With the gavel finally in his hand, Kevin McCarthy’s first act as Speaker of the House was to cut down the Office of Congressional Ethics, like palm trees blocking his view of Mar-a-Lago, the MAGA safe house. That’s pretty convenient when your party’s leadership is filled with election deniers, January 6th apologists, and at least one made-up person (we see you, George Santos…if that’s your name). If this is how the 118th Congress starts, we doubt it will get much better. Gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics is only the tip of the MAGA-madness iceberg. So what chaos lies beneath the surface? Could it be sham investigations into the lawmakers who tried to hold insurrectionists accountable? Maybe it’s bogus committees to attack federal agencies investigating Trump? Or is it a plot to criminalize abortion, gut Social Security and Medicaid, and suppress our freedom to vote? It’s all of these. Thanks for all that you do! Sami & Chloe
