Donald Trump is rushing out cabinet picks, each more absurd and disastrous than
the last.

All of them are categorically unqualified.

All of them are MAGA adherents from whom Trump expects — and has reason to
expect — absolute fealty.

If confirmed by the Senate, all of them will be a significant threat to the
American people, our democracy, our planet, and everyone on it.

Perhaps the worst pick so far — though the competition is stiff — is Matt Gaetz
for Attorney General.

* Matt Gaetz is a sycophantic, degenerate buffoon.

* He is also a January 6 die-hard, an anti-voter extremist, and one of Donald
Trump’s most servile henchmen in Congress. He is hostile to civil rights and
environmental protections. And more.

* The House of Representatives was about to issue the reportedly damning
results of an ethics investigation into Gaetz — until he resigned his seat in
Congress yesterday.

* It’s actually difficult to come up with someone who would be a worse choice
as our country’s top law enforcement official than Matt Gaetz.

By choosing Gaetz, Trump is trolling his own party. It’s a loyalty test: Will
Senate Republicans reject Gaetz — who they know is manifestly unsuited for the
job, and who they dislike intensely — or will they submit to Trump yet again?

But Gaetz is so ethically compromised — and so universally despised within
Congress, even among other Republicans — that there is a real chance of blocking him.

The Senate will begin voting on whether or not to confirm Matt Gaetz and Trump’s
other cabinet picks very soon after Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025, so we
have to start fighting these picks now.

To the 100 people who will be senators once Trump is president:

You must oppose the nomination of Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General. He is
utterly unqualified, hostile to the Department of Justice’s core values, and a
dangerous and intolerable choice to head the nation’s top law enforcement
agency. [[link removed]]
