Matt Gaetz Says He Won’t Return to Congress
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), “who withdrew from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general on Thursday, said Friday he will not be returning to Congress next year,” CNN reports.
Said Gaetz: “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”
I’ll admit that now I’m really curious to know what’s in that House Ethics Committee report.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Will Back Mike Johnson This Time
After leading an unsuccessful effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) plans to support his reelection as speaker next year, Punchbowl News reports.

History Will Not Be Kind to Joe Biden
Garrett Graff: “Tragedy has always defined the public pathos of Joe Biden’s political career. And he will be a uniquely tragic figure now in American presidential history, for reasons that will be seen as entirely within his own control.”
“Biden’s presidential legacy will be defined historically by creating the circumstances that allowed Donald Trump to regain the White House, allowing a man to return to the presidency despite during his time out of office having been found liable of sexual assault, convicted of 34 felonies, and charged in three more serious state and federal criminal cases, including one that involved an attempted coup.”
“Biden’s decision to not run for re-election earlier, despite his visible public decline, will surely rank as one of the most far-reaching in American politics, a turning point that altered the path of the country, perhaps for generations.”
