you that the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America with SCOTUS immunity. Y’all chose a felon to occupy it anyhow, and you gave him the senate and house. Brace for unchecked corruption, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Awful: Senate investigations into Trump's solicitation of $1 billion from Big Oil and Jared Kushner's financial dealings with Saudis will now hit a wall with GOP control, Dems tell me. We're headed for unchecked elite corruption under Trump. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/188467…
Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tulsi Gabbard: "There's no question I consider her someone who is likely a Russian asset."
This is unacceptable. We cannot have our cabinet secretaries overseeing our most sensitive information go without background checks. @SenatorDurbin should immediately request a background check for all nominees from the FBI while he is still Chair of the Judiciary Committee.
New: Trump’s transition team is bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some Cabinet picks while using private companies to vet potential candidates for admin jobs, sources tell us. More w/ @evanperez, @KristenhCNN & @HolmesLybrand cnn.com/2024/11/15/pol…
