    Meanwhile, future First Lady Elon Musk weighed in on Tuesday

      I don’t. I don’t like Musk at all, but this business of calling him a lady as an insult feels like we slipped back a few decades. It has a bad taste about it.

        I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.

        Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

      No need to misgender him, though, we should just start calling him Trump’s sugar daddy

    But then Trump nominated Gaetz to attorney general on Wednesday and Gaetz quickly and quietly resigned from the House—meaning the committee no longer has jurisdiction over him and might never release the report.

    Why are these investigations always so slow?

      I think in this case, the house report couldn’t be released close to an election, so since Gaetz had a primary and general election, that delayed it by 5 months at least to be after the election. IMO, resigning or not shouldn’t matter to the report being in the public record.
