If the roles were reversed, the House Republicans would hold three press events a day to demand the release of the report and to condemn the opposition for covering up sex crimes.

But most of the House Democrats find partisan displays of politics *icky* so ...
The House voted 204-198 to block release of the Gaetz ethics report. All Dems present voted to release, along with Republican Tom McClintock of CA. Every other Republican present voted to keep Gaetz's violations covered up.

Again, Gaetz is accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape.

It's also true that there will be so much of this kind of thing - fraud on a completely new scale - that our underfunded media and our shattered attention spans might find it hard to cope. People are already used to the next administration's corruption and it's not Jan 20 yet
Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

"If nothing else, this shows you what a tremendous mistake it is not to do background checks." @janemayer.bsky.social on what is apparently still-developing reporting on Donald Trump's secretary of defense nominee, Fox News' Pete Hegseth

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:

Is it a story? Sure.

But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

The Founders designed a system of checks and balances in order to prevent tyranny.

Sen. Crapo's position is a rejection of the Founders' design and, if followed, will result in the condition the Founders sought to prevent.
