Summary

The House Ethics Committee has expanded access to its report on Matt Gaetz, recently nominated for attorney general by Trump.

The report details allegations of sexual abuse and drug use, including claims Gaetz paid women for sex and had relations with a minor, which he denies.

While House Speaker Mike Johnson seeks to block public release, some Republicans demand transparency due to Gaetz’s nomination.

The Justice Department previously investigated similar allegations but declined to press charges.

Senate confirmation hearings are expected to intensify scrutiny.

    I am in an accelerationist mindset myself. Unfortunately, MAGA is too gaslit to care, and 90 million don’t care or pay attention enough to actually vote. How much would the country actually have to burn to pay attention? Though there feels like not a lot else to do. At least with accelerationism, you can cheer on the fire to rage. Helps with the depression.
