The bipartisan House Ethics Committee announced earlier this week that it unanimously opted to close several investigations involving alleged campaign finance violations by three Republicans and one Democrat, a move that one expert characterized as a "New Year's Eve Ethics Massacre." The decision to close the investigations into Reps. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.), Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), and Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.) was made public in a vaguely worded press release published the day before New Year's Eve. The panel, composed of five Republicans and five Democrats, said while "there was evidence" that lawmakers who were under investigation "did not fully comply with the applicable standards relating to personal use of campaign funds," the committee determined there wasn't proof that "any member intentionally misused campaign funds for their personal benefit."read more

  • Racist Much? Republican Claims Hegseth More Qualified Than Austin
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 01/06/2025 - 06:48 PM

    During a segment on this Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, incoming Republican Sen. Jim Banks was asked about the upcoming hearings with Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and Banks made the ridiculous claim that Hegseth was "more qualified than Secretary Austin," and Tapper just sat there like a potted plant before thanking Banks for coming on and ending the segment. TAPPER: Trump's secretary of defense nominee, Pete Hegseth, is going to appear before your committee on the 14th.

  • Merrick Garland's Statement On Jan 6 Is... Really Something
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 01/06/2025 - 06:26 PM

    Happy Treason Day, y'all! It's that time of year again: Jan. 6th. Four years ago today, Trump supporters, after being whipped into a frenzy by their hero, stormed the Capitol, and many of them were armed. The inciter of the attack can get back into the White House again because he wasn't held accountable for his actions. This morning on Truth Social, Donald penned this doozy of a post: CONGRESS CERTIFIES OUR GREAT ELECTION VICTORY TODAY — A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY.

  • MAGA Pastor Admits: 'We Are A Cult' And Drank The Orange Kool-Aid
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 01/06/2025 - 06:26 PM

    MAGA pastor Shane Vaughn told his flock of viewers that it's liberals' fault they've become a cult. Vaughn argued the evangelical base of Trump supporters was forced into a cult mentality. Vaughn then claimed MAGAts believe in justice. This is a lie, of course. Trump's criminality in the Oval Office is legendary, and if Dems controlled the Senate, he would have been rightfully and entirely impeached from ever holding public office. "You are forcing us to look like a cult," Vaughn said. We cannot force Evangelicals to do anything. Since Clinton took office, the right wing has made its mission to attack Democratic presidents continually, so this man's excuses are absurd. "We are steadfast in our support of a single man," Vaughn continued.
