  • Tulsi Gabbard Is a Uniquely Bad Choice For Director of National Intelligence
    Mother Jones, Wednesday - 11/13/2024 - 05:23 PM

    Donald Trump’s appointment announcements are getting weird. The president-elect’s selection of Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State nominee, suggested a step toward GOP convention. But Trump’s selection of former Democratic Rep.

    Mother Jones, Wednesday - 11/13/2024 - 04:07 PM

    Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters in Congress, is the president-elect’s pick for attorney general, a stunning choice that builds upon Trump’s long-held views of the Justice Department as an extension of his White House.
