When asked to vote on who was the country's single "greatest" citizen, Canadians didn't say Wayne Gretzky or some celebrity or even some prime minister - they gave the award to the guy who led the battle for universal single-payer health care. https://buff.ly/3VTTZIb

In 2020, there wasn’t a single voting center in Skid Row. This year, the James Wood Community Center was one of two pop-up locations in the area for unhoused residents to cast their ballots. https://boltsmag.org/los-angeles-county-flex-vote-centers-unhoused-voters/

Would you hire someone with those allegations to work for your organization? To babysit your kids? Would you like the United States Congress to make sure you had access to that information before making a hiring decision? According to Speaker Johnson, your questions are moot.

Matt Gaetz was under ethics investigation for sexual misconduct, sharing sexually explicit images and sex with a minor. All charges that have precedent for continued investigation and public release. He was also under investigation for illicit drug use.

In 1990, Rep Don Lukens (R-OH) resigned while under ethics investigation for sexual misconduct, sex with a minor and making sexual advances to an employee. The report was subsequently released. It was not “moot”. https://ethics.house.gov/committee-reports/matter-representative-donald-e-lukens

In 1987, Rep Bill Boner (D-TN) resigned while under ethics investigation for misuse of campaign funds, improper gifts, failure to reveal business interests on his FD and acceptance of a bribe. The report was subsequently released. It was not “moot”.

In 1987, 1990, 2006 and 2011 members under investigation by House Ethics resigned and the committee not only continued their work but (in all but 2011) released the report. Johnson's lack of respect for the institution is the real story here.
