NEW: Matt Gaetz spared multiple women from having to testify at his confirmation hearings. But the Senate still hasn't learned how to investigate sexual misconduct allegations with care, and with or without Gaetz, that problem's here to stay. My latest for @maddowblog: https://t.co/Sw6fXqhmPz

Milley answered, “Mr. President, we have military ethics and laws about what happens in battle. We can’t do that kind of thing. It’s a war crime.” Trump said he didn’t understand “the big deal.”

The New York Times' @kenbensinger tells Rachel about the dangers inherent in the new Trump administration having no transition and trying to start cold turkey if Trump refuses to sign necessary ethical pledges.

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

In these early days of the next Trump administration, Rachel Maddow encourages Americans to notice how Trump is consolidating power by subjugating Congress and the judiciary.

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

"President-elect Donald J. Trump has not yet submitted a legally required ethics pledge stating that he will avoid conflicts of interest and other ethical concerns while in office, raising concerns that his refusal to do so will hamper the smooth transition to power."

NBC News confirms that Senator Marco Rubio, who once cast aspersions on the size of Donald Trump's genitals in a presidential debate, is expected to be Trump's choice for Secretary of State.

Dems are getting plenty of advice about their "whiffs of condescension" and "implied" disdain for key groups of voters.

But didn't Trump just make big gains with constituencies he's treated with unsubtle contempt? https://t.co/po1xyVOT7d

Maddow: "What they want least of all is to realize that half the country went to bed sad tonight but then woke up tomorrow fired up with a new sense of purpose knowing that apparently this is what we're on this Earth to do as American citizens in this generation."

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

Maddow: "They are going to do the things they can do easily and they will have to put off the things that turn out to be hard. So what's going to be hard for them? That's where the American people come in." (2/2)

"We must hold onto the things that refresh our spirits – time with family, music, art, nature, hobbies, food. We must protect our core"

Donald Trump is returning to the Presidency. What does that mean for the press? “The New Yorker, and any other outlet of the press worthy of its name, needs to be fearless,” David Remnick says. https://t.co/3mkNk7FxGE
