Donald Trump just nominated Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General.
3 things to know about Matt Gaetz:
- He has never practiced law a day in his life.
- He resigned from Congress yesterday. His own Republican colleagues say this was to avoid the House Ethics Committee releasing a report scheduled for this week on his alleged child sex trafficking.
- Even Republican senators were shocked by this extremist and Trump loyalist being put in charge of our nation's law enforcement.
All senators need to hear from their constituents who oppose this brazen attempt to politicize and weaponize the Justice Department, a true mark of fascism. Can you call Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman right away to register your opposition to Gaetz?
Yes! I will call Sens. Casey and Fetterman right now.
No, I can't call right now, but I will donate to the PCCC's work pushing Democrats in Congress to FIGHT BACK.
Making Matt Gaetz Attorney General will give an outspoken FBI-hater and Trump sycophant the power to implement a Project 2025 plan that proposes moving the Justice Department — and all of its law enforcement arms, including the FBI — directly under presidential control.
This would allow Trump to weaponize the Justice Department, including the FBI, against his political opponents like a true fascist dictator.
To get his way with insane nominations like this, Trump has also proposed reviving so-called "recess appointments." This would involve the Senate abdicating its role in approving nominees so Trump's picks could take office with ZERO checks and balances. He doesn't want ANY oversight or accountability. The Senate MUST NOT allow it.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
