Trump Cabinet picks of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, Matt Gaetz, and Tulsi Gabbard: The biggest political stories of the week.

Slate  

The Surge spent a good amount of time in the Capitol this week. When Trump posted that he would nominate Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to serve as attorney general, it was as if the building itself asked, What the fuck?? You can make the argument that other reckless nominees, in the positions to which they’ve been nominated, present a greater risk to general public well-being. But nothing equals the malevolence behind the pick of Gaetz, an unqualified troll openly despised by colleagues on the left and the right for his hostility to a functional working environment, who resigned his seat this week to preempt the release of what’s expected to be a damaging Ethics Committee report into his alleged corruption, drug use, and sexual misconduct. The second is that this is a position in which loyalty is of special importance to Trump; he loathes his previous two attorneys general, Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, for not preventing the Mueller investigation and not doing enough to overturn the 2020 election, respectively.
