The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

OUR HERO OF THE DAY IS... Mackenzie Scott, the ex-wife to Jeff Bezos. This week Elon Musk said Scott was destroying western civilization by donating hundreds of millions to women charities and causes. Her response, was to double her donations! Your thoughts?

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields. You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz as his pick for attorney general cnn.it/3UQLjSl

Matt Gaetz did not plead guilty to sex trafficking a teenage girl. He was investigated when a one time friend pled guilty to trafficking a 17yr old. Investigation was dropped and no charges made. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

Trump, who raped a woman in a department store dressing room and was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, is trying to make a Member of Congress about to get sanctioned by Congress for allegedly having sex with underage women THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.

Huge scoop from Jake, Bres and Mel — the House Ethics Committee was scheduled to vote in TWO DAYS to release the “highly damaging” report on its investigation into Matt Gaetz. Gaetz’s resignation means the Ethics panel loses its jurisdiction, effectively ending the probe.

Matt Gaetz. We're going to hear a lot more about his connections to the teenage sex ring (Venmo, Joel G, etc.), "The Game" in Tallahassee, the dead guy in the dorm room, the DUIs...it's going to be a long, long confirmation.
