Finally, @nytimes editors get a headline right:
♦️Not "Doug Burgum, the sane normie."
♦️But "Doug Burgum...with longstanding ties to the oil industry."
That's the guy who'll be gutting the Department of the Interior.
Speaking at his event at Mar-a-Lago, Trump just said that Doug Burgum will be the secretary of the Department of the Interior. He said he was going to announce it tomorrow, but then said he'll announce it now instead.
@DeaconBlues0 Of course an oil exec has been picked to head the Department of the Interior. The destruction of the federal government is the point. Mission accomplished, Brownie.
This is Rep. Michael Guest, chair of the House Ethics Committee. His committee was scheduled to vote on releasing a damaging report on Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz prior to his resignation.
RETWEET if you think @RepMichaelGuest should release the Gaetz report!
So to enable Matt Gaetz to avoid a damning House Ethics Committee report outlining Gaetz’s illegal behavior, Trump just made Gaetz the top law enforcement officer in the country.
The DC swamp in action.
The attorney for the teenager at the center of allegations against alleged pedophile and child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz is asking the House Ethics Committee to release their report. Out of all of Trump's horrendous cabinet picks, Gaetz has been universally mocked as the worst.
Durbin: The timing of Mr. Gaetz's resignation from the house raises serious questions about the contents of the house ethics committee report. We cannot allow this information from a bipartisan investigation to be hidden from the American people.
@Acyn I can only imagine the dirt that Donald Trump has on Lindsey Graham. What is he blackmailing him with? That is the great mystery. What a sad, shrunken, sycophantic hack he has become. Does his duplicity know no bounds?
A speaker at Mar-a-Lago tonight: “Where is the George Soros of the right?"
Elon Musk: proudly raises his hand.
(I thought George Soros's involvement in politics was supposed to be a bad thing 🤔)
So beautiful you’re gonna take her Social Security, her Medicare, her husband’s VA benefits, her pension, and her disability assistance and she’s gonna have to pay an additional $3900 in taxes to afford your tariffs, so even if she’s lucky enough to remain healthy she’ll be broke
