Capitol Alert: It's 'aloha, Maui' For California Lawmakers

What do anti-vaxxers and abortion opponents have in common? They both see an ally in David Weldon, who is now President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The physician and ex-Florida congressman‘s track record includes introducing legislation that would have stripped the CDC of its authority to conduct research on vaccine safety and instead given it to an independent agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.

In the middle of the Thanksgiving holiday stretch, Donald Trump announced what might be his most extreme and controversial appointment yet: Kash Patel for FBI director. There are many reasons why this decision is outrageous. Patel is a MAGA combatant who has fiercely advocated Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and who has championed January 6 rioters as patriots and unfairly persecuted political prisoners.

KEVIN FREKING WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s drive to upend the FBI was welcomed by Republican senators although it was not clear on Sunday how strongly members of the incoming majority party would embrace his move to install ally Kash Patel as the next director of the Justice Department’s top investigative arm. Patel, a onetime national security prosecutor who is aligned with the president-elect’s rhetoric about a “deep state,” “must prove to Congress he will reform & restore public trust in FBI,” said Sen.

For the past year, Representative Drunken Van Orden (MAGA-WI) was constantly whining about the price of gas, eggs, and butter, even if he had to lie about the prices. But when he was interviewed by CNN's Boris Sanchez, he was singing a whole different tune: During the interview, DVO said that he was just fine with paying more for things if it was because of Orange Felon's bigotry and racism: “And if it means that I have to pay more for guacamole but fentanyl poisoning does not come across the Canadian and Mexican border, and our mothers and sisters and brothers and daughters aren’t poisoned to death by this chemical that’s coming across the borders, I’m willing to pay for guacamole, as is the rest of the United States of America.” I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out that Felon's tariffs will also affect the price of tequila, not to mention all the food that gets imported from Mexico and Canada. But wait!

Geez, does anyone want to buy the scent of dirty diapers before you take your girl out on a hot date? Well, you're in luck! Donald Trump has been hawking many items, including a signed guitar for a mere $11,000; however, he's been slammed with a cease-and-desist letter from famed guitar maker Gibson Guitars. His tacky $299.00 golden sneakers are another item, but now we have a cologne where you can smell like Trump for $99.00. The Guardian reports: For those who want to smell like Trump, it also offers cologne.

Democrats are turning on one another in defeat.
