Good news: The Senate just confirmed David Huitema as the permanent head of the Office of Government Ethics.
That's an important step to safeguard ethics compliance ahead of a second Trump administration that threatens to be even more corrupt than the first.

NEW: @crew.bsky.social today called on the House Ethics Committee to publicly release the report of its ethics investigation into AG nominee Matt Gaetz. Gaetz resigned from Congress, but nothing prevents the House from releasing the report. There is direct precedent and an urgent need for doing so.

RFK Jr., whose wife committed suicide because he reportedly cut her off financially, is now in charge of The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (a part of HHS).
It focuses on mental health services, substance abuse prevention, and recovery support.

Trump needlessly killed 600,000 Americans with his reckless COVID policies. With his selection of RFK Jr. to head the Dept of Health and Human Services, he'll easily triple that.

1. The Gaetz report is a work product that has been funded by the American taxpayer.
Releasing it is not releasing random investigative materials that could harm someone unfairly.
It does not contain classified information that would harm the national security of the United States.
