Here it is: Everyone. Including the violent ones who assaulted hundreds of police officers who were trying to help Trump carry out his attempt to remain in power despite losing election.

Alrighty, just another 1460 days to go.

Row 1 of the inauguration: The richest men in America who own all of the communications platforms.

Row 2: The cabinet.

We aren't really pretending Trump moved his Inauguration inside because of the cold are we? It was just as cold for Barack Obama's 2009 Inauguration which had a record number of 1.8M in attendance. But Trump's 2016 Inauguration was sparsely attended despite temps in the 40s.

As a mom of two young girls, I can assure you Matt Gaetz couldn’t pass a background check to babysit my daughters—let alone to be Attorney General of the United States.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Republicans seem a lot more concerned to protect women on the Hill from the imaginary problem of being in a stall next to Rep. Sarah McBride, than to acknowledge and protect women from the very real depredations of men like Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

[Rockland @JulietPapaUAP]

Are you seriously trying to rehabilitate Matt Gaetz *and* call scrutiny of his record a 'lynch mob'? Gaetz’s *own colleagues* have raised alarms about his behavior, yet you’re playing the ‘due process’ card to deflect from his *very public* scandals.

This isn't a ‘rubber stamp’ issue—it’s a question of credibility and basic decency. The DOJ's decision not to prosecute doesn't erase his *sleazy and unethical conduct*. And invoking ‘fundamental fairness’ for someone as divisive and unqualified as Gaetz reeks of hypocrisy when GOP Senators have spent years torpedoing nominees *without cause*.

Stop pretending this is about process or principle. Defending this nomination insults every American who expects leadership, not more chaos, from their government.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

MAGA, if Biden nominated a man accused of sleeping with an underaged girl at a drug-filled party for AG, would you not be calling all Democrats who supported it a "pedo"?

Be honest.

We are better than this. Matt Gaetz is a disgrace. #mydaughteris17

RFK Jr. went to Samoa in June 2018, spreading anti-vax disinfo and boosting a local anti-vaxxer

In November 2018, Samoa had a huge measles outbreak, exacerbated by anti-vax disinfo

83 people died - mostly children

How many American children are about to die because of RFK Jr.?

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

So the GOP is just currently covering up potential sex crimes against children by one of their members and instead of releasing the report, they are trying to make that person the Attorney General of the United States? Do we have that right?

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

We've now reached the "cover for child rape in exchange for earthly power" phase of Mike Johnson's Christianity.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

[Beth Old @BethJane445]

I am sickened by the nomination of Matt Gaetz to AG. My daughter is 17.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING NEWS!!! THIS IS DAMNING!!!

ABC News exclusively reports that the woman involved in the Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz sat for multiple days of testimony in front of the House Ethics Committee and testified that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor in high school at age 17.

The House Ethics Committee also subpoenaed Gaetz's former girlfriend for testimony and obtained a sworn written statement where she lists Gaetz as one of the attendees at a party in July 2017, where dugs were present and which was attended by the woman who Gaetz allegedly had sex with when she was a minor. Gaetz was already an elected member of Congress at the time.

The House ethics Committee also obtained written testimony from another woman who said that she was at a party in July of 2017 in Florida that Gaetz attended, which was also attended by the woman who was a minor at the time and where drugs, including cocaine, were present.

Another woman told the committee that she was paid by Gaetz for sex. Gaetz has long denied all of the allegations, but the committee subpoenaed the company Venmo and obtained records of some payments made by Gaetz.

RELEASE THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT ON GAETZ NOW.

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

Why are we not allowed to know about potential criminal behavior from an attorney general nominee?

Is the Trump cult of personality that strong for Speaker Johnson he actually thinks this is rational?

[Irishrygirl @irishrygirl]

RFK Jr is not a scientist, he’s not a medical doctor, he’s not a nurse, researcher. He does not have the credentials or experience to run the dept of health and human services. He’s a former heroin user, worms ate some of his brain after he ate roadkill.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Gowdy: You don't root out corruption at the DOJ by picking a corrupt person to lead it. Either the report comes out and is he not going to be the attorney general or the report doesn't come out and he is not going to be the attorney general

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

I can’t stop laughing about him appointing TWO dudes to run the Department of Government Efficiency.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

So that's why Matt Gaetz resigned immediately yesterday — to kill the ethics investigation into him.
