Fox News: Dem says Gaetz can't 'resign away' ethics probe; Mike Johnson says release would not be 'appropriate'
Sen. Dick Durbin has criticized former Rep. Matt Gaetz's resignation as a way to avoid an ethics investigation into serious misconduct allegations, including sexual misconduct with a minor. Durbin advocates for the release of the investigation report, citing precedent.
House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes releasing the report, arguing it could set a dangerous precedent. Gaetz's nomination for attorney general under President-elect Trump faces scrutiny, with some GOP senators expressing doubts about his confirmation due to the allegations against him.
Fox News: Ranked choice voting dealt blow by voters, rejected in numerous states
Several states, including Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and Idaho, rejected ranked choice voting measures last week. Voter skepticism about the complexity of the system was a significant factor, with Colorado's Proposition 131 and Idaho's Proposition 1 both failing by large margins.
In Oregon, Proposition 117 was also turned down by 58% of voters, while Nevada's similar measure was rejected by 53%. Missouri voters approved a constitutional amendment banning ranked choice voting, reinforcing a trend seen in several other states.
Breitbart: Paul Krugman Pushes Baseless Conspiracy Theory About Trump Administration Faking Economic Data
Paul Krugman has asserted that economic statistics may be manipulated under the incoming Trump administration, claiming that data could be distorted to support presidential policies. He draws parallels to previous claims made during the Obama years, suggesting these accusations are often projections of conservative intentions.

Fox News: Democrats' furor over 'unqualified' Trump nominees puts Biden's staffing decisions back in the spotlight
Conservatives are defending President-elect Trump's Cabinet appointments against Democratic criticism regarding qualifications. They cite examples from the Biden administration where nominees faced similar scrutiny, arguing that the Democrats are hypocritical in their standards.
Critics from both sides highlight various nominees' backgrounds, with Democrats questioning Trump's choices like Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, while Republicans have pointed out perceived inadequacies in Biden's appointees. The debate continues as both parties assess qualifications and past performance.
Breitbart: Google Erases History: When Asked 'What Happened on July 13?' AI Fails to Include Trump Assassination Attempt
Google AI has been criticized for omitting the assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump from its search results for "what happened on July 13," while prominently featuring the attempt on former President Reagan when searching for "what happened on March 30." This inconsistency raises concerns about potential bias in how historical events are presented.
The search engine's failure to include the Trump incident, despite it being a significant event for many, highlights the influence of Big Tech on public knowledge and historical record. Critics argue this could lead to future generations being unaware of important contemporary events.
Breitbart: Democrat Disinfo: 'BlueAnon' Conspiracy Theories Run Wild After Trump's Election Victory
Following Donald Trump's decisive victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, conspiracy theories from a group dubbed "BlueAnon" have surged among Harris supporters. Claims of election fraud and calls for recounts have proliferated on social media, with significant mentions of "Trump cheated."
These theories include unfounded assertions about an assassination attempt on Trump being staged and bizarre allegations involving Elon Musk's Starlink service manipulating vote counts. Despite the claims, actual vote tallies show Harris has received fewer votes than Biden in 2020, with more ballots still being counted.
Breitbart: House Democrat Calls for 'Shadow Government' to Undermine Trump, with Adam Schiff as Fake AG
Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) proposes forming a "shadow government" to counteract the Trump administration's policies, suggesting a cabinet of opposition members to challenge and scrutinize the government. He believes this would serve as a form of checks and balances.
Nickel outlined potential candidates for this shadow cabinet, including Adam Schiff as shadow Attorney General and Jahana Hayes as shadow Education Secretary. He emphasized the need for Democrats to respond to what he views as threats from Trump's agenda, framing the initiative as essential for defending democracy.

The Western Journal: RFK Jr. Haters May Be Silenced by Forgotten Article from 2008
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, sparking criticism from liberals due to his controversial views on vaccines and traditional medicine. A 2008 article suggested that he was once considered for a top role in the Obama administration.
Despite the backlash, some argue that Kennedy's background as an environmental lawyer and health advocate makes him a viable choice. Trump's selections, including Kennedy and Pete Hegseth for defense, reflect his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises rather than catering to political elites.
