Matt Gaetz' story isn't forgotten. Justice is still denied. Maybe one day men with money will be held accountable to the same laws as the rest of us.

Yet another horrible nominee, badly conflicted with tie-ins to industry that has vested interests.

This is the norm for the Republican administration cabinet; huge conflicts of interest, massive incompetents, and hugely corrupt.

No reason was given.
I take it's just the misogyny that's baked into the MAGA cult. This is the second woman admiral that the Republicans have fired in spite of the women's distinguished careers in the military.

Trump has started a trade war with South Africa, with South Africa firing the latest salvo by cutting off all United State business and banning exports of minerals to the U.S.

Why? Seems Trump is siding with the forces of apartheid.

And also, Trump has no authority to offer federal employees a buyout. Why would anyone trust him with this and voluntarily resign, expecting anything in return? He's got a LONG personal history of stiffing employees and contractors.
This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
