NEW: Senator-elect Adam Schiff says that the Ethics Committee must release its report on Matt Gaetz.

"The taxpayers paid for that analysis in that report. I think they have a right to see it."

Who else agrees with Adam Schiff?

It would take nearly $8 trillion in budget cuts merely to stabilize the national debt so it does not grow faster than the economy.

The national debt just hit $36 trillion. Does Trump have a plan to control it?

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story.

And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign
